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,
Julian Assange, Danny Glover, David Simon, Amy Goodman, Dan Rather, and a
host of award winning journalists and government experts 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?
