G Apr 3 If conservatives were able to “brainwash” so many people via AM radio and FOX NEWS, imagine how successful they would be if they had control of CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, PBS, New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Hollywood, Netflix, virtually ALL of our social media platforms, and our ENTIRE education system, Kindergarten through College. What’s really funny about this movie though, is that the only real brainwashing that occurs is at the end when she subscribes him to actual liberal propaganda and, like that scene in A Clockwork Orange, forces him to watch CNN and MSNBC …until he dies a “happy” and ACTUALLY brainwashed liberal.

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.

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. See more Aaron R @MaineMaestro 10/05/2023 Title is extremely misleading. Premise is never realized: there's about 2 minutes of the director's father actually in the documentary. Terribly disappointing. See more Jarrod H @RT37371475 07/19/2023 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. See more Read all reviews
