Also, tyrants need hagiographers.

Maybe films about the evacuation of Khabul airport where 13 US soldiers died (after tRump freed 5,000 terrorists including Taliban's present leader). Anything to smear Biden and Democrats.

Myth-making is a big part of a long-term gaslighting propaganda operation. Hitler had his Leni Riefenstahl.

Expect the films to be about as culturally significant as a Kid Rock song.
