What We Think

Oliver Stone’s Untold History is a textbook example of revisionist storytelling driven by modern ideological themes. Tradition is usually on trial, and alternative perspectives don’t get much of a day in court. Expect a highly woke interpretation of U.S. history, with little regard for non-woke angles.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The documentary often appears to present history through a highly ideological lens, prioritizing select themes over a balanced recounting of events. Major U.S. figures and their actions are frequently viewed through a narrow, critical perspective that fits contemporary progressive templates, sometimes at the expense of nuance or complexity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional American values such as patriotism, the role of the military, and national exceptionalism are consistently questioned or reframed as problematic. The series frequently challenges long-standing cultural narratives, arguably contributing to a sense that foundational values need a fundamental rethink.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Viewpoints outside of the documentary’s progressive-progressivist framing are almost entirely absent or depicted as misguided. The lack of sincere alternative perspectives and routine critique of U.S. institutions fosters a strong sense of ideological uniformity.
