The personal story of filmmaker Jen Senko's dad is a cautionary tale many of us can relate to. And it's directly related - we learn - to the disinformation coming from the Right Wing media that has driven so much political acrimony in this country. In fact, the fanatical political divisions in the US are the same ones that divide families on a personal level. By following the thread of American politics and how it relates to the rise of the Right Wing media, Senko builds a solid case. We learn how and why all of this came about.
There have been other films that examined the subject of the Right Wing Media and its negative effects on democracy, but they tend to be dry treatises.
This should be required viewing for anyone who cares about a free and informative media in this country. An important film. And an entertaining one!
