Slowly.<\/p>\n<p>The following eight films\u2064 are all\u2062 less \u2063than 10-years-old.\u200c They lack\u200b the budgets of their deep-pocketed peers and a \u200dfew slipped past most consumers.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re still powerful films that deserve your attention. Conservatives would be wise to watch them all \u2014 stat\u200d \u2014 \u2064and \u2063then tell a friend to do the same.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Can We\u2064 Take A Joke? (2015)<\/b><\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>How\u200b did director Ted Balaker see \u200cthe attacks on comedy coming before the rest of us? His <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canwetakeajoke.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2015 film<\/a> lets comedians defend their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/eight-documentaries-every-conservative-should-watch\/\" title=\"Top 8 Must-Watch Conservative Documentaries\">craft amidst early examples<\/a> of what would be later known as Cancel Culture. Adam Carolla, Jim Norton, and the late, great Gilbert Gottfried share how the best comedy comes from an \u2062uncensored mind, and why it\u2019s critical that comics have\u200d the freedom to say what they want.<\/p>\n<p>Years later, stand-ups like Dave Chappelle and Joe Rogan learned the\u200d hard way what happens when you\u200c let the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-hunter-biden-confirmed-owner-of-laptop\/\" title=\"Report: Hunter Biden confirmed owner of laptop\">woke movement<\/a> \u2062get\u2062 a toehold in the culture.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><b>No Safe\u200b Spaces (2019)<\/b><\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Carolla,\u200d again, is center \u200dstage alongside Dennis Prager <a href=\"https:\/\/nosafespaces.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in another docu-warning<\/a> we failed to heed. The \u200cdissimilar talkers \u2062explore the attacks on free speech happening on college campuses \u2063nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>The film introduced audiences to Bret Weinstein,\u2062 the liberal professor\u200d who was all\u200c but chased off campus for having an \u201cunapproved\u201d \u200copinion \u2062on race relations. \u200cOther tales are equally alarming.<\/p>\n<p>Director Justin Folk took an incendiary topic and\u2063 made it lively, informative, and more \u2062than a little \u2063scary. Michael Meyers has nothing on woke college \u2064students eager to snag another professorial scalp for their mantle.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><b>What Is A Woman? (2022)<\/b><\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Folk\u2019s follow-up documentary \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/videos\/what-is-a-woman#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What\u2064 is a Woman?<\/a>\u201d with \u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/show\/the-matt-walsh-show\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Matt Walsh<\/a> didn\u2019t merely rattle \u2063the zeitgeist. It shook a nation afraid of answering one \u2063of the\u200b most obvious \u200dquestions ever\u2064 asked, \u200cone that even stumped a \u200bSupreme Court nominee.<\/p>\n<p>Walsh \u200dproves\u200d the\u200c perfect tour guide through a \u200dcarnival \u2063of mistruths, evasions, and dangerous orthodoxies. Most film critics purposely ignored \u2063it, hoping their silence\u200c would help the movie drop\u200c off the pop culture radar.\u2062 Nothing doing.<\/p>\n<p>And when Twitter employees staged \u200dan \u2064internal\u2063 rebellion restricting viewers from watching\u2064 \u201cWhat is a Woman?,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/every-parent-should-watch-this-elon-musk-retweets-what-is-a-woman-to-his-140m-followers\">Elon Musk personally stepped in<\/a>, pinning \u200dthe documentary on his personal profile page \u2063followed\u2064 by 140 million people with the simple statement: \u201cEvery parent \u200cshould watch \u2063this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><b>The Essential\u2064 Church (2023)<\/b><\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The\u2063 pandemic lockdowns forbid many churchgoers from entering\u200c their place of worship, forcing them \u2062to stay home rather than find comfort in their faith. Oh, but you could still protest on\u200c behalf of Black Lives Matter and celebrate the election of Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>We need a dozen documentaries to \u2064record the injustices doled out during the pandemic. \u2062\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/essentialchurchmovie.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Essential\u200d Church<\/a>\u201d takes a laser-focused approach\u2062 to how it impacted religious people and\u200b how\u2063 some\u200c Christians refused to obey \u2063factually wobbly rules.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a powerful documentary that captures church culture better \u2064any movie in\u2062 recent memory. It\u200d also effectively mocks the political \u200bcowards who demanded we stay locked down but couldn\u2019t defend their orders in a court\u2064 of law.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><b>Created Equal: Clarence Thomas In His Own Words (2020)<\/b><\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is famous for both his \u2062fierce conservative spirit and reclusive public persona.

It turns out\u200b Thomas\u2064 is \u2064a natural storyteller, and his life offers \u200bprofound\u200b lessons for every American.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><b>What \u200bKilled Michael \u2064Brown?\u2064 (2020)<\/b><\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>That provocative title sets the stage \u200bfor director \u200cEli \u2063Steele\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/whatkilledmichaelbrown.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">essential documentary<\/a>. Steele visits Ferguson, Missouri, the town where the hulking Brown\u2063 died at the hands of a police officer. The documentary\u2019s jazz-inflected score underlines the many lies spread about Brown\u2019s death and how \u2064various \u200cparties\u200c used his tragic passing to\u2062 benefit their agendas.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cHands up Don\u2019t Shoot\u201d \u200cnarrative gets \u2062the fact-checking it richly deserves, but the \u2064film also compares the nonviolent \u200cprotests of the 1960s, when\u200b racism ran unchecked in much of America, to the \u201cmostly peaceful\u201d version we\u200b have today.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><b>When The Mob \u200bCame (2023)<\/b><\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The\u2064 people who ended <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caylanford.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Caylan\u200b Ford\u2019s<\/a> political dreams\u200c made but \u200done mistake.
