This three-part radio documentary produced by CBC (and featuring Matt, Tanner Mirrlees and myself, among others) explores the role Hollywood has played in selling war going from WW2 right up to the modern day. While much of this will be familiar to long term listeners to ClandesTime there will be some new information in here because even I learned a few things, especially from the first episode which focuses on WW2 and the early Cold War period. The second episode largely looks at Vietnam and the cultural aftermath in the 70s and 80s, while the third and final episode looks at the war on terror.
