american dharma - 2018 - errol morris
i love morris but sheesh. so much potential wasted. morris basically lets bannon direct the documentary, and fails to ask obvious questions or push back on contradictions in bannon's worldview. (for example, in what sense is bannon - a former investment banker - promoting anything like 'economic populism'? total bs and not credible) still worth seeing, i guess, if only to replay how bannon and breitbart smashed hilary and elevated trump into presidential office.
I can't bring myself to watch this, basically for the reasons you outlined in the first half of this post. It was pretty depressing seeing Errol on Twitter talking about free speech/political correctness & why this film didn't get distribution
