Soros, Abedin... what famous politician has ties to those two? Ah, yes, it's the Presidential candidate whom a majority of Democratic voters believe should still run for the office even if she's indicted by the FBI...

The most important thing you need to know about the documentary Weiner doesn’t come until the very end, in the movie’s credits: it was financed in part with a grant from the George Soros-funded Open Society Institute.

...

Knowing that the film was paid for by one of Hillary Clinton’s biggest boosters explains another thing you need to know about the movie: Audiences are supposed to think that Anthony Weiner is a flawed and sometimes pathetic, often comical politician who nonetheless is a real fighter on important issues such as helping the middle class. They are also supposed to think that his wife, top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin, is a brilliant, beautiful political insider who was done wrong by Anthony Weiner.

The point of the movie and the apparent reason for the funding seems to be to give Anthony Weiner a future in TV punditry and to give Huma Abedin a future in politics.

To accomplish that goal, Weiner is myth-making of a high order. As I said to the filmmakers during the Q&A session following a Sunday night screening in Salt Lake City, by default this film becomes the official telling of the story.

The film starts playing on Showtime sometime later this year and then will live on forever online and on services like Netflix. So unless another film comes along to tell the counter narrative, the Soros-funded filmmakers version of the Weiner sext scandals could become the enduring myth.

Taken on those terms, Weiner is a brilliant piece of filmmaking.
