Watch: Tell the Truth and Run- George Seldes and the American Press
Eighty years a newspaperman, Seldes was a noted foreign correspondent who became America's most important press critic. Through Seldes's encounters with Pershing, Lenin and Mussolini; the tobacco industry, J. Edgar Hoover and the "lords of the press," Tell The Truth and Run raises profound ethical, professional and political questions about journalism in America. Seldes at age 98 is the centerpiece of the film; remarkably engaging, witty and still impassioned about his ideas and ideals. Ralph Nader, Victor Navasky, Ben Bagdikian, Daniel Ellsberg, Nat Hentoff and Jeff Cohen, among others, provide incisive commentary. Stunning archival footage and over 500 headlines, photographs and articles provide a rich historical backdrop.
Watch: Constructing Public Opinion- How Politicians and the Media Misrepresent the Public
The media regularly use public opinion polls in their reporting of important news stories. But how exactly do they report them and to what end? In this insightful and accessible interview, Professor Justin Lewis demonstrates the way in which polling data are themselves used by the media to not just reflect what Americans think but instead to construct public opinion itself. Addressing vital issues (e.g., the role the media play in "manufacturing consent" for political elites, what polls really tell us about public opinion, what Americans actually think about politics), Constructing Public Opinion provides a new way to think about the relationship between politics, media and the public.
Watch: Toxic Sludge is Good for You- The Public Relations Industry Unspun
While advertising is the visible component of the corporate system, perhaps even more important and pervasive is its invisible partner, the public relations industry. This video illuminates this hidden sphere of our culture and examines the way in which the management of the public mind has become central to how our democracy is controlled by political and economic elites. Toxic Sludge is Good for You illustrates how much of what we think of as independent, unbiased news and information has its origins in the boardrooms of the public relations companies.

Reflections on a Politically Skeptical Era by 
Gender and American Politics by Watch: "Not Just a Game"
We’ve been told again and again that sports and politics don’t mix, that games are just games and athletes should just “shut up and play”, but according to Nation magazine sports editor, Dave Zirin, this notion is just flat-out wrong. Zirin argues that far from providing merely escapist entertainment, American sports have long been at the centre of some of the major political debates and struggles of our time.
Watch: "Perfect 36: When Women Won the Vote"
Of all the battles waged on Nashville’s doorstep, the final throes for the passage of the 19th Amendment were among the most heated, controversial and colorful. In July of 1920, all eyes were on the Tennessee capital as anti-and pro-suffragists each fought for their vision of a socially evolving United States. "Pefect 36: When Women Won the Vote" chronicles the dramatic vote to ratify this amendment, and the years of debate about women’s suffrage that preceded it.
Watch: "Marcus Garvey: A Giant of Black Politics"
Black Nationalist pioneer and First Hero of Jamaica, Marcus Garvey is discussed by contemporaries, historians, family and friends. The film traces his early successes in organizing West Indian contract labor, to the phenomenal rise of his Universal Negro Improvement Association, which took America by storm in the 20s. Garvey was a victim of his own success-he threatened the establishment enough for the FBI to infiltrate the organization. After his imprisonment he returned to Jamaica, then went to London, where he died aged 53. A giant of black politics and the key philosopher of black pride, his story is told by activist Mariamne Samad, UNIA members Roy Carson and Ruth Prescott and commentators Vivian Durham, Beverly Hamilton, Prof Rupert Lewis, Prof David Garrow and Sam Clayton.
