[SDCPJ] Sat. Aug. 29, 7pm ~ "Militainment Inc." - Activist San Diego Film Series


Activist San Diego Film Series Presents
Militainment Inc.
Saturday August 29th, 7:00pm
 Joyce Beers Community Center

located at 1220 Cleveland Ave. in Hillcrest.

Militainment, Inc. offers a fascinating, disturbing, and timely glimpse into the militarization of American popular culture, examining how U.S. news coverage has come to resemble Hollywood film, video games, and "reality television" in its glamorization of war.

Mobilizing an astonishing range of media examples from news anchors' idolatry of military machinery to the impact of government propaganda on war reporting the film asks: How has war taken its place in the culture as an entertainment spectacle? And how does presenting war as entertainment affect the ability of citizens to evaluate the necessity and real human costs of military action?
