Audience Member good historical doc yep it's Monday, doc day! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Well articulated, and it is an interesting watch if you like history from another perspective, but one must know the erroneous ideologue characteristics of Zinn before taking it as completely serious history. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I appreciate Zinn and his work but it's outdated now as a separate, special thing. It's conflict history. You're not going to hear about George Carver in here. Maybe it's still a failure in public schools to teach these things, but in college it's not. I'm a history major and know about everything mentioned. It's standard. The examination of American Indians was glossed over. The WWII section is very biased. The readings are ok. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I -heart- Howard Zinn. He's a big sweetie :) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Couldn't get into this, found it too slow and uninteresting. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting idea but this movie was so boring. It wasn't a good documentary.
