Brave New Films Latest: #TrumpCrimeWave

Brave New Films in its latest video release delves into former President Donald Trump’s frequent claims and allegations about crime waves in America’s major cities. The crime waves, of course, don’t exist, though right-wing and extreme right wing news media, insist they do. The Trump administration was marred by a staggering number of criminal activities.

From corruption and fraud to obstruction of justice, Brave New Films explore the numerous legal challenges and scandals that plagued Trump and his inner circle. BNF wants people to discover how Trump’s rhetoric about urban crime deflects from the real wave of criminality that swept through the White House during his tenure – and, yet, reverberates still.

Please Note: WORD Editor-Publisher’s position is that Trump is a racist, sexist, homophobic, miscreant and sociopathThere are way too many, he believes, who are way to nonchalant about his racism, sexism, homophobia and antisocial personality disorder.

About Brave New Films: Robert Greenwald and BNF create free documentary films that inform the public, challenge corporate media, and motivate people to take action on social issues nationwide. Brave New Films’ investigative films have shined a light on the Bush, Obama and Trump administration, voter suppression, U.S. drone strikes, the prosecution of whistleblowers and Walmart’s corporate practices.

BNF’s mission is to champion social justice issues by using a model of media, education, and grassroots volunteer involvement that inspires, empowers, motivates and teaches civic participation and makes a difference.

QUEEN OF THE DESERT is Director Mary Ann Rotondi’s creative endeavor to make a movie commentary about what she believed are the dynamic social and political forces menacing this country, writes the WORD’s Luis De Leon.
