Indivisible: Healing Hate

Pretty good. Sadly my family went through this once they started watching Fox News and started believing what they saw. I wish they would watch this, so they could see how they come across. The rating are misleading, if you review the 1 Star ratings you will see one gave the Thanksgiving Day Parade 1 Star for not representing enough "Christian Values." The documentary Day of Rage: How Trump Supporters Took the U. S. Capitol, has much higher ratings, but is the same subject matter.

Yes the imagery of January 6th implies that Trump was behind everything. But the rest of the reviews here are obviously written by people who stopped watching after that. There is plenty here for conservatives to cheer about. The FBI comes off looking dreadful at Ruby Ridge and Waco. The media is seen to over-reach and mislead. Even Timothy McVeigh is portrayed as having been disillusioned by a government that betrayed him, albeit with terrifying results. It is definitely worth a watch wherever your politics lie. Hollywood will bend the facts so that the nuance is anti right. But if you think they got away with it this documentary you weren't paying attention.

It is a shame that on a site whose purpose is to review and rate a film for its execution many people by the rating at present and reviews are giving it a thumbs down because they do not like the content and message that it draws as a conclusion.

For me the episodes show a linear timeline exposing the deep divisions amongst us an American people that is clearly escalating.

Democracy as an institution only survives if we believe in a majority rule. The inability of many Americans to accept this principle shows up in our everyday life every day. And now has even seeped into this user review section of IMDB.

Just the opening statement was a turn off "our Democracy" knowing history and being very well read I know that the United States is a Constitutional Republic. Perhaps others haven't read the "Records of the Federal Convention of 1787". My second issue is that in referring to the Jan 6th incident the narrator failed to mention that the violent attack started at 12:20. The people there for the rally with Trump were still in the park 22 blocks away. There was a failure to mention that as many as 100-200 FBI, BLM, and Antifa member. Some were among those that arrived before the event ended at the park. Some were dispersed throughout the crowd that arrived after the rally ended.

I don't write reviews normally. I wanted to like this, to understand how someone ends up in a hate group, but where are the far right groups? We can't heal any divide by pointing out that one side hates. Hatred is awake and well on both ends of the political spectrum. Maybe someone could take an honest look at how we got here, and open a dialogue instead of pointing fingers.

There are parts of this documentary that are insightful. To listen to people who were members of hate groups speak of how they became a part of the group was helpful. We are all swayed by the company we keep, and the mob mentally can be deadly.

5 stars for telling half the story.
