A Documentary that Made Me Weep.

Documentary Series: Final Account (2020). I waver at times with this Godwin thing, but one thing that's is clear in this film:

They started with the minds of the children, notably with the schools.

Perhaps we are well past "It can't happen here."

This is about what the attempt to burn books, control what children learn of history, "replacement theory" is intended.

The people in this film were or almost were in their 90's when filmed.

They knew.

I am pleased to consider that at least one of those interviewed is probably no longer breathing the same air I'm breathing.



I watched the film with a two strangers, one a librarian. After it we all felt compelled to comment on Texas and on Buffalo.
