I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
View MoreAn absolute waste of money
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

View MoreThis has got to be my second favorite documentary of all time. Right behind Hillary's America: The Secret History of The Democratic Party. As someone who has gone through the public schools and as someone who has a mother and sister who teach in the public schools, it's hard for me to find the right words to explain to you how accurate this film is. The public school system really does indoctrinate kids.A prime example of this are the riots that occurred after the presidential election. Especially UC Berkeley. Most of the teachers I've experienced are very liberal, and the one's that are conservative don't really want to speak out in fears of receiving disciplinary action. Christian teachers are not allowed to talk about Christ in front of the class, but yet homosexual and other teachers with radical ideologies are allowed to talk freely about their ideologies. They teach evolution as a fact and not a theory, which is what it really is. Now with the whole transgender thing and it's really getting insane. Most of my former teachers would have supported that. I only graduated high school 3 years ago. I would not feel comfortable sharing a locker room or bathroom with a girl who thinks she a guy. It would be awkward.
View MoreJust watched this movie last night. Awesome expose of our public school system and what its doing to the children in America. And its getting worse and worse every year! George Washington had only 2 days of formal schooling. Thomas Jefferson had 0 days. The documentary involves Colin Gunn, a homeschooling dad who hails from Scotland, loading his family up on a school bus and going around the country to talk to all kinds of people. Some are well-known in homeschooling circles, like John Taylor Gatto, Ken Ham, and Voddie Baucham. For me, it was the stories told by regular people that hit me. A very popular elementary school teacher. A recent graduate of a highly rated public school. Another teacher. A regular working-man type of dad. A school principal. People who DO know what is going on in the schools. You have to be aware about what's going on. I think this documentary can really, really make you think. To think long and hard about what the real situation is for our kids in the schools. I know, the tendency is to believe that these things are not happening here. But they are!
View MoreAll the activism and self-education a person can pursue in a dozen lifetimes is trivial so long as we entrust the education of our children to the very machine that is the instrument of our oppression. Colin Gunn offers up a masterwork of reason in his film addressing the issue of public schooling in America. The vision of the film is compelling. The message is clear and concise. The facts are laid bare for the viewer. A staple of excellence in documentary production is to not just bring attention to an issue, but explain in some capacity both how we got into the mess to begin with and what we can do about it. All of this and more is addressed in IndoctriNation as Gunn takes us back to the very roots and foundations of modern public education in America, candidly and objectively examines the fruits of it, analyzes the arguments for and against it--and from *there* moves on to its conclusion. I am yet to see so thorough and compelling a dissection of the plight of modern education in America that simultaneously offers real and tangible solutions to the problem.
