“I stumbled upon this by mere coincidence during channel surfing PBS Thanks-Giving morning.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBeing politically aware, I already knew most of what this production entails. However, it didnu0026#39;t take away from the sick feeling I felt in the pit of my stomach – the opposite. It confirmed everything and brought it home in full color, no filters. Things you wonu0026#39;t see on American news outlets. Theyu0026#39;d rather report on The Kardashians and American Idol than show you whatu0026#39;s going on in the world. Itu0026#39;s part of the dumbing down and conditioning of the American populace.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSince this goes back in time and ends in todayu0026#39;s world, it is sure to offend people on both sides of the political spectrum. Which is why you see 1 star reviews criticizing this production.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;m beyond that, having left u0026quot;myu0026quot; party last year. To me, itu0026#39;s two sides of the same coin which is another truth you get out of watching this.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt was available for free streaming online on the PBS website, until… today. Wow. I wonder why it was taken down… Not.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnyway, watch it. And then be honest with yourself.”
