Fear and Favor in the News Room:. This amazing film shows how ownership of the press by a small corporate elite constricts the free flow of ideas and information upon which our democracy depends. Journalists, including four Pulitzer Prize winners, from The New York Times, NBC, PBS and other news organizations reveal how they have been censored, squelched or fired for aggressively reporting on the wealthy and the powerful. This film shows the extent to which corporations control and manipulate the mass media for their own interests. 55 minutes
Fury for the Sound: This documentary chronicles the legendary grassroots movement to protect the old growth forests of Clayoquot Sound on Vancouver Island. The film, first conceived by Shelley Wine while sitting in jail for committing civil disobedience, has been wowing film festival audiences across North America. Fury for the Sound shows how ordinary citizens can come together to affect change. Much more than an environmental film, it is a passionate and moving call to action. 52 minutes
