Full Plot Details

According to many authorities, since the late 1950's subliminal content has been tested and delivered through all forms of media, at an increasingly alarming rate. "PROGRAMMING THE NATION?" examines the purported uses, influences and potential subconscious side-effects of what's going on beneath the surface of advertising, film, music and political propaganda. Even the US military has been accused of using this technology in their Psychological Operations Unit, (PSY OPS) campaign. This socially relevant documentary not only traces the history of this phenomenon, but seeks to determine the validity and potential threat that may or may not exist. Do you ever find yourself doing or buying things without any conscious reasoning? Why has consumer debt in America risen over 50% since 1990? How is it possible that the United States consumes about 25% of the world's resources while only making up 4.5% of the world's population? Are we all part of an elaborate scheme which has been programming the nation? Decide for yourself...

Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin ThomasWarrick finds subliminal messaging in political campaigns, military operations and even in the music played in big box stores. Warrick is also rightly concerned by the power of media conglomerates to manipulate the news.
New York Times - 8/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisFusty research, aging interviewees and decades-old advertising campaigns offer background to the uninitiated, but Mr. Warrick's muddled, undisciplined approach destroys even the possibility of a cogent overview.
NYC Movie Guru - 8/10 by Avi OfferServes as a vital wake-up call and manages to be simultaneously entertaining, provocative and enraging--just as all harsh truths, sans euphemisms, should be presented.
Shockya.com - 7/10 by Brent SimonA shaggy look at the history of subliminal messaging and advertising in the United States that leaves one wanting for the pruning of a sensible editor.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Joe NeumaierThis thought-provoking but overlong doc wins points for being all-inclusive.
San Francisco Chronicle - 5/10 by David LewisBesides the fact that the film is flabby (way too much time is spent on history), its efforts to tie subliminal messaging to a vast array of political, media and pop cultural events turn the proceedings a little hazy (or a lot hazy, depending on your worldview).
Film Threat - 4/10 by Phil HallIt seems that the filmmaker has a very broad view of what subliminal messaging is all about.
Slant Magazine - 4/10 by Bill WeberA pseudo-investigative documentary shakily committed to the subject of subliminal messaging in America, but curiously indulgent about giving the singer of Queensryche time to spout off about whatever enters his head.
Boxoffice Magazine - 4/10 by Ray GreeneProgramming the Nation is a lo-fi, issues-driven documentary carried along by the strength of its ideas rather than its artless desktop aesthetic.
The A.V. Club - 4/10 by Noel MurrayIt's tough to keep track of everything Jeff Warrick's subliminal-advertising documentary Programming The Nation? does wrong.
