  Trailer


  Synopsis

Shadows of Liberty reveals the extraordinary truth behind 
the news media: censorship, cover-ups and corporate control.

Filmmaker Jean-Philippe Tremblay takes a journey through the darker 
corridors of the US media, where global conglomerates call the shots. 
For decades, their overwhelming influence has distorted news journalism 
and compromised its values.

In highly revealing stories, renowned journalists, activists and 
academics give insider accounts of a broken media system. Controversial 
news reports are suppressed, people are censored for speaking out, and 
lives are shattered as the arena for public expression is turned into a 
private profit zone.

Tracing the story of media manipulation through the years, Shadows of 
Liberty poses a crucial question: why have we let a handful of powerful 
corporations write the news? Media reform is urgent and freedom of the 
press is fundamental.
