Information Is Power
Description
Communication is the vital ingredient in building civilization. The ability to share complicated ideas allowed early man to hunt, farm and create communities. This documentary covers the development of written language and the alphabet; far reaching political consequences of the printing press; and how photography and film bring about social justice. It also includes discussions about information empowering American colonial settlers to rebel against British rule, and images of atrocities forcing an end to genocide in the Belgian Congo.
