I'm a big fan of agitprop - was introduced to it in college when I studied 20th century theater and was tutored on the work of Bertolt Brecht, absolutely fell in love with the artform and the message behind the medium. This week I was shown the following film, a magnificent agitprop work that focuses on the network news coverage of the Gulf War. - It's about eighteen minutes, so go get a drink and some popcorn and enjoy:
I enjoyed watching this combination of images and sounds. It is a good jumping off point for discussion about the role of media in the United States.
