Synopsis
He’s a loving father who once ignored the world of politics—so how did he become such a devout, right-wing conservative? Director, producer, and narrator Jen Senko explores the evolution of modern media to answer this question about her father. But it isn’t only her father—it’s happened to families everywhere. Listen to professors, writers, and ordinary citizens who comment on the construct of our media and the dangers of persuasive and insidious techniques. Senko delivers a potent commentary on the consequences of conservative media and her father’s brainwashing that radicalized his view and divided a nation. – Kadie Sutherland
