Friday Night At the Meaningful Movies presents: "OREWELL ROLLS IN HIS GRAVE"
"Orwell Rolls In His Grave" (103 min, Robert Kane Pappas, 2003). Are Americans being given the information a democracy needs to survive or have they been electronically lobotomized? Have we entered an Orwellian world of doublespeak where outright lies can pass for the truth, 1984 is no longer a date in the future. ORWELL ROLLS IN HIS GRAVE provides a vital forum for ideas that will never be heard in mainstream media. Meticulously tracing the process by which media has distorted and often dismissed actual news events, Director Robert Kane Pappas presents a riveting and eloquent mix of media professionals and leading intellectual voices on the media.
FACILITATED DISCUSSION FOLLOWS.

Friday Night At the Meaningful Movies presents: “KILLING US SOFTLY III”
"Killing Us Softly III" (34 min, Jean Kilbourne, Sut Jhally, 2000). Does advertising still objectify women's bodies? Are images of male violence against women still used to sell products? Does the beauty ideal still tyrannize women? In this important new film, Jean Kilbourne reviews if and how the image of women in advertising has changed over the last 20 years. Deconstructing advertisements with the same kind of care and thought that went into constructing them, this film sets mass media images of femininity against social reality, advertising fantasy against the actual experience of girls and women, and encourages us to consider the relationship between the stories advertising tells about girls and women and the actual lives girls and women lead.
