Student shot and produced, United States of Distraction: Fighting The
Fake News Invasion chronicles critical media literacy and faculty
experts, students, and media makers whom provide contextual analysis for
understanding the current rise of the so-called “fake news” phenomenon.
In addition to deconstructing fake news, the film reminds us that this
is not a new development, but rather, a form of propaganda. The
interviews provided in the film offer solutions for mitigating the
pernicious influence of false content on America’s democratic
institutions. Edited narrated by Abby Martin.
