Monday, January 12th at 7 p.m. at the Fresno Center for Nonviolence, 1584 N. Van Ness Ave (SE corner Van Ness and McKinley) The start of a series showing Oliver Stone’s “The Untold History of the United States”. The series will continue on subsequent Mondays until March 30th. The notion of American exceptionalism still warps Americans’ understanding of their nation’s role in the world. Most are loathe admitting that the United States has any imperial pretensions. But history tells a different story as filmmaker Oliver Stone and historian Peter Kuznick reveal in this riveting account of the rise and decline of the American empire. Aided by the latest archival findings and recently declassified documents and building on the research of the world’s best scholars, Stone and Kuznick construct an often shocking but meticulously documented “people’s history” of the American empire that offers startling context to the Bush-Cheney policies that put us at war in two Muslim countries and show us why the Obama administration has had such a difficult time cleaving a new path. Their conclusions will astonish even experts, but there is one question only listeners can answer: Is it too late for America to change?
