How Hollywood conspires with the Pentagon

Season 1
•

Some of your favourite films have been rewritten by the Pentagon, the US Defence Department and the CIA. This isn't a conspiracy theory: as research by Bath University's Matthew Alford underlines, thousands of films and TV shows have received support from the US national security state over the last century in exchange for rewrites to eliminate criticisms of- or give glowing support to - the US military and US foreign policy goals. From Zero Dark Thirty to Hulk, from Terminator films to Contact to Homeland, this influence is everywhere - and part of a concerted propaganda effort to whitewash the true horrors committed in the name of US power.
