''The Clinton Chronicles: An Investigation into the Alleged Criminal Activities of Bill Clinton'' is a 1994 film that accused Bill Clinton of a range of crimes. The video, directed by conservative activist Patrick Matrisciana, was characterized by ''The Washington Post'' as a "bizarre and unsubstantiated documentary." ''The New York Times'' reported that it was a poorly documented "hodgepodge of sometimes-crazed charges." It helped perpetuate a conspiracy theory known as the "Clinton Body Count" about a list of associates Clinton was purported to have had killed.〔 The deaths listed in the film have largely been discredited due to deliberate bias, weak circumstantial evidence, and coincidence. The film was produced by Citizens for Honest Government, a project of a Westminster, California organization named Creative Ministries Inc., partially funded by Larry Nichols, a long-time Clinton opponent, and distributed with help from the Rev. Jerry Falwell, who also appears in the film.〔 Over 300,000 copies of the film were put into circulation.〔 To promote the film, Falwell aired an interview with Matrisciana, who was silhouetted to conceal his identity as he pretended to be a journalist who was afraid for his life. Matrisciana later acknowledged that he was not in any danger, but that the interview was staged for dramatic effect at Falwell's suggestion.〔 ==See also== *Whitewater controversy *Arkansas Project *The Hunting of the President *"Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy" *Citizens United (organization) *David Bossie *Floyd Brown *David Hale *James D.
