Bachman hits the silver screen

GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann will be the subject of a new documentary. The 6th District Republican will be the focus of a documentary that examines three conservative Congresswoman from "the heartland." The film also focuses on a "reawakening of conservative women."

The documentary is produced by Citizens United, the group that won a U.S. Supreme Court challenge that allowed businesses to spend corporate money on politics (but not give to candidates directly).

Slate's David Wiegel says the film will be released next Wednesday.

Here's the trailer for the documentary.
