Who Will Write Our History sounds very powerful and worth seeing, I'll definitely watch it when I'm in the right head-space for it. I only wish it also wasn't timely too.

A Night at the Garden sounds deeply disturbing - I learned a great deal about the German American Bund when I was writing an RPG project about the "Golden Age" of SF, and also learned more about the various efforts by US SF authors of the day to push back against Nazis local and abroad. Many didn't, but more than a few did. Including, surprisingly, E. E. Smith, where even in Galactic Patrol (1937), his villains were clearly space-Nazis (although of a far more thug-like sort than later depictions of Nazis and space-Nazis). I'm also reminded of Warner Brothers making Confessions of a Nazi Spy (1939) and how they made it despite the warning from the HUAC "against slurring a 'friendly country'"
