Sympathy for the Devil (1968 by Godard)

Criterion Channel has multiple Rolling Stones documentaries, and I started watching all of them tonight. When I got to 1968's "Sympathy for the Devil" by Godard (yes, THE Godard)... It wasn't really about the Stones at all:

Let me just quote from Wikipedia:

Interwoven through the movie [My note: these aren't "interwoven"---They are over half of the movie ostensibly about the Rolling Stones] are outdoor shots of Black Panthers loitering in a junkyard littered with rusting cars heaped upon each other. They read from revolutionary texts (including Amiri Baraka and Eldridge Cleaver) and toss their rifles to each other, from man to man. A group of white women, apparently kidnapped and dressed in white, are brutalized and ultimately shot, off-camera; their bloody bodies are subsequently seen in various tableaus throughout the film.

The rest of the film contains a political message in the form of a voiceover about Marxism, the need for revolution and other topics in which Godard was interested. One scene involves a camera crew following a woman about in a yellow peasant dress (played by Anne Wiazemsky), in an outdoor wildlife setting; questions are asked of her, to which she always answers either "yes" or "no". As can be seen from the chapter heading to the scene, she is supposed to be a personification of democracy, a woman named 'Eve Democracy'.   

[My note: The above lengthy scene in which this woman is interrogated reminds me of pure indoctrination, or, at the least, like Kanye/Bianca. It's VERY disturbing. But Godard did not mean for it to be "disturbing"---he meant for it to be purely a political statement.]

Who had control over the final release of this movie? Did the Stones allow this to come out in their name? 

I'm usually intellectually curious. But this was extreme Communist/anti-female propaganda, and extreme radical pro-black propaganda. To the point of nausea and disgust. 

I'd actually recommend that every sane moderate person watch this entire thing. THIS is exactly what was being pushed back in '68, and what is being pushed today. (AGAIN: This is ostensibly about the Stones, but the vast majority of the film has nothing to do with them---it's primarily Godard and his ill-thought-out support for Black Radical and Communist politics.)
