Muy buenas,

A film that has already changed opinions and minds…
by Jen Senko

"I endorse this film wholeheartedly. It gets to the heart of what is responsible for damaging the mental health of America."

Bandy Lee, M.D., M.Div. Editor of the NYT bestselling book The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump,
and Assistant Clinical Professor in Law and Psychiatry, Author of the textbook Violence.

Ms Senko’s groundbreaking film examines the rise of right-wing media through the lens of her father, whose immersion in its daily propaganda had radicalized him. His new fanaticism rocked the very foundation of their family. She discovered that this phenomenon was occurring with alarming frequency in living rooms across America. The film reveals the consequences that this radicalized media is having on people, families, America, and the world.

By watching and sharing this film as widely as you can, you will be helping to educate others about the dangers of these weaponized media platforms being operated by Fox News, Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh and many other bad actors who seek a more bellicose and “dumbed down” public that is constantly being told to be angry at everything - rarely understanding that the real objective is to steer them toward voting for far right issues and candidates.

The more people this film reaches, the less power they will have to do that. At the same same time, you’ll be contributing to Ms Senko’s next projects, all aimed at reforming our media and preventing this kind of propaganda in our society. We don’t just hope for you to watch and learn from this film. We hope for you to get others to watch and learn from it. And thank you for that.

Renting or buying the movie helps a lot. But arranging screenings and helping us get this message out matters too.

THE VAST RIGHT-WING CONSPIRACY, CULT-REPUBLICANS AND DONALD J. TRUMP: HOW THE HECK DID WE GET HERE?

As filmmaker, Jen Senko, tries to understand the transformation of her father from a non political, life-long Democrat to an angry, right-wing fanatic, she uncovers the forces behind the media that changed him completely: a plan by Roger Ailes under Nixon for a media takeover by the GOP, The Powell Memo urging business leaders to influence institutions of public opinion -especially the universities, the media and the courts, and under Reagan, the dismantling of the Fairness Doctrine, and The Telecommunications 'Reform' Act signed by Bill Clinton.

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 Boehlert, George Lakoff, Carol Wallin from STOP RUSH, HearYourselfThink, Claire Conner and others, “Brainwashing” unravels the plan to shift the country to the Right over the last 30 years, largely through media manipulation. The result has led to fewer voices, less diversity of opinion, massive intentional misinformation and greater division of our country.

This documentary shines a light on how it happened (and is still happening) and leads 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.
