• Orwell Rolls In His Grave, courtesy Go Kart Films
Director Robert Kane Pappas' film is the consummate critical examination of the Fourth Estate, once the bastion of American democracy.

Meticulously tracing the process by which media has distorted and often dismissed actual news events, Pappas presents a riveting and eloquent mix of media professionals and leading intellectual voices on the media.
