Ep. 292: History Repeats with Liam Carballal and Richard Acritelli (Part 2: History vs. Hollywood)
In this compelling second installment of History vs. Hollywood, host Liam Carballal and historian Richard Acritelli take a closer look at how war and social justice are portrayed on screen. From the gritty realism of We Were Soldiers to the moral reckoning of Mississippi Burning and the unity of Remember the Titans, they explore where Hollywood gets it right — and where it dramatizes history to move hearts.
Acritelli shares firsthand insights from Vietnam veterans, including Dr. Frank Lunati’s haunting field stories, and connects America’s struggles abroad to its fight for equality at home. Together, they remind us that film can be both a mirror and a teacher — showing how courage, prejudice, and progress repeat through generations.
🎙️ Produced by hmTv at the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center.
