Controversial news reports are suppressed, people are censored for speaking out, and lives are shattered in Shadows of Liberty, a bold new documentary screening free today at 5:30p at the AFL-CIO. The film is “dedicated to the journalists and information freedom fighters, the heroes of our time, who dedicate their lives to our right to freedom of information - the central pillar of a free society.” Providing a platform for voices that have been silenced, Shadows of Liberty attempts to inspire change and accountability, championing the idea of “an independent media where truth and integrity are the norm, not the exception.” Check out the film’s trailer: here. Sponsors include the AFL-CIO, the DC Labor FilmFest and the Washington-Baltimore Newspaper Guild.
