Shadow of Liberty | ENDEVR Documentary. Powerful And Informative.

90% of the media in the USA is controlled by five big for-profit conglomerates, creating a media monopoly that manipulates our political, economic, and social world. Shadows of Liberty reveals the extraordinary truth behind the news media: censorship, cover-ups, and corporate control.

Shadows of Liberty is a 2012 British documentary film directed by Canadian filmmaker Jean-Philippe Tremblay. The documentary examines the impact of corporate media and concentration of media ownership on journalism and the news. It is based on the book The Media Monopoly by Ben Bagdikian.

The film portrays the U.S. media, including the major TV networks, as controlled by fewer and larger conglomerates that exercise extraordinary political, social, and economic power. It is structured around 14 vignettes that allege censorship at the U.S. networks, including the 1996 TWA 800 air disaster controversy and Nike sweatshops in Asia. It also alleges how the investigation of these stories has cost the jobs and, in some cases, the lives of investigating journalists.

It features interviews with journalists, activists, and academics, including Amy Goodman, Danny Glover, Julian Assange, Dan Rather, David Simon, Norman Solomon, Robert Baer, Roberta Baskin, Robert W. McChesney, Daniel Ellsberg, Chris Hedges, Deepa Kumar, and Kristina Borjesson.
