Ask ex-Senator of Virginia George Allen, the former favorite for the Republican presidential nomination. Or Hillary Clinton, target of the famed Obama Big Blue takeoff. Or Fox News, outed as a right-wing propaganda front by Robert Greenwald, MediaMatters and the bloggers in a continuing campaign to provide people with a fair and balanced view of their screeds. Or Bill O'Reilly driven to distraction by films revealing his hate politics.
Political video on the web has already demonstrated its power – and its reach. And it's only just begun. Brave New Films has helped explore this new frontier. Now it unveils a new site that will provide progressive webvideo with a home that will enable filmmakers to display their wares, gain access to an activist audience, forge alliances with groups eager to use the videos in political campaigns. As progressives build an independent infrastructure of ever greater power and sophistication, webvideo – and Brave New Films – will be an essential and growing part of it.
