- TriviaThe documentary's near non existent interviews with "talking head" pays homage to The World at War, the famed British television series that emphasized narration and archival footage instead of the usual interviews with officials retelling the story. This allows for the audience to follow the story without it getting ahead of them.
- ConnectionsReferenced in Harmontown: Jim Belushi's Basement (2013)
Featured review
There is a lot of things Americans don't know, but when it comes to history, we look even worse.
Oliver Stone has teamed up with Kuznick to tell us the history of the United States, the UNTOLD history. By which Stone means the history that was once known and reported but isn't taught in schools today.
I have seen 5 Parts, or Chapters, as Stone calls them, and I must say Im very impressed. Sometimes it sounds a little too Soviet-friendly, but all in all pretty fair. And the acts that are presented can NOT be disputed. Thats the most important thing. So that people who don't agree with Stone can make up their own mind, like I did in some cases.
I must say though, its not easy entertainment. Its pure informations for 60 Minutes. I had to pause the show once in a while so I could focus again.
I just saw Chapter 5 (Eisenhowers time) and there were a lot of things that I didn't know. I knew the CIA had overthrown a few Gouvernments and installed some puppets, but I didn't know that there were so many.
