Summary
Journalism has become an integral feature of modern war, but during the Russian-Georgian conflict it was propaganda more than information that dominated the Russian press. This documentary exposes Russia's abuse of mass media in reporting on what really happened during the 2008 South Ossetia conflict. When channel CCTV let citizens know that "the military was forced to undertake police actions to keep order," it was Georgian civilians who were desperately trying maintain calm as Russian soldiers were looting local neighborhoods. Worse yet, many of the images transmitted had already been broadcast before any TV crews had arrived in Georgia - CCTV simply used old footage, or staged scenes, without letting viewers know. The video also argues that media control during the Georgian war is symptomatic of massive corruption within the Russian government.
