A documentary series titled USA, la révolution conservatrice 1960-1980 is set to air on Arte, a European public broadcasting network. The series, created by Cédric Tourbe, explores the political roots of what is now known as trumpism, tracing the development of conservative thought in the United States between 1960 and 1980. It focuses on electoral politics, political victories, and cultural artifacts from the era that reflect the mood of the time. The documentary presents Ronald Reagan as a key figure who helped shape the conservative movement, which later influenced the rise of more extreme right-wing politics in the U.S. The series highlights how Reagan's leadership in the 1980s had a significant impact on American society and the conservative movement he represented. This movement emerged in the 1970s as a reaction to the liberal, democratic, and progressive traditions of the country. Reagan's rise within his party, particularly his opposition to Richard Nixon, marked a shift in American politics toward a more hardline and reactionary stance. This shift was supported by various groups, including the business community, the Christian right, and those opposed to progressive social policies, taxes, immigrants, and the counterculture movement of the time. The documentary uses archival images to show the growing divide between the liberal Democratic Party and the increasingly conservative Republican movement. It also references the success of films such as Joe (1970) and Death Wish (1974), which are presented as cultural indicators of the rise of a more extreme form of republicanism. These films reflected public sentiment and the growing appeal of right-wing ideologies during the period. The documentary series will be available on arte.tv from September 29 until June 3, 2027. It will also air on television on Tuesday, October 6 at 9 p.m. The series aims to provide viewers with a deeper understanding of the historical context that contributed to the political landscape of modern America.
