mark h It’s absolutely wild to Me the filmmaker does not once contemplate their premise may be incorrect- perhaps she should look herself in the mirror and ponder if it is not she herself that has been brainwashed Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/07/25 Full Review Leanne T This 2015 documentary does an outstanding job of tracing the corrosive effects of right wing talk radio and Fox News. The subject is pursued on multiple levels ranging from family accounts to interviews with media experts. If you’re wondering what has caused the rising polarization and bitterness gripping America, this film offers great insight. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Mrs S Isolated, disenfranchised individuals who only watch FOX News or listen to talk radio hosts whose facts are supported by anger and hate are as much a part of this documentary as the Dad profiled at the beginning and honored at the end. The facts presented frustrated and upset me, but only because I know it’s difficult to change the minds of people who get their facts from FOX and talk radio. It did give me hope when I watched the Dad change when he started reading news from different sources. When he was ill, his wife went in and cleaned up his emails. She unsubscribed him from the angry, one sided emails, and subscribed him to more balanced and fair news. He became a changed man - like the gentle, logical, affable man his daughter and wife loved and remembered. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/06/24 Full Review Aaron R Title is extremely misleading. Premise is never realized: there's about 2 minutes of the director's father actually in the documentary. Terribly disappointing. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/23 Full Review Jarrod H This movie is a must-watch regardless of which side of the political spectrum you reside. With multiple sources sited & interviewed, facts are presented that many do not know or choose to acknowledge. Do yourself a favor & view this informative documentary. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/23 Full Review Denise F This documentary brought me peace in knowing I'm not alone. I highly recommend watching it.
