american debt to france?

we keep on hearing how france owes america for liberating it in the 2nd world war (even though it was the allies not just america).

And americans (the majoritybeing ignorant) dont realize that with out french troops and the french navy they never would have won their independance from us (britain).

britain was the superpower at the time with its back bone being the royal navy, during the wars of american independance the british backbone was crushed by french firgates.

americans like to pretend a handful of farmers (who were trained by the french) fought of the worlds most dominant super power ever seen. however the truth is that america owes france as much as france owes america.

why do some people came to see the 1960s as a period of bad influences on British society.?

Use your own knowledge and the sources below.
Source F: Part of an article in the Daily Mail, 25 May 1964
Mrs Mary Whitehouse, a schoolteacher, has launched a national campain to help writers who find it difficult to induce the BBC TV to screen their work. She said yesterday,"Authors who speak out strongly for the established Christian faith and write plays which inspire a sense of purpose and hope find it extraordinarily difficult to get their work accepted".
Mrs Whitehouse, 53, is founder of the Woman of Britain Clean Up TV Campaign. She added,"It became necessary because of the built-in censorship which the BBC exerts against much which is good and clean in our national culture".

Source G: Part of a biography entry for the singer Janis Joplin; this was published in the 1990s.
She was a rebellious teenager. She developed a powerful blues voice and sang in clubs in Houston the mid-1960s, before joining Big Brother and the Holding Company in San Franciso. She died of a drugs overdose in 1970.

Are filmmakers obligated to tell the historical truth?

If so, to what extent?

I'm researching this question for a college paper, and was wondering what some "real" people think about this, to get some fresh ideas. I originally thought the essay would be, pick a movie and dissect what is true and false about it, but the prompt actually has us pick a movie and argue whether the director/writer are obligated to tell the historical truth about it and why. I chose Scorsese's 2004 film The Aviator on Howard Hughes life. Does anyone have any opinions on this in regards to The Aviator, or just in general what responsibility filmmakers have to tell the truth to the public regarding an event or a life?

If you can refer me to any articles or sites for reference, that would be great too!
