Michael Parenti - The Struggle for History

Michael Parenti's acclaimed lecture regarding the manipulation of the past to control the present. Parenti asks all of us to consider the historical context of what is happening today and to understand how our own consciousness about current events is formed by the struggle to define, understand and describe what has happened historically. In short: almost everything you thought you knew about historical events has been manipulated, distorted and regurgitated to accomplish a particular class, social and political agenda. 86 mins
