Citizens United wanted to run a documentary that told all kinds of stories that they felt were important to tell about Hillary Clinton.

You might have heard of Citizens United, the plaintiff ever since its 2010 Supreme Court case.

But Citizens United had for years been a conservative nonprofit that made media supporting Republicans and critical of Democrats.

And their film, Hillary the Movie, had a strong narrative.

Generally that she was kind of an awful person.

She's driven by the power.

Would be a terrible candidate.

She does not answer questions.

Disaster in all kinds of ways.

She is the expert of not saying what she believes.

So they produced this documentary.

Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Could she become the first female president in the history of the United States?

It wasn't designed to make a lot of money.

It was designed to be seen.

And they wanted to distribute that movie through video on demand.

Their goal at the outset was not to change campaign finance law.

They just wanted to be able to show their movie.

Citizens United wanted to run their movie on cable TV and air ads for it on broadcast TV close to the 2008 presidential primary election.

But the Federal Elections Commission opposed them.
