It may feel as if the present-day political world is spinning out of control, as are the various means of selling political thought. This program analyzes what is behind past and current propaganda, and questions what exactly is “the truth.” Propaganda identifies the predominant means and methods of persuasion that have been employed by those seeking power, often at any cost. The documentary looks back at key epochs of history when propaganda defined nations and kept populations in check.

Sealab On a February day in 1969, off the shore of northern California, a U.S. Navy crane carefully lowered 300 tons of metal into the Pacific Ocean.
