Shadows Of Liberty

SHADOWS OF LIBERTY

Sue Wilson will talk on the state of the US media, whistleblowers and needed reform.  The film shows where journalists attempting to tell their stories have been muzzled by corporations and the government.  It shows how a corporate-controlled media can silence the truth about issues ranging from war to labor practices.  In one instance, CBS refused to re-air an investigation by the prize-winning journalist Roberta Baskin on Nike’s use of sweatshop labor in Vietnam.

Controversial news reports are suppressed, people are censored for speaking out, and lives are shattered as the arena for public expression is turned into a private profit zone.  Shadows of Liberty poses a crucial question: why have we let a handful of powerful corporations write the news? Media reform is urgent and freedom of the press is fundamental. The film is directed by Jean-Philippe Tremblay.

Organic popcorn and refreshments available.  Stay for discussion following the film.  Sponsored by the Peace and Justice Center of Nevada County and the Social Action Committee of the UUCM.
