Turner Classic Movies (TCM) announced that Making Change: The Most Significant Political Films of All Time, a nine-week limited series showcasing films from the list by The New Republic, will premiere September 6, 2024, @ 8PM ET/PT. TCM host Ben Mankiewicz and influential guests from all sectors of culture including Former Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates, Stacey Abrams, Melissa Etheridge, Sally Field, Spike Lee, Steven Spielberg, and John Turturro will dive into cinema’s most impactful political films.

“I learned at an early age that, whether we like it or not, politics intersect with our culture every day,” says TCM host Ben Mankiewicz. “And the movies, since before the arrival of sound, have long served as a barometer of our political climate. This series brings an eclectic mix of filmmakers, actors, political figures, and journalists to TCM to discuss a varied selection of brilliant movies. Along the way, we’ll discuss how great films have managed to predict political culture, to reflect it, and to challenge it.”

Each of these films sparks discussion, inspires change, and can shift perspectives, creating an inspiring environment for viewers to explore these films within their historical context.
