Join KHOI's showing of "Shadows of Liberty", a film tracing the story of media manipulation through the years. Shadows of Liberty poses a crucial question: why have we let a handful of powerful corporations write the news?
Stay after the film for a facilitated conversation with Dennis Chamberlin from the ISU Greenlee School of Journalism and Gavin Aronsen from the Ames Tribune.
ABOUT SHADOWS OF LIBERTY: Shadows of Liberty reveals the extraordinary truth behind the news media: censorship, cover‐ups and corporate control.
Filmmaker Jean-Philippe Tremblay takes an intrepid journey through the darker corridors of the American media landscape, where global conglomerates call the shots. In highly revealing stories, renowned journalists, activists and academics give insider accounts of a broken media system as the arena for public expression is turned into a private profit zone.
FEATURING: Danny Glover, Julian Assange, Dan Rather, Amy Goodman, David Simon, Daniel Ellsberg, Norman Solomon, Dick Gregory, Roberta Baskin, Robert McChesney, John Nichols, Chris Hedges, Kristina Borjesson, and many more.
