Films and TV shows often expose subjects ignored or dismissed in other media. Al Gore’s 2006 documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” helped make Climate Change a top-tier issue in the minds of many.
The 2013 documentary “Blackfish” resulted in SeaWorld dramatically changing its policies.
Shows like “Will & Grace” and “Modern Family” let viewers acclimate to gay marriage in ways that a thousand op-ed pieces couldn’t.
Now, it’s time for a filmmaker or movie studio to step forward and create the definitive Crossfire Hurricane documentary.
Except Hollywood, Inc. will do no such thing.
[It’s worse than that. You can bet your bottom dollar that Hollywood will make a documentary that will insist that Russia-collusion was no hoax and that the Durham report was a corrupt effort to hoodwink the electorate. If such a film never hits the theater, bank on it appearing on HBO, Showtime, Netflix, or Prime. — Ed]
