“Weapons of Mass Deception,” a film from media critic Danny Schechter, plays at Dobie Theater. The Chicago Reader says “Veteran independent media analyst Danny Schechter presents a comprehensive and devastating critique of the TV news networks’ complacency and complicity in the war on Iraq. The video begins with a parody of Apocalypse Now that’s as funny as anything by Michael Moore, but Schechter means business, and this quickly turns to a rigorous dissection of economic and political factors that have turned our major media outlets into conduits for Pentagon ‘militainment’.”
Location: Dobie Theater, 21st and Guadalupe. Showtimes and ticket
information available from theater.
