Oliver Stone rolls out the Untold History of the US

[Wombaticus Rex]

Just curious -- my personal sense of Oliver Stone has been that he's been playing ball from the beginning of his career. I have never seen him as a maverick or truth-speaker, so much as a very typical Hollywood liberal, a cokehead with a conscience. (What's that really worth, though?)

I seem to ascertain another narrative emerging from that Cannonfire piece is that Stone has been "selling out" with these recent moves. Is there some history I'm missing out on?

This is worth watching start-to-finish if only for the footage Stone has been able to license. I think that he does a good job illustrating the narrative of the US security state, starting with what a traumatic and lucrative event WWII was.

Agreed. Have been watching on netflix. At a minimum it's a decent primer for the open minded but completely uninitiated.
