DESCRIPTION:Shiny Object and Fools Foundation present a special screening of "Orwell 
 Rolls in His Grave" on Friday Dec. 8 at Fools Foundation.\n\nThe consummate 
 critical examination of the Fourth Estate, once the bastion of American 
 democracy. Asking whether America has entered an Orwellian world of 
 doublespeak where outright lies can pass for the truth, Robert Pappas 
 explores what the media doesn't like to talk about: itself. 
 \n\nMeticulously tracing the process by which media has distorted and often 
 dismissed actual news events, Pappas presents a riveting and eloquent mix 
 of media professionals and leading intellectual voices on the media. 
 \n\nAmong the cast of characters in "Orwell Rolls in His Grave" are Charles 
 Lewis, director of the Center for Public Integrity; Robert McChesney , 
 Professor, University of Illinois; Greg Palast, Investigative Journalist; 
 Peter Mitchelmore, Former Editor of the New York Post; Jeff Cohen, Founder 
 of FAIR; Vincent Bugliosi, former L.A. prosecutor and legal scholar; Mark 
 Crispin Miller; Author, Professor, New York University;  film director and 
 author Michael Moore; Rep. Bernie Sanders; Danny Schecter; author and 
 former producer for ABC and CNN.\n\nOn this night, we plan to have out 
 representatives from Public Access and Common Cause.  We are working on 
 confirmations for indymedia and Free Speech TV and possibly some others for 
 a brief presentation involving local alternative media options and media 
 reform, as well as to be available to speak with folks!  You definitely 
 want to come out for this!\n\n"A marvel of passionate succinctness... if 
 its biting analysis proves true, film is unlikely to ever be presented to 
 the general public.   The conviction and punch of the interviewees' 
 commentary never becomes tedious." - Variety\n\n"Enlightening, at times 
 disturbing, and always provocative" - L.A. Times\n\n"Vivid and 
 distressing... a deeply fascinating must-see for anyone interested in the 
 slow morphing of news into mind-numbingly faux-informative entertainment." 
 - Entertainment Today\n\n"The most chilling of all new-wave political 
 documentaries" - Seattle Post Intelligencer\n\n"The pattern that's 
 documented in "Orwell Rolls In His Grave" should upset anyone who relies on 
 TV, radio and newspapers for their news and information. " - San Francisco 
 Chronicle\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2006/11/13/18329489.php
