Theaters of War
Shines a light on the little-known control that the Department of Defense and the CIA exert on films, television and cable series, and documentaries in exchange for military hardware, locations, personnel, and technical advising. A powerful and well-researched expose of the government forces at work behind thousands of otherwise innocuous entertainment productions. The filmmakers ask tough questions about a veritable propaganda machine that routinely fetishizes American military excesses in vehicles marketed as simply the newest DC, Marvel, or Transformers installment, and extends to product placement on The Rachael Ray Show. They make the compelling argument that the public deserves to know the scope of impact so that they can decide whether or not to watch productions shaped by the national security state.
