Film Description
This Academy Award nominated biopic of muckraking journalist George Seldes is a piercing look at censorship and suppression in the media.
80 years a newspapersman, Seldes became America's most important press critic. Through Seldes's encounters with Lenin and Mussolini, the tobacco industry, J. Edgar Hoover and "The Lords of the Press," Tell the Truth and Run raises profound ethical, professional and political questions about America's news media. Seldes at 98 is witty and still impassioned about his ideas and ideals. With Ralph Nader, Ben Bagdikian, Daniel Ellsberg and Jeff Cohen of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR).
