Oliver Stone "is a screenwriter and director and a member of the Board of Directors at the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions. He co-wrote and directed such successful films as Wall Street, and Born of the Fourth of July which won an Academy Award in 1990.

"His works have won many awards, such as his 1995 TV mini-series Indictment: The McMartin Preschool which won the Emmy Award. His 1986 production, Platoon won three awards, the Academy award, Directors Guild award, and British Academy Award."

Oliver Stone’s latest film, South of the Border (2009): an eighty-minute-long travelogue/documentary about Latin America’s left-ward shift in the last decade.

Michael Yates notes that "Oliver Stone’s Showtime series, Untold History of the United States, is the most radical mainstream television I have ever watched."
