What happened to the mainstream media? Shadows of Liberty surveys the scorched earth of media ownership and how the far reaching influence of media conglomerates has been exercised to extraordinary political, social and economic lengths. Juxtaposing the public battle for truth and democracy with new media monopolisation in corporate America this authoritative documentary both exposes and examines a broken system through revealing interviews, archive materials and explosive insider information. As freedom of information is increasingly diminished by the interests of big business and its escalating profit margins the consequences are dramatic and for new media like the internet the threat is sooner than later.
