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.

>>> Beyond Good and 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. Focusing on the impact on such rhetoric and imagery on children, this video examines how this "good and evil" narrative shapes our perceptions of, and response to, conflict.

>>> Beyond the Frame: Alternative Perspectives on the War on Terrorism -- This DVD compilation offers a series of stand-alone interviews with some of the most prominent scholars, experts, and activists in political and social thought that critique mainstream media's coverage of the war on terrorism.

>>> Independent Media In A Time of War-- In this important, powerful, and timely lecture, Amy Goodman--independent journalist and host of the popular radio show Democracy Now!--speaks about the corporate media's coverage of the U.S. invastion of Iraq.

>>> Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land: U.S. Media & the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict -- This critically acclaimed video exposes how the foreign policy interests of American political elites--working in combination with Israeli public relations strategies--exercise a powerful influence over new coverage of the Middle East conflict.

>>> War Made Easy: How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death -- War Made Easy exposes how presidential administrations of both parties have relied on a combination of deception and media complicity to sell one war after another to the American people. Narrated by actor Sean Penn, and based on the acclaimed book by Norman Solomon, the film exhumes five decades of remarkable archival footage to reveal in stunning detail how the American news media have uncritically disseminated and glamorized the pro-war messages of successive presidential administrations.

>>> Militainment, Inc.: Militarism & Pop Culture -- This video offers a fascinating, disturbing, and timely glimpse into the militarization of American popular culture, examining how U.S. news coverage has come to resemble Hollywood film, video games, and "reality television" in its glamorization of war.

>>> Blood & Oil: The Dangers & Consequences of America's Dependence on Foreign Petroleum -- With clarity and urgency, Blood & Oil transcends partisan politics to show how six decades of failed government policy have increased America's dependence on foreign oil and made its energy and defense policies virtually interchangeable. Against the grain of leaders and pundits who have dismissed and belittled claims that the U.S. has sacrificed the lies of its troops and countless others around the world to feed its oil habit, the film exposes a fundamental connection between diminishing global petroleum supplies, skyrocketing rates of global consumption, and successive American wars and military interventions.
Please note: Blood & Oil is currently in production and is scheduled to be released late Fall 2007.
