Award Winning 'Independent Intervention' Licensed to Russian Broadcaster

Janson Media announced today that it has licensed the investigate documentary Independent Intervention: Breaking Silence to RT TV-Novosti, for satellite broadcast to its Russian viewers. The award-winning documentary about U.S. corporate-controlled media coverage of the Iraq War is produced by Ground Productions.

Independent Intervention: Breaking Silence is an award-winning documentary about U.S. corporate-controlled media coverage of the Iraq War. The film tells an important story that has not been fully explored until now: how the major U.S. broadcast networks, all divisions of multinational entertainment conglomerates, sanitized their presentation of the Iraq War, ignored the human suffering on the ground, and &'produced&' Operation Iraqi Freedom as a nightly entertainment show, a ratings winner, and the first &'made-for primetime war.&'

Independent Intervention captures the &'disconnect&' between the war the American people saw on their television sets and the grim realities on the ground in Iraq. The documentary features interviews with Amy Goodman, Noam Chomsky, Dahr Jamail, Danny Schechter, Norman Solomon, David Barsamian, Kalle Lasn, James Zogby and Jim Hightower. It also includes the voices of Howard Zinn, Michael Moore, Bill Moyers, Arundhati Roy, Jeremy Scahill, U.S. Senators and Iraqi citizens.
