The Media Drop

Cinema Libre Studio, the same group who recently distributed “Outfoxed,” the film that was critical of FOX News, has announced it is releasing Danny Schechter’s “WMD: Weapons of Mass Deception,” to theatres later this year. “WMD” covers the media’s coverage of the war in Iraq, and how it presented Americans with misconceptions about what was “really” going on in order to get big ratings. The film has taken home multiple awards this year, including “Best Documentary Feature” at the Austin Film Festival, “First Place Documentary” in August at the Detroit Motor City International Film Festival, and the “Jury Award for Best Documentary” at this year’s Film Fest New Haven.
