The Undefeated (2011 film)

The Undefeated is an American political documentary on Sarah Palin, who was Governor of Alaska and later the Republican Party nominee for vice president in the 2008 United States presidential election. The documentary is written and directed by Stephen Bannon. The Undefeated was released on July, 2011.

Stephen Bannon wrote and directed The Undefeated, which was independently financed by Victory Film Group. Sarah Palin was familiar with Bannon because of his Tea Party documentary Generation Zero. After the United States elections in November of 2010, when the Republican Party increased their seats in Congress, Palin asked her aide, Rebecca Mansour, to contact Bannon about creating a series of videos to explain Palins stepping down as Governor of Alaska and to protect her legacy to set up for a potential campaign for the 2012 United States presidential election. Bannon instead decided to produce a feature film about Sarah Palin and providedmillion of his own financing. For the documentary, he interviewed Palins supporters, including Alaskan residents and conservative bloggers like Andrew Breitbart. While Sarah Palin and her team were not part of the production, they gave Bannons documentary their blessing. Bannon bought audio rights to Palins book Going Rogue so he could include clips of Palins voice in the documentary. While he considered titling the documentary Take a Stand after Palins campaign slogan during the 2006 Alaska gubernatorial election, he chose The Undefeated as a more triumphant title.Wes Little of CNN describes some of the imagery in the film Clockwork Orangeesque evocative images sprinkled throughout shark attacks, bodies being buried, warfare both modern and ancient. ........
