Synopsis:
Programming the Nation is a feature documentary about the history of subliminal messaging in America. According to many authorities, since the late 1950′s subliminal content has been delivered through all forms of mass-media. The modern military has even been accused of these practices in the War on Terror. Director, Jeff Warrick, leads this journey through the subconscious mind while examining the reported history, scientific research and potential effects of such techniques on society.

With eye-opening footage, revealing interviews, humorous anecdotes, and an array of visual effects, this fast-paced film explores the alleged use of subliminals in advertising, music, film, political propaganda and the military. It takes in the entire history of alleged subliminal messages, from hidden sexual imagery in Disney cartoons and satanic messages in rock music, to the James Vicary experiment where “drink coca-cola” was flashed between frames at a cinema, and the infamous Republican “RATS” campaign that won Bush the presidency.

Warrick makes it his mission to determine if these manipulative tactics have succeeded in Programming the Nation, or if subliminal programming belongs in the category of what many consider an urban legend. Now, you be the judge…

Reviews:
"Remember those bumper stickers: "If You're Not Outraged, You're Not Paying Attention"? And "Apathy Is the Voice of Complicity"? This film isn't a shoulder-shaking wake-up call exactly, but rather a well-done survey of a critically-important issue/symptom that frequently gets overlooked or laughed-off.

A quality documentary on this subject was long overdue. There's something for everyone here, I think. For those new to this subject; the large and impressive interview cast is a tour 'de force of heavyweight experts (including some of my personal heroes). Veteran students will glean new perspectives and useful insights- presented in a casual, entertaining, and highly-watchable style.

The meta-issue at hand is our societies' misplaced priorities, IMO. Specifically, the vital questions regarding IF and HOW our priorities are engineered somehow. I've watched many documentaries about the aberrant shenanigans going on behind the scenes, and I'm becoming increasingly disdainful of those who seek to profit from what translates into the slow-motion crashing of societies' foundational structures. That may be a bit of an overstatement, but if you disagree, I'd encourage you to continue questioning.

A pinnacle example from the film is this quote from a leaked ad agency internal memo: "We're in the business of making women feel badly about themselves". Yikes! What a concise and shocking summary of one of the many abhorrent truths of our times!

I'm standing and cheering for Jeff Warrick and his production team for their talent and vision! I'll be watching for their next project.

I'd say this terrific film is required viewing for all of us in consumer culture, especially teenagers and parents with young children (PLEASE?!)
