Former First Ladies : Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton

Always, the Netflix documentary about Michelle Obama , was one of the streaming site, the Top 10 movies when it was released a few weeks ago. Now , another American First Lady , Hillary Clinton, has her own docu-series - Hillary .

The four-hour show consisting of interviews of Clinton-documentary filmmaker Nanette Burstein , researched All of Hillary Rodham Clinton ' s life, from her activism in the 1960s, her marriage with ex-US President Bill Clinton , the Monica Lewinsky scandal and her unsuccessful attempt, the US President in the year 2016.

Hillary on the theory That the Next Generation of female executives galvanized were standing through their choice, and vote in the congressional elections of 2018; with a record 103 women, including activists such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, elected or re-elected to The House of representatives.

"I know, what I mean to a lot of women, I Hear it almost Every Day , someone will tell me," Clinton told Bbc News . "It is a heavy responsibility. "

"I tried to make My Own decisions in line with who I Am and what I stand for, but we still need Role Models , guides along the route," if anyone can do it, then I can do it " - this kind of mentality. I'm very aware of That . "

to encourage documents, the former First Lady Michelle Obama , the recent international book tour, as well as the encounter of young African-American women, you in your ambitions. According to The Film 's Director, Nadia Hallgren , she had seen "something, That is energy. "

"What is it That women seem to identify," adds Hallgren, "was just Her Stories told in them are not able to Do Something , or constantly the whole of life to be underestimated. This idea That , if you are A Woman , if you are not male, if you don't know, if you don't tick All of those boxes, That you not belong to the table.

"I think That there is a great need and hunger in The World for stories like yours. Listen to Mrs. Obama talk about the obstacles they encountered, to reflect in your entire life, and in the situation That taught me so much about My Own life and the obstacles That I encountered. "

Nanette Burstein , The Director of Hillary , agrees That the visibility of the former First Ladies is important, "especially for the young".

"When I was in my 20s, and want to be a Director, Secretary Clinton was as First Lady - and a very different first wife, one of the important initiatives in the health sector. To me, as a Young Woman , That was very inspiring and life-changing.

"One of the reasons why I said That I would be against this story is so That people understand what it means for a Young Woman . "

"It is also joyful, That both of these" former First Lady "films by women," emphasized Mia Bays , The Director of the Birds Eye view, a not-for-profit organization That focuses on The Female perspective in The Film .

"I Always think in particular, helps us to reflect on why Michelle Obama is to lift such an inspiring Figure and is necessary for The World , Even Higher , especially right Now . "

Michelle Obama has a very successful reading tour

in contrast, for women, Hillary Clinton, has historically been a rather ambiguous Figure in the year 2016 seen, the Edison National election survey showed That , although overall 52% of women, had the voters elected Clinton, 64% of non-college educated white women had voted in favour of Donald Trump .

Clinton says she is aware of the aversion That it provokes.

"It's nice to be liked, but if That 's not All , what you want, they are there for The Right reasons. There are scenes in this movie That I had forgotten.

"I'm fighting for health care, and the people burned my effigy. The people really riled up about it, she liked me and didn't like what I did. Often, if you don't like it, because you have to take a stand.

Hillary Clinton says women still need positive encouragement in Leadership

"If A Woman takes a public stand in a controversial arena, you just have to Be Prepared That you will be criticized and if you are not ready, then don't do it," she says. "I Am very proud of The Work I have done and The Stands I took, and I have no regrets about it. "

Clinton agrees That The Documentary is a kind of "setting the record straight".

"There is so much misinformation about me, to have so many ridiculous stories about me, My Life portrayed in a way That I recognize, is a good Step Forward ," she speaks.

But this kind of documentaries can be impartial always? Always company was of "the Obama's" production-Higher Ground . While Hillary was granted, 35 hours of interviews with Clinton, so Burstein was ever in the position to be critical?

'you never can.

rest""I understood That I criticized, as I have shown, this story," Nanette Burstein answers"I knew no matter what I did to it the criticism would potentially. So I realized That I only needed to research as much as I could, and as honestly as I could. "

Clinton insists That women must continue to be a positive encouragement in Leadership - whether in the media, in industry or in politics.

"I think telling my story, you will be able to see, change a lot, but you can see how shy he is and how much room there is," she says.

"you can never rest, and it is exhausting, to be honest. It's like, 'wait a minute, we knocked down the barrier and we repealed the Law - why is this still so hard?' To appreciate why the people still respect The Role and the possibilities of the women?

"So, you know, the fight goes on. "

All of the consequences of Hillary 's available from 11. June on Sky documentary streaming service NowTV. Always available, on Netflix .
