Anti-war documentary takes aim at US corporate greed

by Emily Clark last modified Apr 30, 2010 08:06 AM
To coincide with the 6th anniversary of the US invasion and occupation of Iraq on 19 March 2009, Alexandra Juhasz launched the website for her anti-war documentary – SCALE: Measuring Might in the Media Age (2008). This quirky feminist documentary plays out the drama of two leftist sisters (Antonia and Alexandra) against the big stage of US empire, corporate greed, and media escalation.
Anti-war documentary takes aim at US corporate greed

SCALE: Measuring Might in the Media Age (2008)

Once, not so long ago (2006) – a time of illicit war, unchecked corporate greed, and a presidential regime that supported such indecencies – two sisters took the media into their own hands seeking change. Antonia wrote The Bush Agenda, a big book for a mainstream publisher about people's vs corporate power, and then she went on a corporate book tour.

Alex documented her sister’s ‘scale-shift,’ following Antonia’s ups and downs on the road with her small camcorder and a crew of activists, to make the documentary video SCALE.

Divisions and connections between the sisters mirror those within the left itself, as the sisters experience the power and tensions of individual action, collaboration, media attention, and grassroots movements for social justice.
