 If you can find Oliver Stone's untold history of the United States. Watch it when you get a chance. It's great. When you watch that up till the Korean war and stop. Then watch world war II in color. Go back to Oliver Stone. Watch through Vietnam, and then go back and watch the Netflix Vietnam series. Then you go and watch the Oliver Stone documentary to completion and you can see the immense amount of policy failures done at the federal level and it is terrifying and interesting at the same time. It's just a lot of work to do all three movies like that. I just have a short memory 
 I think I’ve seen it but can’t recall the details 😂 

Welp, now I have something else to watch! Thanks 
 If you can remember when you're done let me know what you think.

It's really interesting to see the policy objectives from early century play through and see the impact on late century foreign policy through the actual lense instead of just a history book. 

If I could combine all three of those into a series I would in a heart beat and make it required watching along with a The Creature from Jekyll Island being required reading
