I wish he (or someone else) had made a shorter more well researched and defendable movie on the same topic. I can't seem to get myself to watch that whole thing.
I've watched it in its entirety and have fact checked everything that wasn't opinion or eluding to a possible truth. Not sure what you've found to be unture? Care to share?
The quote from Rothschild was the first thing that got me fact checking. Of course controlling the money is more power than being the elected leader... but there is no source - I don't believe the Rothschilds ever said the quote, or if they did it was scrubbed from history because there is no credible source. The person who is claimed to have said it (as shown in his movie) wasn't even alive in World War I, he died in the 1800s, but the movie at that point leads you to believe otherwise. So that kind of pissed me off and led me to feel like I was being deceived and indoctrinated rather than being educated. I totally believe the JFK assassination was multiple shooters arranged by powerful people and the CIA was somehow involved. But I don't conclude precisely who or why because I haven't dug that deep. Maybe this movie could give me more info, but it's hard to watch when I already don't trust it.
OK I'm watching it again. It does have a lot of truthful information in there. Lots of other things I'm checking on check out as true and there's a hell of a lot of info in this movie. If most of it is true, and it weaves a narrative to an interesting conclusion, it is worth suffering through a few poorly sourced bits.
