This documentary is depressing and enlightening all at the same time. Depressing because you realize the tragedies of the world, how bad consequences come from bad actions, how otherwise well meaning people can get their name twisted and lied to in the media to convert an entire nation to an untruthful narrative. Enlightening because you are shown the truth. It is literally laid in front of you on the screen, without apology. You realize just how much you were lied to, and the effort that went into that lie.
My question after watching this is why... Just... WHY can't the media care about the truth anymore? Why is it about narratives? Why is it about a money grab. Why do we need to rely on small market journalism like the Daily Wire to get truthful information about what is happening in the world?
If anything, this documentary reveals the greed of the media and political activist organizations, and it shows the lives of people they ruin to feed their greed.

Truth is difficult for people when it fails to fit into their belief system. Truth in the midst of propaganda in hard to decipher. Candace Owens delivers an insightful, well researched documentary. There is not one single false narrative in this film. This will be a hard watch for the "poor me" victims that plague the left side of life and politics. George Floyd lived a hard life, he created that. Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, Jackie Robinson are no doubt wondering how this man has become the face of social injustice and proposed harmony. It's a disheartening mess that too many uninformed citizens have swallowed whole. Peace and love brothers and sisters.

For the record, I am a white male living in Europe, very disconnected from the reality of American life, so I can merely comment on this from my own hearth, take it as you want.
From the social media, I would get a lot of footage of various acts of police brutality in America, but i always knew that would be very rare incidents that get viral. Not a fan of police, emotionally, I would always find myself feeling sympathy to the victims.
Couldn't feel the same about this one though. It didn't pop up on my feed, It was being showed down my throat continuously. What a massive marketing propaganda that was/is...
I expected right wing bias, i got objective commentary. Not a fan of Candace, but this felt like a proper journalism. Not much of a stuff these days feel like it.
WORTH a watch, make your own mind after note: some people are saying nothing new is revealed here, well, they are BLM experts apparently, if you are not (as I am not) educate yourself on the matter from the other side. What harm is in that?

I never thought I would see the day that one of my comments would be removed. I posted before about how much I liked this documentary, but mysteriously my last review was deleted without any notification about when or why it was taken down.
So I guess I will just say what I said before. This documentary is very simple. All Candace does is ask questions and the hostile reactions she is getting is telling. This documentary does not spread any hate it only seeks to find answers. Judge for yourself whether this is worth something. And if this post gets taken down again I guess we know that someone truly is trying to censor certain reviews. And in that case I will just write another review.

This documentary was extremely educational. Hilarious what the 7 year old said "So they think the police made a mistake and that's why they are taking things from Target?" LOL Amazing. It's funny what mob mentality makes people do. It's definitely a documentary not just about what BLM did the millions they received (spoiler: nothing to actually help black people), but also human psychology and the effect that the media has on all of us. Patrisse Cullors needs to be investigated for money laundering, at a minimum. I don't know what else to call purchasing a home for 3 million and selling it to the organization that you founded for 6 million. In the end, it seems the money mostly went to herself, her family, and her friends. Oh, and the trans activists too - because nothing says Black Lives Matter more than donating to trans rights organizations - who knew?! LOL 🤦♀️
