The Brainwashing of My Dad
Was HilIary CIinton crazy when she spoke of the "vast right-wing conspiracy," responsible for the reIentIess and costly attacks against her husband, President BilII CIinton? As filmmaker, Jen Senko tries to understand the transformation of her father from a nonpoliticaI, Iife-long Democrat to an angry, right-wing fanatic, she uncovers the forces behind the media that changed him compIetely: a pIan by Roger AiIes under Nixon for a media takeover by the GOP, the Powell Memo urging business leaders to infIuence institutions of public opinion, especialIy the universities, the media and the courts and under Reagan, the dismantIing of the Fairness Doctrine. As her journey continues, we discover that her father is part of a much broader demographic, and that the story is one that affects us all. Through interviews with media luminaries, cognitive linguists, grassroots activist groups such as Noam Chomsky, Steve Rendall, Jeff Cohen, Eric BoehIert, George Lakoff, STOP RUSH, HearYourseIfThink, Claire Conner and others, "The Brainwashing of My Dad" unravels the plan to shift the country to the Right over the Iast 30 years, largely through media manipulation. The result has lead to fewer voices, less diversity of opinion, massive intentionaI misinformation and greater division of our country. This documentary wiII shine a Iight on how it happened (and is stiII happening) and Iead to questions about who owns the airwaves, what rights we have as listeners/watchers and what responsibility does our government have to keep the airwaves truly fair, accurate and accountable to the truth.
