Robert Greenwald

Robert Greenwald is a producer, director and political activist. Greenwald is the founder and president of Brave New Films, a new media company that uses moving images to educate, influence, and empower viewers to take action around issues that matter. Under Greenwald's direction, Brave New Films has produced a series of short political videos, including the Fox Attacks and Real McCain campaigns. One of the more notable Real McCain videos focused on McCain's Mansions; after Brave New Films produced this video, McCain notoriously said he was not sure how many houses he owned and a media firestorm ensued. In total, Brave New Film's short videos have been viewed over 40 million times in the past two years, inspired hundreds of thousands of people to take action and forced pressing issues into the mainstream media.

Greenwald's latest documentary, "Rethink Afghanistan," is a skeptical view of America’s war strategies.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, WHATEVER.
Greenwald's most important contribution to film - nay, the wooooorld - is THIS.

Because everything's better on roller skates.

  3. By "Russia," do you mean "the old Bush administration?"

    Cuz, they sound IDENTICAL.

    And if, by "USA 'Mainstream media'," you mean, "FOX News," then YOU ARE CORRECT, sir!

  4. Erin, I'm sure Mr. Greenwald would MUCH prefer we focus on his current projects. I try, but I'm distracted by the roller skates! The soundtrack! The shoulder pads! The awesome choreography! (And by "awesome," I mean "ridiculously, horribly AWESOME!!")

    P.S. I have two friends in NC. It's beyond beautiful all year long. And, omigod, the gardening starts so early and ends so late. *jealous sigh*

    And the people! The accent! The Southern-ness! The mint juleps! The food! Dear God, the food.... *even longer,feeling sorry for self sigh*

    Good luck, keep writing and keep in touch, K?

    See, the thing about "satire" is it's usually funny and supposed to be witty.

    You use a nice font.
