In response to the current Israeli offensive, The Media Education Foundation (MEF) has released their feature-length documentary Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land online for free.

Poster by Jesus Barraza

The MEF explains:

The film traces a longstanding pattern of media bias in the U.S., providing much needed context for understanding American news coverage of events in Gaza now [and] has elicited widespread praise for its clear-eyed analysis of both the conflict and the often one-sided way it has been presented to Americans over the years . . . We are taking this unprecedented step to offer critical perspective on how the U.S. news media are covering this crisis.

Watch the film here.
