"Life, liberty, and the pursuit of truth." HBO has revealed a trailer for a compelling new doc series called Exterminate All the Brutes, arriving next month. "Conquest, slavery and the fabrication of 'Whiteness'… The past has a future we never expect." Exterminate All the Brutes is a four-part HBO hybrid docu series from filmmaker Raoul Peck (of I Am Not Your Negro) that challenges how history is being written. It disrupts formal and artistic film conventions by weaving together rich documentary footage and archival material, as well as animation and interpretive scripted cinematic scenes that offer a counter-narrative to (the widely taught) white Eurocentric history. Through a sweeping story in which history, contemporary life and fiction are wholly intertwined, the series challenges the audience to re-think the very notion of how history is being written. Uh, this sounds (and looks) awesome. And as uncomfortable as it is to watch, I like when they boldly tell the truth about humanity and its terribleness throughout history. This is a must watch. ›››
