Thank you for this interview - I’m a documentary nut and “Exterminate All The Brutes” has meant the most to me. It is difficult, painfully timely, and should be required viewing.
Excellent interview and Mr. Peck is a fascinating person. It is very disheartening to hear from someone who experienced full blown authoritarianism who drew parallels with our current situation.
Oh it’s more Orwellian than people seem to think. Both parties are unpopular and losing control to grass roots movements. The Republicans chose to run a carrier criminal for attention. The democrats chose to share power with a well known pedophile and slow walk every investigation into his behavior, so that they could use his incompetence against him.
Congress and the Supreme Court have chosen to abandon their constitutional duties to engage in political theater. Voters of both parties have turned out to push for change and been denied. Our culture is too top heavy with wealth and power to be easily mutable.
They will do whatever they think they can get away with to stay in power and in the money. Authoritarian power creep is inevitable if you keep handling the same failures your wealth, your children, and your freedoms.

It is always a bracing check to our perceptions to hear from someone who has experienced full- on authoritarianism.
I am not in a big city so will look for this on streaming.
As always, thank you, Sonny, for enlarging the world of film for me.
