Exterminate All the Brutes

S01E02 Part 2

Peck explores the narratives surrounding Christopher Columbus, the Alamo, and the Trail of Tears through the lens of indigenous experiences, revealing how those in authority craft “official” history, which is then reinforced by myth and mainstream culture. He goes on to scrutinize the “doctrine of discovery” that was employed to rationalize the enslavement of countless Africans and reflects on his own place within these complex narratives.
