POLIWOOD

 

Documentary Feature
Screen Media Films; Directed by Barry Levinson
Not Rated; 90 minutes; 2009

 
Director Barry Levinson provides a filmed essay on the ways American lives have changed because of television. His focus is on the Creative Coalition, a non-partisan organization of celebrities that focuses on issues such as arts education. Over the course of the film, Levinson brings up a number of related issues: the power of photos and video footage to convey a story we think is true, even if it's not the whole story; the perception of Hollywood as overwhelmingly liberal; the increasing blurring of the lines between politics and celebrity on television; the ways in which television has affected politics and politicians and the role of TV news in the increased political polarization in America.
