Independent Media in a Time of War (2003)

Part scathing critique, part call to action, "Independent Media In A Time Of War" is a hard-hitting new documentary by the Hudson Mohawk Independent Media Center. 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 dialogue 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." http://www.democracynow.org/static/IMIATOW.shtml AVI File Details ======================================== Name.........: Independent.Media.In.A.Time.Of.War.avi Filesize.....: 249 MB (or 255,694 KB or 261,830,656 bytes) Runtime......: 00:29:25 (52,907 fr) Video Codec..: XviD Video Bitrate: 1045 kb/s Audio Codec..: 0x0055(MP3) ID'd as MPEG-1 Layer 3 Audio Bitrate: 133 kb/s (66/ch, stereo) VBR LAME3.93 Frame Size...: 480x352 (1.36:1) [=15:11] Language.....: English
