Greg Mitchell on The First Attack Ads

[Explicit Language] Author/director Greg Mitchell returns for his third appearance on the show. Greg wrote and directed the brand new documentary The First Attack Ads: Hollywood vs Upton Sinclair, telling the story of the 1934 governor's race in California and how wealthy Hollywood executives used film for the first time to smear Sinclair with familiar mud-slinging tactics still in use today. You can stream the movie starting October 2 at kcet.org/firstattackads. You can subscribe to Greg's amazing newsletter here. And you can follow Greg on Twitter here. Additional music "Hey California" by Paul Melancon.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
