Silver Screen War Machine

KPFA - Project Censored

This week’s show presents excerpts from a recent panel discussion about the “Military-Entertainment Complex.” Inspired by the documentary “Theaters of War,” the panelists examined the remarkable extent of Pentagon / CIA
influence over movies, television, and computer games, and its aim of molding the attitudes of Americans about the military as well as U.S. behavior in the world. The panel was co-sponsored by the Media Education Foundation and Project Censored, and moderated by Mickey Huff.

Roger Stahl is Professor of Communication at the University of Georgia, and the director of “Theaters of War.”

Robin Anderson is Professor Emerita of Media Studies at Fordham University.

Fatooma Saad is a doctoral student in Communications at Wayne State University, and formerly a Marine Corps corporal assigned to public relations.
