This video explores how John Ford was able to influence the way Americans view their history. Of course, Ford wasnt the only filmmaker shaping our understanding of history, but he is one of the most prominent and is at least a good representative of the mid-20th century western director. There are many aspects of our historical view that were shaped by films, but I explore how the individuals in Fords movies affect how we view America and the American individual.
