These are just some of the more well-known Participant titles. For over 20 years, participants have created even more Over 130 titlesincluding a Shirley Chisholm biopic called chisholm (I prefer John Wayne) version), John Lewis: Good Trouble, Dark Waters, Based on Sex…There is also a sequel. inconvenient truth It was a failure, perhaps because none of the disasters predicted in the first film came true.
That’s not to say the participants didn’t provide some decent titles from time to time. Bridge of Spies, Deepwater Horizon, Lincoln, Green Book, A Most Violent Year, Citizenfourand infectious disease is a pretty good movie, and I will forever be grateful to Waiting for Superman for exposing the cruelty of the Democratic Party in blocking school choice. But most of what this company produces is vegetables, and no one goes to the movies to eat vegetables.
Your catalog is the key to surviving in the Biden economy, where money is no longer free due to high interest rates and where left-wing affirmative action on cable/satellite TV is drying up. Movie catalogs exist to generate a steady stream of revenue through home video sales, international sales, and television contracts. The problem with Participant’s catalog is that, with those few exceptions, the company hasn’t been able to produce movies that people want to see again.
Most of their products are propaganda and not worth rewatching. No one wants to see propaganda again, even those who agree with it. Propaganda leaves nothing to discover or think about, so there’s no reason to look again.

How many people would have watched it again, including those who support this nonsense? no one. There’s no reason to do so. Message received. In contrast to a well-made documentary, Grizzly Man, Hearts and Minds, Harlan County USA, American Films, OJ: Made in America, Salesman, Heart of Darkness, Hoop Dreams, Gimme Shelter, Into the Abyss, Capture of the Friedmans, The Devil and Daniel Johnston, The Thin Blue Line , Gray Garden, etc. — It doesn’t tell you what to think, it asks you to watch it over and over again to make you think. There is a mystery there, something unexplained.
Woke has no shelf life. There is nothing to think about, nothing to answer, nothing to discover. Indeed, there is nothing I would like to rediscover. And it’s not just the participants. All this garbage that Hollywood has produced, billions of dollars in bad content, thousands of movies and TV shows, tens of thousands of TV episodes, is useless as a recurring source of revenue through licensing deals. do not have. You might also try convincing people to watch the deodorant commercial again. Even if you use deodorant, no one will want to see that situation again.
