Description

Independent journalists like Amy Goodman, Glenn Greenwald, Jeremy Scahill, and Matt Taibbi are changing the face of journalism, providing investigative, adversarial alternatives to mainstream, corporate news outlets. Our cameras follow as they expose government and corporate deception – just as the ground-breaking independent journalist I.F. Stone did decades ago.

This film will change the way you look at the mainstream media or “MSM”. Giant media conglomerates are increasingly reluctant to investigate or criticize government policies — particularly on defense, security and intelligence issues.

With government deception rampant, and intrusion of state surveillance into private life never more egregious, independent voices like Greenwald, Scahill and Goodman are crucially important. Stone is little known today, but "All Governments Lie" will reveal the profound influence he’s had on contemporary independent journalists.
