Nick Broomfield documentary will reveal the truth about Sarah Palin that the mythology infused "Undefeated" attempts to cover up.

From the LA Times:

Nick Broomfield, the much-decorated British documentarian and muckraker, has quietly been interviewing Palin confidantes and is close to finishing his film about the former Alaska governor, said a person who was briefed on the film but asked not to be identified because of the secretive nature of the project.

According to the source, among the people who appear in the untitled movie are Palin’s parents as well as numerous ex-aides. Many of those people, the source added, describe her not as the likable repository of aw-shucks wisdom Palin likes to present but a more ruthless politician who has trampled over opponents and is now a potential presidential candidate.

Working with a minimal crew and in a gonzo style, Broomfield is known for his unusual access to subjects, securing candid interviews in his films about Heidi Fleiss, Kurt Cobain and rappers Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur. At times controversial for his unorthodox and energetic style, Broomfield has nonetheless received a bevy of documentary prizes and received a lifetime achievement award at the BAFTA Awards, Britain’s equivalent of the Oscars.

Potential U.S. distributors will soon be contacted about Broomfield’s Palin film and could see a full version within a few weeks, said the source. The film could then play fall film festivals such as Toronto, with a distributor getting the opportunity to release it into the teeth of the 2012 election cycle, in which Palin is expected to be a key player.

Broomfield has a habit of making news with his window into the lives of the controversial and famous. In "Kurt & Courtney," he ambushed the late grunge rocker's widow, Courtney Love, and landed a damning interview with her. Love successfully sought to have the movie banned from the Sundance Film Festival. But it remains to be seen whether Broomfield’s Palin film will play to a larger audience or to a crowd predisposed against the politician.

Thank God I can finally talk about this film.  I WAS sworn to secrecy, but now that the LA Times has broken the story I can reveal that Nick shot some VERY interesting footage, and interviewed numerous people, most of whom did not do Sister Sarah any favors.

You will see some of your favorite players in this film, not to mention a blogger or two, and it should serve as quite a compliment to all of the books coming out about Palin this summer and fall.

Nick is stationed out of England, and the British HATE Palin as you can tell by the response of Margaret Thatcher's aides to her attempts to get close to their beloved friend. So her flying monkeys can piss all over themselves trying to block this film and all it will do is make Broomfield's supporters that much more determined to find an American distributor.  And how hard will THAT be in Hollywood?

You can learn more about Nick Broomdfield, by visiting his site. As you can see, he is the real deal!

  2. I find this VERY INTERESTING!

    Palin just coincidentally signed into law a bill that would make it legal for a "a parent to safely surrender a newborn child without the threat of prosecution, as long as there is no evidence the infant has been physically injured. Without penalty, a parent may leave the infant in the physical custody of a peace officer, physician or hospital employee, or a volunteer or employee of a fire station or emergency medical service."

    Soooo Sarah, just a scant 8 weeks (Feb 11 2008) before Trig was "delivered" you made it perfectly legal for parents to hand over a child to just about anyone in a uniform or on the government payroll. Very clever. Guess you had to do that to allay the fears of CBJ? or the Wasilla Bible Church member who also runs HeartReach and sits on the board at Mat-Su? Nice side benefit for the HeartReach fundy birthing mill really, they can get young women to hand over their babies without fear of reprisal.

    If anyone has talked about this bill before, I'd like to know - it is news to me.

    I hate Nick Broomfield. Kurt and Courtney was such a sensationalistic piece of crap. He "damning" interview with Courtney Love was no such thing. He tried to make a big deal over the fact that she was getting a first amendment award while scuttling his film...Yeah, well, who wouldn't want to scuttle a film that implies that YOU killed your husband and whose prime piece of evidence of this is an interview with the POS father who "disciplined her" with dogs...DOGS!!! And then tried to claim that Courtney hired some guy for $25,000 to kill Kurt and...oh, well, when he turns up dead, it must be because Courtney had him killed, too...

    That documentary has never been a secret. There is drama behind it though and plenty of lies surrounding the making. Like the lie about him being arrested. What BS. Even Nick himself denies EVER being arrested.

    Be careful who you talk to and believe. There are many people wrongly out for blood, people who have no qualms about making stuff up. YOU, blog owner, should know that better than anyone.

    Excellent news Gryphen, and I'm sure it just brings tears of joy to Granny Bendy Straw.

    It's perverse to enjoy schadenfreude, but when someone is as juvenile and nasty as $Paylin has been it's mostly karma smacking her in the head.

    The movie just piles on to "why everybody's pickin' on me" syndrome.

    My bet is that there are a lot of people who still have secrets about her that would come out into the light if she actually is deluded enough to want to declare herself a candidate for Prez.

    Keep up the good work!

    Gryphen, you have got to stop with the "and I've known about it allllll along!" bit. It seems like you do it with every major news item. It really is annoying! We KNOW you are privy to a lot...you don't have to remind us EVERY time that "you can now reveal you have known about this for months".

    I also really wish you would make some clarifying statements-

    Do you STILL not believe Bristol is the mother, or have you changed your thinking from two years ago based on all you've seen and heard in that time?

    Was Sadie your "source"? Do you think she has now been irreparably compromised by the Palins? She has told everyone she's done keeping quiet several times...only to then drop out of sight and keep quiet.

    Do you think Sadie will EVER say why the put a photo of Levi and TRIG (one of the "triggybear" photos) in the montage of photos on The Tyra show, photos which were introduced as "Levi's son"? The rest of the photos were of Tripp but surely it's significant the Johnstons showed such a photo?

    When we never heard word one from Sarah after the Johnstons took a photo of "her" baby and put it on TV, I felt the inclusion of that photo was to fire a shot across the bow.

    Just think what it's like being Lil Miss Bendy Straws today

    The scab from the Paul Revere wound is still very tender and sore

    She already found that she's not the only scorpion in the new house

    Another scandal is about to break about Willow and having got kicked out of schools in Alaska

    The secret divorce from Todd is going public soon, and her charade of "HAVE YOU SEEN TODD" will
    be revealed for the fraud it's always been

    This new movie is about to be released, which has some VERY damaging content.

    And someone will be filing a lawsuit to get the other 2000 emails that were retained as " too sensitive"
    by the corrupt bastards in Parnell's government

    Gee Sarah, maybe you should take 6 valium today instead of the usual 3, and call up Van Flein and beg
    him to come back to you.

    Or JUST MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE FUCK UP, and take care of your family instead of being a LYING CORRUPT BASTARD FUCKING MEDIA WHORE!~!

    Details starting to emerge from palin's emails

    ...After she was elevated to the national ticket, news organizations began vetting Palin's record. She was accused of essentially turning over questions about her gubernatorial record to McCain's campaign managers, part of an ambitious GOP strategy to limit any embarrassing disclosures and carefully shape her image for voters in the rest of the country.

    On Sept. 13, 2008, her then-spokesman, Bill McAllister, wrote to Palin at her government account: "Governor, Got your message just now; didn't quite understand. Mike said yesterday to refer most things to the campaign. That pretty much has been the practice lately."

I think even the redacted e-mails are very damaging and hope that someone puts out an organized set of them that show Palin is: 1) clueless, needing her staff to tell her who to see, what to say, and why; 2) vindictive, more interested in revenge than governing; 3) obsessed with her image; 4) lazy (bring me a Sharpie); 5) so eager to be on the Republican ticket that she completely changes her views on everything, including Obama. And yes there is something fishy about April 18. There's more; this is a start.

    7. Todd Palin acted as adviser, enforcer and co-governor without ever being appointed to any public office. The fact that he is copied on emails waives any right to privacy.

    To me, the most disturbing aspect of this whole overblown farce is that those assiduous protectors of Palin’s privacy, who redacted ten percent of the emails, did not bother to cross out personal contact information for anyone who’d emailed the governor’s office with criticism of Sarah. As first reported by PoliticusUSA, Alaskan citizens who exercised their right of free speech now find their email addresses, telephone numbers, and home addresses made available to the same sort of vigilantes who came after me last summer for merely moving in next door to her.

    Let us hope that no harm–even in the form of threat or harassment–comes to anyone whose privacy has been invaded by Palin loyalists who retain government positions in the Parnell administration, and who were responsible for setting critics up as targets.

    Will MSM call Parnell to account for this lapse?

    Don’t hold your breath.

    Now that they’ve come up empty in their frenzied quest for scandal, representatives of MSM will retreat as quickly and quietly as possible, asking the editors who put them on this cold case, “What were you thinking?”

    The answer is, they weren’t thinking. They were hoping for a quick hit, a tabloid headline that could parlay the public’s ongoing obsession with all things Palin into website hits that equal advertising dollars.

    It used to be only the supermarket tabloids that operated in such a fashion.

    Now we witness the singularly unedifying spectacle of The New York Times, Washington Post, Huffington Post, Daily Beast, MSNBC, and even the Guardian hanging out their tongues in the hope that a tasty crumb might fall from Sarah’s table.

    Sorry, folks. Move along, nothing to see here except a governor who was sensitive to criticism and worried about her public image

She's a loose cannon and I can hardly wait for her July 4th effort, will she try to horn in on the Ronald Reagan ceremony in London? Get into Maggie's space for a photo op? Jet off to the US for 4th of July celebration somewhere? Then off to the Sudan for a "first" official Presidential to the new country? Sadly her minions will see these acts as proving she can do the job. More sadly she will screw it up, do something stupid, say something more stupid, and be the laughing stock once again. Does she really think the British press will take kindly to her horning in on Maggie? No, they'll heap abuse on her like she deserves. Have fun Sara. The walls are closing in, more slowly than I like but they continue moving forward and soon you'll have no place to run or hide. The bloggers and the people you've thrown under the bus will be your ultimate downfall. All it's going to take is one or two more of the people you've used to come forward.

    This is OT but i wanted to leave a message for the Palins and the trolls re: the faked pregnancy.

    I realized Trig was not Sarah's just from watching him being carried on stage at the RNC. I was watching it with friends, and hadn't been paying close attention, until one childless male friend asked, "Who's baby is that???" Mindlessly, the rest of us present said, "Hers." My friend responded, "No, it's not. Just look." Sure enough,we looked closer, and something was just off. A complete lack of maternal affection, a weird subtle sense of contempt, incredibly odd body language.

    None of us present knew ANYTHING about Sarah until the RNC. It wasn't until later that I went online and found out the rumors that she faked the pregnancy, and read her account of the wild ride. All that information just reinforced what was on stage at the RNC--Sarah did not give birth to that baby. I don't know who did, don't care much, either.

    You destroyed your own credibility the minute you tried to move your charade to the national stage, before you even opened your mouth, Sarah.

    A couple of things.

    First, Sadie: It occurs to me that she uses her blog to get the Palins' attentions, hence all the "I'M TELLING ALL, AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME." followed by silence. Good trick, that. Hope it works out. Sorry we depended on her.

    Second, Britain: I've been living here for a bit, and I can tell you that the British are flummoxed about Palin (and most American decisive politics that cowtow to the lowest common denominator), and they are fascinated by her because she's a psychopath (seriously, look up Hare's checklist on the Wiki), but it doesn't actualize in outright loathing. They actually have their own problems to worry about, and loathing takes too much energy. The majority just think "she's a joke." They actually don't care that much about her.

    But, however, they don't "adore" Obama, either. They're lukewarm on him, much like the US independent electorate. Very wary, and they think he's actually too much like Bush II (whom they do not like).

    With Palin and Obama, it's not either/or. It's joke vs. pragmatism. One cannot be understood, the other is wait and see (from the UK perspective).

    Please don't ask about the brand new pick up trucks the dairy farmers drive or trips to Europe.

    Several people have mentioned the word "coffee" in several emails and wondered if it is a code word for drugs.

    It is.

    Coffee == LSD
    Coffee Cup == baggie for marijuana

    I think perhaps the coven was using the term "coffee" to refer to pot rather than LSD. The list I found, referenced below, may not be current.

    The entire list is at:

    Dear Mr ——-,

    Thank you for your message.

    I have no inside knowledge of this business to offer I am afraid and certainly am not in a position to make any kind of statement on Lady Thatcher’s behalf. I’m happy though to give you my personal view.

    The Guardian, of course, is not a newspaper at all sympathetic to Lady Thatcher (or to Mrs. Palin), so reports on this topic, from that source, have minimal credibility. If nothing else, would Lady Thatcher have ever described a prominent US conservative politician as ‘nuts’, or approved an ‘ally’ who used the description? I would hope that question answers itself.

    Of course, sadly, Lady Thatcher’s health is not good these days and such considerations naturally dominate her schedule. That much is true. Someone once said that if you plaster together the true and the false you thereby manufacture the plausible, but in this case I don’t think even that much has been achieved by the Guardian.

    On the ‘Malvinas’, the OAS never learns and the State Department endlessly seeks to curry favour with it for the sake of the a quiet life. The question is a closed one as far as we in Britain are concerned, as it is in the Falklands themselves where opinion is undivided.

    Best wishes,

  65. Oh, they'll find a U.S. distributor and much easier than The Undefeated.

    Can you so see these as a double feature?

    LOL!

    I think anybody who thinks they've found the major scoop in those emails that Ivy Frye was Sarah Palin's drug courier is just plain idiotic.

    PUH-leeze. Get real, would you?! The only drug they were talking about in those emails was caffeine.

    Do you really think the state of AK would have released it otherwise?!

    @e-mail from "Trig's Creator" 9:23 AM:

    highly doubtful she wrote that letter, since she doesnt write well;
    this could *easily* have been 'printed' after being received from an adoring-fan-email.

    which causes one to ponder: why did they only show *certain fan-adoring emails* as opposed to all of them.
    what did they do with the '1000's of congrats' emails.

    Can't wait to see this film! What wonderful entertainment value Sarah and her homeboys are!
    Yes, some dude dressed as Paul Revere will be firing warning shots and ringing bells to warn Palinista's that their cheerios will soon be pissed on.
    I love the fact that he's using people near and dear to her to point out how inanely insane she is.
    That picture's worth a thousand words!
    Thanks Sarah! The world will be pointing and laughing at you.

    Helen @ 4:07am, here is the "Safe Haven Bill" (HB 29, 25th Leg):

    http://www.legis.state.ak.us/basis/get_bill_text.asp?hsid=HB0029D&session=25

    It wasn't specifically designed for Trig because the bill was pre-filed on January 5, 2007 or about 9 months before Trig was conceived:

    For those keeping score at home: last week Sarah Palin scored 263,000,000 Google hits. In the last four weeks the score is 959,000,000, almost a billion.

    Keepup the ggod work.

    Despite the combined resources of the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the U.K's Guardian, they haven't even found a request from the library to return an overdue book.

    You're now left with two possibilities: there's no "there", there or she's just tooo damn smart for two of america's most influential newspapers to allowherself to be caught with her hand in the cookie jar.

    Check and checkmate.

    (By the way, despite the Paul Revere nonsense and the emails, they are emptying her pockets forher in Ohio. She's out muscling Mitt in donations.

    Yeah, I know; you've all got chaffed knees from being down on them so many hours a day praying she gets the nomination.
