Listen to reviews on our radio show

This film brings up a lot of issues relevant to contemporary culture and how to deal with some of them.
Using the word "woke" as a take off place, Alan Chriest discusses the history of distorting the truth and disseminating misinformation. There's no cure recommended here, just a call to pay attention to the facts and be open to understanding people who are different from you.
I give Woke 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!

The world is full of opinions and assumptions manifested in a variety of ways. Statements based on verifiable facts should be accepted as truth. However, we have a long history of distorting and manipulating the truth to fit one's agenda. Herein lies the problem. Well-intentioned people will read books, join groups, become rejuvenated, and conclude they are better than everyone else. This duplicity is what keeps the flames of intolerance burning. And destruction of the human spirit continues.
