Docs, Blogs & the Changing Politics of America

Recent advances in digital technology have enabled an upsurge in independent and maverick political discourse accessible to large American audiences. From the unprecedented success of Fahrenheit 9/11 and other digital docs to the phenomenon of bloggers crowding the presidential conventions, this past year has featured a reinvigorated social discourse not seen for nearly a generation. But what has emerged from all the noise? Was the outcome of the 2004 election affected? Have the fundamental dynamics of media and politics changed? Now that there are more ways than ever to influence the political process and make your voice heard, what are the strategies for marketing your message? Moderated by Andy Bowers of National Public Radio and Slate.com.

Note: no ticket is required for this event.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
