This is a massively important film that I encourage everyone to watch. Knowing the facts and the history contained in this extremely well-researched documentary, which analyzes the media and politics from 1959 to the present, is the only way we are going to recover from the disinformation, lies, and propaganda perpetuated by the so-called news media and which has resulted in the erosion of our national institutions.
I think the title of the film is slightly misleading. Although the filmmaker's father serves as a jumping-off point for her investigative research and analysis, the film as a whole covers so much more, and so many experts are called in to provide their input and fact-based statistics and historical context, that one would be mistaken to think that the film is only a personal journey involving one person's family. What the film covers is so much broader and more important than that, and the documentary is right up there with a Frontline exposé or better.
Please take the time to watch it. You will be fascinated, mesmerized, and truly educated.
I particularly recommend this film for anyone in, or contemplating getting into, politics or journalism.
