‘Hillary’ examines the life, career of polarizing figure
Also, ‘Empire’ returns for its final run, and ‘Dispatches From Elsewhere’ debuts
DON’T MISS >> “Hillary” — Deftly directed by Nanette Burstein, this captivating four-part documentary series offers a thorough examination of the life and 2016 presi- dential campaign of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Burstein drew from 35 hours of oneon-one interviews with her subject, 1,700 hours of campaign footage and a wealth of archival materials to produce an extraordinarily intimate portrait of a public figure. Also featuring interviews with Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, friends, journalists and politicians from both sides of the aisle, the series examines how she became at once one of “the most admired and vilified women in the world.” (Friday, Hulu)
