I recently watched a feature called "Nazi Titanic" on the History channel. It is a documentary on the making of Joseph Goebbel's film epic, "Titanic" from 1939-43.
Pre-war and before the Nazi movement began serious ethnic cleansing, Berlin was neck and neck with Hollywood as the world capital of film making.
Goebbels wanted to use popular films as propaganda and "Titanic" was a major effort to this end. The documentary covers propaganda in general and some of the major German failures and successes.
My carrier DISH includes the Current channel as part of basic and I doubt they will drop it.
It will be interesting to watch the AJ channel to see how the slant things. I consider myself to be far too cynical to be vulnerable to any propaganda. It is painfully obvious to me from all sides.
