'This film is composed of a speech given by Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now! illustrated by clips of mainstream media juxtaposed with rare footage from independent reporters in Iraq. The documentary argues that dialog is vital to a healthy democracy. "Independent media has a crucial responsibility to go to where the silence is," says Amy Goodman, "to represent the diverse voices of people engaged in dissent." She makes a compelling argument that the commercial news media have failed to represent the "true face of war."'

4. i learned a lot

i didn't already know. and i've been getting my news from the internet since way before the war began. the thing is there are so very many egregious wrongs, so many horror stories, so much news being censored away from the people who are dense or dumb enough to trust it.
