It's not from a major production company and it's independent, so you have to consider this.
This documentary is about something that is extremely relevant and important these days. Rise of the right-wing media and its effect.
Jen Senko tries to describe her journey with his dad about this phenomenal.
This toxic issue is there, so alive and dangerous. I lived it and I know how right-wing media can brainwash someone so easily and turn someone ordinary into a fanatic, bitter, hateful machine as my dad is now and caused us to be separated forever and my mum and him got divorced. So I know what I'm talking about.
The Brainwashing of My Dad is well-made, well-narrated and edited.
Lots of moments are striking and thought-provocative.
8.3/10.

It's a must see documentary for everyone.
Great documentary
Excellent depiction of how negative news and propaganda from certain networks( fox in this instance) can have a huge impact on the disposition of people that constantly watch these networks. The constant stream of negative and nonsense news that is produced by fox in particular Create anger and divisiveness in our society. These networks pray on uninformed elderly people especially, and provide them with a dystopian view of the world.
The visible and invisible manipulations of the right wing media machine
This film should be required viewing for all U.S. voters for they will understand just how insidious, wide ranging and effective the right wing media machine (e.g., Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, conservative talk radio etc.)has been on the cultural landscape for the past 20 years.
Beyond the expected debunking of what we know is a sham -- Fox New's "Fair and Balanced" misreporting and Limbaugh's outlandish comments -- Ms. Senko's film takes us beyond the dictated talking points of Fox President's Roger Ailes to something much deeper and chilling.
The skill of these propagandists and their toxic effect on ordinary citizens (as seen through the lens of her own father) is an eye opener. The ending was especially moving. See it for yourself.
