I've been bugged to watch this series on youtube/ thewakeuproject.com for sometime. In between work, I've had the chance to comb through some of the videos posted by the group.
The series examine the media's manipulation and influence on us through using the Quran as a platform to proove that there are a group of people out there who are yelding society to their own way of thinking. No surprises there. Check out PBS, "The Persuaders" as a reference.
Personally, I feel that the investigation of the ideas is a bit too shallow and amateur. A few points to consider:
1/ Lack of media literacy
2/ Contact watchdogs in Industry
At best, it's a rough draft and the makers need to do a lot more than bring footage together. If "The 99" can make it then perhaps this has a chance at becoming something huge.
Great points highlight that Disney is Satan alongside it's byproducts, Britney and Christina Aguilera.
