orwell rolls in his grave
If you care about and lament the death of democracy or why we're not stopping this
wretched war, please see this obelisk of a documentary.

American has entered an Orwellian era where outright lies pass for truth. This documentary's
presentation of that fact is dead on; the sources reliable and seasoned. Those interviewed are
plain-speaking communicators who resist the "kids gloves" approach/denial to the fascist, perilous
dilemma that menaces our fragile democracy, and, inevitably, civilization and the fate of our species.
You'll be thinking about this film for a long time.

From Philly.com (The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Philadelphia Daily News):

If you are a

eft-leaning conspiracy theorist, you will

LOVE this documentary about

the

Bush

administration

double-speak and corporate media control.

If you are a Right-leaning supporter of the president,

right-or-wrong, you'll hate this film. You'll

probably try

to have it banned.

But if you're somewhere in the middle, as probably

most of you are, you

will

find "Orwell Rolls in His

Grave" fascinating and disturbing.

Using George Orwell's classic "1984" as a jumping-off

point, Robert Kane Pappas takes dead aim at

big

media's "merger" with the Bush administration to

create a new Ministry of Truth.

In "1984," Big Brother wants its subjects to believe

"War is peace," "Ignorance is strength" and

"Thought

crime is death." ?Kane Pappas wants you to believe

the

opposite

that a democracy is better

served by

open

debate, a free exchange of ideas and news-

gathering

organizations out to serve the

societal good

instead of

corporate greed.

Mission Accomplished.
