This is a film about storytelling, about how we tell the story of our countrys past. Why do we want to believe one version and not another . Maybe because it makes us feel safe at night. There is one episode of americas history that is told very differently, depending on who you are and where you live. It is the story of our civil war and what came after. The Hot Winds Of War blew across the land. Made of it, a country divided. Friend turned into foe. Brother fought against brother. It was such a long and drawn out struggle.

To introduce myself, my name is rachel boynton. This is nelson walker. We are independent documentary filmmakers. Were making a film about how we tell the story of the civil war. Were filming in different schools all over virginia and were going to place this with a deep connection to this histo

pummeled by higher gas prices. what is joe s solution? a good old-fashioned bribe. president biden is releasing another 15 million barrels, even though our reserve is at the lowest level in nearly four decades. the best part? biden isn t even being coy about his scheme. i ve been doing everything in my power to reduce gas prices since putin s invasion of ukraine caused these price hikes. without the steps we ve taken over the past several months, to ramp up production and lower prices and get relief to consumers, bring down the price charged at the pump to reflect what you pay for the product. you still make a significant profit. shareholders will still do very well. the american people will catch a break they deserve and get a fair price at the pump as well. seconds later, the same guy claimed that politics has nothing to do with it. what is your response to republicans who say you are only doing this as pr to help democrats in the midterms? where have they been the
