A POWERFUL EXAMINATION OF MODERN MEDIA AND ITS IMPACT ON OUR POLITICAL CULTURE

“A marvel of passionate succinctness, Robert Kane Pappas‘ documentary critically examines the Fourth Estate, once the bastion of American democracy. It asks, “Could a media system, controlled by a few global corporations with the ability to overwhelm all competing voices, be able to turn lies into truth?…” — Variety
The Film meticulously traces the process by which black may be turned into white, with frequent references totalitarian states both fictional and real –
Meticulously tracing the process by which media has distorted and often dismissed actual news events, Pappas presents a riveting and eloquent mix of media professionals and leading intellectual voices on the media.
ORWELL ROLLS IN HIS GRAVE provides a vital forum for ideas that will never be heard in mainstream media. From Globalvision’s Danny Schecter: “We falsely think of our country as a democracy when it has evolved into a mediacracy – where a media that is supposed to check political abuse is part of the political abuse.”

New York University media professor Mark Crispin Miller says, “These commercial entities now vie with the government for control over our lives. They are not a healthy counterweight to government. Goebbels said that what you want in a media system – he meant the Nazi media system – is to present the ostensible diversity that conceals an actual uniformity.”

“One of the most popular films on our schedule.”
