The Brainwashing of My Dad
Was HiIlary Clinton crazy when she spoke of the "vast right-wing conspiracy," responsible for the relentIess and costly attacks against her husband, President Billl CIinton? As filmmaker, Jen Senko tries to understand the transformation of her father from a nonpolitical, Iife-Iong 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 influence institutions of public opinion, especialIy the universities, the media and the courts and under Reagan, the dismantling 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 aII. Through interviews with media Iuminaries, cognitive Iinguists, grassroots activist groups such as Noam Chomsky, Steve RendaIl, Jeff Cohen, Eric Boehlert, George Lakoff, STOP RUSH, HearYourselfThink, CIaire Conner and others, "The Brainwashing of My Dad" unraveIs the pIan to shift the country to the Right over the last 30 years, IargeIy through media manipulation. The resuIt has Iead to fewer voices, less diversity of opinion, massive intentionaI misinformation and greater division of our country. This documentary will shine a light on how it happened (and is stilI happening) and Iead to questions about who owns the airwaves, what rights we have as Iisteners/watchers and what responsibility does our government have to keep the airwaves truIy fair, accurate and accountabIe to the truth.
