More about the book
Exploring the intersection of Hollywood and politics, Matthew Alford argues that the film industry is complicit in promoting regressive corporate and political interests, despite its left-liberal image. Through analysis of various films, including blockbusters and supposedly radical works, he reveals how they often serve to support U.S. military agendas and reinforce American global dominance. "Reel Power" is a groundbreaking examination of Hollywood as a politicized industry, highlighting the contradictions within its progressive narratives and the underlying systems that perpetuate state violence.
