Description

Get a vital look at the state of American politics through the lens of right-wing media guru Roger Ailes. From presidential advisor to founder and mastermind of Fox News, Ailes rose from a Midwestern factory town to become a central force behind the Republican party—wielding his enormous influence to help steer the conservative movement from Nixon through to Trump. It all came toppling down when women started to come forward with allegations of sexual harassment, revealing decades of moral corruption and shameless abuse of power. Striking a chord in the wake of the 2016 elections and the age of #MeToo, Divide and Conquer tracks the epic rise and fall of the disgraced mogul, and his role in creating a discourse of fear and anger that continues to divide the nation.
