So my girlfriend and I a lot and do a lot of writing. On the weekends we like to veg out in front of the TV. Lately, she's been getting two documentaries a week from netflix. The topics are a wide variety, from Cesar Chavez, the moving of the Brooklyn Dodgers, civil strife in Liberia, the end of South African apartheid, U.S. hegemony and Latin America, the Nike swoosh and marketing, religion in American society, and the list goes on. Since May we've watched roughly 35 documentaries.
In most of these, they are well-done, well-researched, and insightful. Though we don't necessarily agree with all of the claims made in these films.
I noticed that every documentary we've watched, all are from a liberal perspective. I told my girlfriend that it'd be good to see what a conservative documentary looks like from a conservative perspective particularly the information and research put into such a documentary.
So she found one on netflix entitled "I Want Your Money." It was by far the worst documentary we've watched. Very little 'facts' were presented in the movie. Mostly it focused on Obama and Bill and Hilary Clinton that amounted to polemics, and they movie maker took liberties with Ronald Reagan's terms as POTUS. Very little information was cited, if any at all. It was done on a third grade level.
Certainly there are some better documentaries from the conservative perspective. Can anyone recommend a title?
Also, I've come to expect all kinds of insults about my supposed membership in certain political parties, given that this is what message board forums are all about. That's fine, but for the record, I really hate all politicians and political parties.
I haven't watched as many documentaries as you, but I can't recall seeing one that did not have a political bias. In fact, a significant number of non documentaries have a political bias with most of them bashing white males or the establishment in some way.
I watch movies to be entertained. I don't care about the political thoughts of the idiots like Michael Moore in Hollywood.
But to answer your question, maybe it's because there are very few conservatives in the movie business.
