In this wide-ranging and unfiltered episode of The Big Picture, Randall Carlson opens up like never before—sharing stories from his life in the 1960s, his near-draft into the Vietnam War, and the moments that shattered his trust in the narratives handed down by media, government, and culture.
What begins as a reflection on war, truth, and resistance unfolds into a deep critique of the American system—touching on education, imperialism, psychedelics, media manipulation, and the engineered collapse of peace movements. But this isn’t just a look back—it’s a call to awaken.
From the failures of the 20th century to the potential of a conscious, cooperative future, Randall and the crew explore how we lost our way—and how we might still find it.
