I know, you weren’t expecting this, but Military Times have reviewed our documentary Theaters of War. Davis Winkie, who did his Masters thesis on the military-Hollywood relationship, has written a cheekily-titled review ‘New documentary scrutinizes Pentagon-Hollywood relationship — but is it propaganda?’, a well-crafted dangling modifier that suggests Theaters of War itself may be propaganda. Of course it is, everything in media is propaganda in some sense of the word, but at least our film was made without any government support. Unless Roger turns out to have been secretly working for the Chinese all along, but that doesn’t seem especially likely. Matt, maybe.
