Repeat Today, More4 +1 11pm
Repeat Tomorrow, More4 1am Nick Broomfield’s film at first comes across as a hatchet job, listing things that are trivial or well known. But the focus on Wasilla, Sarah Palin’s Alaskan home town, leads to a scary explanation of how someone so divorced from the issues got so far. Charismatic in public but driven by personal vendettas, Palin is – Broomfield argues – a vicious high-school mean girl who never grew up.
About this programme
The life of politician Sarah Palin. Director Nick Broomfield visits her home city of Wasilla, Alaska, to interview her family, school friends and Republican colleagues, but members of its devout evangelical community, which has 76 churches serving a population of only 6,000, are reluctant to talk.
