On History
In working together on two challenging new documentaries-South of the Borderand the forthcomingThe Untold History of the United Statesseries for Showtime-filmmaker Oliver Stone engaged with author and filmmaker Tariq Ali in a probing, hard-hitting conversation onthe politics of history.
Their dialogue brings to light a number of forgotten-or deliberately buried-episodes of American history, from the US intervention against the Russian Revolution and the dynamic radicalism of theIndustrial Workers of the World to Henry Wallace's sidelining by Democratic Party machine insiders and the ongoing interference of the United States in Pakistani political affairs.
For Stone and Ali-two of our most insightful observers on history and popular culture-no topic is sacred, no orthodoxy goes unchallenged.
TARIQ ALI is an internationally acclaimed Pakistani writer and filmmaker. He has written more than two dozen books on world history and politics and seven novels (translated into over a dozen languages) as well as scripts for the stage and screen. He is an editor ofNew Left Reviewand lives in London.

Book
The Oliver Stone Experience
Oliver Stone is one of the grand masters of American cinema. A multiple Academy Award-winning screenwriter and director (Midnight Express, Scarface, Platoon, JFK, Natural Born Killers, Snowden), he is as well known for his outspoken, controversial political beliefs as he is for his innovative films.Over the course of five years, Stone and author Matt Zoller Seitz discussed the arc of Stone's life and work with extraordinary candor. The cinematic mastermind shares anecdotes about Vietnam, his childhood, his struggles with posttraumatic stress disorder, and his continual struggle to reinvent himself as an artist. Seitz was given unprecedented access to Stone's personal archive, and these interviews are accompanied by never-before-seen material that dates back to Stone's childhood in the 1950s, including personal snapshots, private correspondence, annotated script pages and storyboards, and behind-the-scenes photography. At once a complex analysis of a master director's vision and a painfully honest autobiography, The Oliver Stone Experience promises to be as daring, intense, and provocative as Stone's films.
