Over the last few years I have been a regular guest on political discussion programmes on the rapidly growing Press TV. Occasionally I am invited onto the film review show, "Cinepolitics", by the host (and film maker) Russell Michaels.
The film under review is a documentary called "Secrecy", looking at the stifling effect censorship and the creeping concept of national security have had on democracy in the USA under the former presidential regime. When this was filmed in January, there was hope that the new presidency might roll this back. However, "Secrecy" is just as pertinent now that the issue of torture and Guantanamo Bay is being addressed more openly by the media.
