The Untold History of the United States [Blu-ray]

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

Oliver Stone’s re-examination of under-reported events in American history.

“History is a lie agreed upon…History is written by the elite and the winners of War”. These often quoted phrases or variations thereof (as just stated) is what is at the heart of this riveting and deep dissension piece.

The “facts” or the “truth” can often times be opinions or guesses, as pointed out by the series, there is much we aren’t readily aware of because of the, willful or not, misconstrued presentation of events. What is routinely accepted as the “way things were” is forever tainted, misinformation, disinformation, myth-information, slanted, withheld, covered-up, politically correct, unknown, and simply much of it is ethnocentric to say the least.

What’s refreshing in this 10 hour mini-series is that it can inspire inquiry and rebooted thought. Not revisionism, but a re-visitation and educational path toward illumination and possibly in some cases enlightenment. There never is one side to any story and reflection, curiosity, and interest in events that shaped our world can never be a bad thing. Except, maybe, for those who benefit from the status quo.
