CHAPTER

Exploring Political Themes in New Movie and Documentary

The chapter delves into a new movie titled Civil War by Alex Garland that cleverly navigates a civil war setting in America without clearly aligning with mainstream political narratives. It also discusses a recent documentary in PBS's American Masters series focusing on William F. Buckley's impact on the conservative movement post-World War II, touching on his evolving views on civil rights and government involvement. The episode offers insights on the breakdown of societal norms and the consequences of political polarization, as well as the shaping of culture and politics through ideological movements like those led by Buckley.
