Location: ARCH building at U Penn (36th Street and Walnut) - Crest Room. View map.

Description: This incisive documentary focuses a critical eye on the American media and its distortion and manipulation of news concerning the Israeli Palestinian conflict. The film demonstrates how violence is portrayed in a vacuum without attention to the brutal nature of the Israeli occupation. The vital links between the American media and the Israeli public relations establishment are also exposed. Many notable spokespersons such as Noam Chomsky, Robert Fisk, Hanan Ashwawi and others are featured. (80 minutes)
