Published 10/7/2008 by Karina Longworth at SpoutBlog
Crawford, David Modigliani’s documentary about George W. Bush’s adopted home town, becomes available today for free streaming on Hulu, with downloads to come via Amazon VOD and iTunes. Hulu is billing this as their first movie premiere, which hopefully is an indication that the site, a co-venture of super-mainstream media companies NBC and Fox, are prepared to showcase additional films straight off the festival circuit in the future.

Hulu is out with its first movie premiere: Crawford, a documentary about the Texas town in which Bush "lives." It's a great piece of work -- a short, sad, clear-headed, impartial look at how the sentiments of a small town are italicized by the residency of a sitting president.
