This series consists of the following videos:

>>> Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear & the Selling of American Empire -- This update of the critically-acclaimed documentary features the theatrical version of the film, along with ten new post-election interviews with prominent political observers on topics ranging from the 2004 presidential campaign to the Democratic Party's struggle to define itself in a time of war.

>>> Constructing Public Opinion: How Politicians & the Media Misrepresent the Public --The media regularly use public opinion polls in their reporting of important news stories. But how exactly do they report them and to what end? In this insightful and accessible interview, Professor Justin Lewis demonstrates the way in which polling data are themselves used by the media to not just reflect what Americans think but instead to construct public opinion itself.

>>> Giroux: Culture, Politics and Pedagogy --An active citizen, says the prolific and influential Henry Giroux, is "somebody who has the capacity not only to understand and engage the world but to transfom it when necessary, and to believe that he or she can do that." In this provocative new interview, Giroux speaks with passion about the inextricable links between education, civic engagement, and social justice.

>>> Rich Media, Poor Democracy --Featuring Robert McChesney, this video connects the decline of journalism to the profit motives of the mega-corporations that own the media. Based on McChesney's award-winning book, Rich Media, Poor Democracy questions how media policy decisions get made, examines the way our media system affects news coverage, and offers suggestions for reclaiming our media - asking if there is a connection between independent, public media and a vibrant healthy democracy.

>>> Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land --This pivotal video exposes how the foreign policy interests of American political elites--working in combination with Israeli public relations strategies--exercise a powerful influence over news reporting about the Middle East conflict. Combining American & British TV news clips and interviews with analysts, journalists, and activists, Peace, Propaganda, & the Promised Land exposes frequently biased, pro-Israeli reporting and how it shapes American perceptions.
