World War II Proproganda
Oh My! If you want to see the USA in the best light probable than watch these documentaries. They are careful to omit the facts and in some cases are blatenly lying. Perfect to see the allies use of propoganda during World War II.

Why We Fight...Even Today
I remember watching this series when I was a teenager, and I didn't realize the value of this series until I was enlisted in the Army. Just as the Germans made films to boost and maintain national morale, the United States got one of the most...

A riveting series -- alas, unrestored
Frank Capra's "Why We Fight" is one of the finest documentaries of the war period, not to mention one of the most historically significant. Watching these films today, sixty-five years after this series was produced, you find yourself wanting to...

Best propaganda ever!!
I don't believe "propaganda" is a dirty word. It's depends on what the "propaganda" is out to accomplish and the techniques that are used in furthuring it's agenda. If the propaganda uses purposefully fabricated and deceiving information (lying)...

Capra's well done (but mislabeled) propaganda series
Capra's Why We fight series has been highly acclaimed and rightly so as his skill as producer-director shows through in every part of the series. That said there are two things wrong with the series:
