Shadows of Liberty* full documentary

* Reveals the extraordinary money and power behind the news media dictating censorship, cover‐ups, and corporate control.

Filmmaker Jean‐Philippe Tremblay takes an intrepid journey through the dark corridors of the American media landscape where global conglomerates call the shots. For decades their overwhelming influence has distorted journalism and compromised its values.
