All Governments Lie: Truth, Deception, and the Spirit of I.F. Stone
Useful survey of the left media but the notion of I.F. Stone having something in common with millionaire blue-dog Democrat Michael Moore is patently absurd.
Peabody creates a briskly paced doc that cleverly uses interviews and archive footage in order to distill this complex subject into an easily digestible viewing experience.
Riffing off the great independent newsman I.F. Stone's famous statement "All governments lie," Peabody connects with an array of impressive indie journalists who are filling in the gaps left by a pandering mainstream media.
Let's face it: Reality is getting too strange for filmmakers to keep up. That said, All Governments Lie does offer an important cautionary point in the midst of Trump's increasingly authoritarian presidency.
It lucidly argues that powerful interests have been creating supercharged fake stories for decades to advance their own nefarious interests. And the institutional media have too often blithely played along.
Featuring footage from the last six decades, "All Governments Lie" is a timely, convincing documentary that will cause audiences to question what they see and read.
In an era of disaster- and celebrity-obsessed cable news, during an election testing the virtues of objectivity, the documentary All Governments Lie is worthy testimony that many journalists are in it for the truth.
