Trailer: Erik Gandini’s Videocracy

Imagine if Ted Turner or Rupert Murdoch had become president of the United States and they had an interest in putting bikini clad women on the airwaves. I think you could argue that this is the path that media mogul, and Italy’s president Silvio Berlusconi choose, and I guess becomes the focal point for Erik Gandini’s Videocracy. The documentary film has the disinction of being selected for both the Venice and TIFF fests this coming August/September. Gandini’s last docu was Gitmo, an incendiary look at those who did the torturing in Guantanamo. I imagine Gandini will serve up a dish that might make a couple of people blush in shades of red.
