Summary:
This series consists of the following DVDs:
>>> Captive Audience -- While explaining the various forms of in-school commercialism (including exclusive soda contracts, Channel One, and sponsored educational materials), Captive Audience draws attention to the controversial practices of advertising in the classroom and relying on commercial interests to fund public education.
>>> Mickey Mouse Monopoly: Disney, Childhood & Corporate Power -- "Viewing Disney without rose-colored glasses," as the Boston Globe put it, Mickey Mouse Monopoly takes a close and critical look at the world of Disney's animated films, and the stories they tell about race, gender, and class.
>>> Beyond Good & Evil: Children, Media & Violent Times -- In response to the 9/11 tragedy, U.S. political leaders and news media simplified complex international relationships into a fight between good and evil. This video examines how this "good and evil" rhetoric and narrative has shaped our perceptions of, and response to, conflict. Focusing on the impact on children, Beyond Good & Evil asks viewers to consider long-term consequences of simplistic thinking.
>>> What A Girl Wants -- This documentary presents, in girls' own voices, a glimpse into the powerful--and often destructive--influence corporate media have on the formation of young girls' identities. Eleven girls, aged 8 to 16 and from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds, speak honestly and openly about the sexual and body-image pressures girls encounter as they come of age in a culture that idolizes Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, and other pop stars.
