Shadows of Liberty
+ Panel Discussion European PremiereJean-Philippe Tremblay | United Kingdom | 93 mins
'Shadows of Liberty' is a documentary feature-film examining the media crisis in the United States. The film takes a harrowing journey through the dark corridors of the American media landscape where massive corporations exercise extraordinary political and economic power.
Artfully mixing interviews, actuality, reconstructions, and archive material, we hear insider accounts from a broken media system, where journalists are prevented from pursuing controversial news stories, citizens are censored for speaking out against abuses of government power, and individual lives have been shattered as the arena for public expression has been turned into a private profit zone.
The democratic principles of free press have been eroded by a new corporate media monopoly. The principles of a free and open Internet are changing as corporations and governments are restricting access. We need to take action and take our public media back.
