Guest Post by Mark Crispin Miller
This powerful documentary demands that we all take a deeper look into that propaganda masterpiece (along with all the others that have put us where we are today)
My thanks to Celia Farber for her post last night, about The Fall of Minneapolis, a must-see documentary on the George Floyd moment, and for her prior post of Maryam Henein’s in-depth report on the recent prison stabbing of Derek Chauvin by an FBI informant.
I put that last phrase in italics to accentuate the federal aspect of that catastrophic moment—a crucial aspect that this documentary treats passingly, as it deals mainly with the disgraceful role played by (a) the Democratic politicians and officials who immediately demonized the Minneapolis police, and variously ran the show trial afterward, and (b) the “journalists” who baldly misreported everything from Floyd’s arrest to the jury’s guilty verdicts.
