(English) While advertising is clearly a visible component of the corporate system, perhaps even more important and pervasive is the often-invisible partner -- the public relations industry. Toxic Sludge Is Good For You illuminates this hidden sphere of corpocracy, examining the way in which the management of the 'public mind' has become central to how society is usurped and controlled by political and economic elites. The film tracks the development of the PR industry from its early efforts to win popular support for World War I, to the role of crisis management in controlling the damage to corporate image; while analysing the tools public relations professionals use to shift public perceptions.

Could a media system, controlled by a few global corporations with the ability to overwhelm all competing voices, be able to turn lies into truth?

Have we entered an Orwellian world of doublespeak where outright lies can pass for the truth?

(English) The Daily Mirror used to be a peoples' paper that respected its readers and earned trust and affection. But that changed out of all recognition when the British public were told that the new information technology, heralded by The Sun's move to Wapping, would bring a greater variety of newspapers and a more diverse media. Instead, what happened was rapid moves toward contracted press controlled by ever fewer proprietors. John Pilger describes the downfall of his old paper and the all-pervasive influence of Rupert Murdoch...
