시놉시스
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. For decades, their overwhelming influence has distorted news journalism and
compromised its values.
In highly revealing stories, renowned journalists, activists and academics give
insider accounts of a broken media system. 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.
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? We're left in no doubt . media reform is urgent and freedom of the
press is fundamental.
