I think you're referring to the ethics violations that were reported against her after her VP run. Those were mostly brought on by bitter Libs looking to take her down (and one of them admitted it, too). The ethics investigation against her was brought on by Walt Monegan's dismissal and the results were published in the Branchflower Report (http://download2.legis.state.ak.us/DOWNLOAD.pdf).
The film discussed the stresses of the personal attacks, including the insane conspiracy theory that her son Trig isn't even her son. Bristol's pregnancy was part of the news during the campaign, too.
Palin talked about abstinence education on the campaign trail. There's also this from the L.A. Times, 9/6/08: In a widely quoted 2006 survey she answered during her gubernatorial campaign, Palin said she supported abstinence-until-marriage programs. But weeks later, she proclaimed herself "pro-contraception" and said condoms ought to be discussed in schools alongside abstinence.
"I'm pro-contraception, and I think kids who may not hear about it at home should hear about it in other avenues," she said during a debate in Juneau.
When pressed about it during press interviews, Palin acknowledged her support of abstinence education.
What conflict? It's no secret people saw it as hypocritical for a woman who'd backed abstinence-only sex education to have unsuccessfully executed that policy in her own home. I'm not saying I'm agreeing with that observation as kids aren't around their parents 24/7 but you asked about the conflict, and there's the answer.
