Sarah Palin documentary snapped up by ReelzChannel

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- A documentary on Sarah Palin will have its TV debut on ReelzChannel, the digital cable network announced.

"The Undefeated," which chronicles the former Alaska governor's career, will premiere March 11 -- one night after HBO shows the film "Game Change," which sees Julianne Moore portray Palin during her run as vice president in 2008.

"We're thrilled to have yet another opportunity to bring a big story to viewers," ReelzChannel CEO Stan E. Hubbard said in a statement cited Tuesday by The Hollywood Reporter. "Sarah Palin is a charismatic figure who burst onto the political scene, and whatever your leanings, if you have any interest or curiosity in politics, social change or the Sarah Palin phenomenon, this is a must-see movie."

Sarah and Todd Palin make their way to the Pella Opera House for the premiere of "The Undefeated."

"Game Change" director Stephen K. Bannon said it was a courageous decision to show the documentary the same weekend as "Game Change," which is based on Mark Halperin and John Heilemann's book about John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign.
