Saturday, November 6th @ 7:00
p.m. – Cinema & Supper presents
director Robert Kane Pappas’ “Orwell
Rolls in His Grave” (2004).
Reviewers call it the consummate critical examination of the Fourth Estate*,
once the bastion of American democracy. Asking whether America has entered an
Orwellian world of doublespeak where outright lies can pass for the truth,
Pappas explores what the news media don’t like to talk about: Themselves.
Meticulously tracing the process by which the news media have distorted and
often dismissed actual news events, Pappas presents a riveting and eloquent mix
of media professionals and leading intellectual voices on the subject.
*The term "Fourth Estate" refers
to the press, both in its explicit capacity of advocacy and in its implicit
ability to frame political issues. The term goes back at least to Thomas
Carlyle.
Please
make reservations for Cinema & Supper by email or telephone no later than
12:00 noon on the Thursday before the event.
Admission for Dinner:
Members - $12.00, Non-Members - $18.00. If you plan to attend only the
movie portion of the evening, we would still appreciate reservations.
