Social Studies, Part I: Horizontes

Lyn Blumenthal

1983 | 00:20:00 | United States | English | Color | 4:3 | Video

Collection: Single Titles

Tags: Feminism, Gender, Politics

Horizontes incorporates scenes from a popular Cuban soap opera with running commentary in the form of a propagandistic advertising text. Blumenthal examines media programming as presenting, through the filter of a generalized moralism, a reconstructed history that mirrors the values of the dominant class. The media both "collects and corrects public memory."

Available in Spanish and English.
