True, but it's VERY different from what Leni Reifenstahl put out.

Leni's films were to glorify and mythifying; this Netflix crap is the antithesis of that; as far as I can tell, sans actually watching it.

It is pushing an agenda of a stronger government which is what Leni films do.

There's "propaganda" and then there is something sort of propaganda; which should be called something else.

As I clearly stated, Leni's films are up lifting, mythifying, raising up of a group.

"ADOLESCENCE" smears and distorts a certain group. It is much closer to Russian book "THE PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION", which smears, ridicules, and lies about ALL Jews EVERYWHERE and was loved by the likes of Henry Ford, Edison, and Woodrow Wilson, amongst others.

Except for the fact that BIRTH OF A NATION was part fact and a lot of fiction, THAT film is a closer comparison with THE TRIUMPH OF THE WILL.

And NO, I am NOT nitpicking; I'm attempting to give a more accurate view of it all.

I thought the big message was when the mother says to the father that we created the killer son. It implied that white people have a murder gene. A little different than the real killer who was a Muslim boy raised to believe that white women are worthless whores.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

That stupid Netflix series is NOT about Government, nor even race ( since they changed that ); you're trying to be far too clever by 1/2 and failing!

Just drop it; the more you post, trying to prove your opinion, the worse to look. When digging yourself into a hole, STOP, before you disappear deep into a gigantic one.

Okay, I have the for REAL inside poop on what this thread is REALLY about! I had a suspicion, but did NOT want to post THAT, because it was ONLY an "educated guess" on my part, which has now turned out to be 100% correct!

This interview and berating session took place on the once vaunted, wonderful, BBC, which has now turned into a combination of CNN/MSNBC/NPR and far worse, losing audience and what's wore, to them, the fees that every household in the UK MUST pay to THEM, in order to watch that channel.

So though the BEEB is NOT now showing this stupid Netflix garbage, they are hoping that because they are "fighting FOR this particular series" AND attempting to embarrass and smear a member of the Conservative party, at the same time, that Netflix will, at some future time, sell THEM the sole release/showing of some of their series. And there you have it! These ARE the facts, that I learned from an extremely well informed INSIDER.

Why are they planning on showing the series in Britain’s schools?

Like so many “true crime” dramas, it takes an actual case where a black person commits an horrific crime and makes the perpetrator white.

It adds the special aspect, for the UK, that not only was the perpetrator black but also an immigrant, but in the “drama” the perp is a native white British kid “radicalized” by online racist misinformation.

In other words, it's a show that the UK deep state wishes was true.
