I also recommend the Chapo ep wherein they rip this movie to shreds with The West Wing Thing as guests.

Well I was there at the time and I think this country would be far better off if people knew the story. That’s what’s important in my mind. We’re repeating something right now.

It’s just really upsetting how so many parts of the story were changed to better fit some narrative that doesn’t serve the activists who stood against the corruption, but serves the overall corruption. It’s whitewashed. I hope it inspires people to really research the trial.

I read the articles about the parts that were true and the parts that weren’t true, but the movie isn’t a documentary! None of the criticisms undercut the importance of the story being told or what people need to realize now.

The story is important and needs to be told. I hope it wakes more people up to the parallel moment and doesn’t lull them back to sleep. Sorkin’s audiences love to go back to sleep. I agree with you—we’re repeating something. I hope we can break through.
