CNN Cancels Hillary Clinton Documentary
Some of Clinton's allies and her opponents weren't happy with the proposed project

In a lengthy piece published on the Huffington Post Web site Monday morning, Charles Ferguson, who was slated to direct the project, explained that he felt compelled to shelve it over opposition to the idea from both Clinton allies and opponents, which triggered a widespread lack of cooperation among potential interviewees.
