From the documentary’s website: The Fight of Our Lives –- Defeating the Ideological War Against the West examines
the internal and external threats facing the West. The cast of distinguished
scholars and experts trace the emergence of anti-Western ideas and movements,
and their subsequent penetration into Western academia, politics, and society.
We bought the DVD and watched it at home. About 66 minutes. Among
those interviewed are Niall Ferguson, Ayan Hirsi Ali, Victor Davis Hanson,
Melanie Phillips, and many more; most readers will recognize quite a few of the commentators.
From Cynthia Cai’s The Epoch Times interview with the
producer of the documentary, Gloria Greenfield:
Another scholar who contributed to
the film commentary was Bruce Thornton, an American classicist at California
State University Fresno and research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover
Institution.
“[Thornton’s] understanding of what
he refers to in the film as the ‘therapeutic age,’ where feelings are the most
important and there’s been a rejection … of taking any responsibility for their
actions—I thought that was a very important notion that needed to be addressed
in the film,” said Greenfield.
. . .
“Soon after the film came out, I
received an email from a professor in Paris, who was so grateful for the film
and told me that he was using it in his classrooms,” said Greenfield.
So, do you know any teachers or professors or colleagues who
would be interested in organizing a screening or showing it in a local
classroom? Check out the website here for lots more information. It's also listed at Amazon.
