Downfall of the Greats: 

Why movies are misleading

We may think we are immune to programming. Our favorite movies about fighting for a new world may have many good aspects, but there are also places where they all fall short of what is needed.

We need media that shows examples of how the current world is not hopeless and that shows real strategies of changing it for good.
