Trent Lott

Meticulously tracing the process by which media has distorted and often dismissed actual news events, this film presents a riveting and eloquent mix of media professionals and leading intellectual voices on the media. Among Pappas’ subjects in Orwell Rolls In His Grave are Charles Lewis, director of the Center for Public Integrity, Robert McChesney, media historian and author, Vincent Bugliosi, former L.A. prosecutor and legal scholar, film director Michael Moore, Rep. Bernie Sanders, Danny Schechter, former producer for ABC and CNN, and Tony Benn, formerly of the British Parliament.
