Media
Media permeates our lives through an ever increasing variety of sources: television, print media, radio, the internet. Who controls what we can see, hear, and access? And what does that control do to our understanding of our world, and our right to engage it on our own terms without the threat of censorship, manipulation, or sanitization of the information? In the MEDIA Bullfrog Community, we'll explore and discuss the implications of a world saturated with information and entertainment, and how this affects both our lives and our civil liberties.
Host a screening today to find out what's at stake, and how you can help.
