Videocracy Synopsis

In a country where bella figura is a national pastime, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is the maestro of media manipulation. Having risen to political primacy with the aid of his Mediaset empire, he now controls 90% of the bel paese’s television channels including the state-run RAI network. Quantity, it seems, does not equal quality. Fed on a diet of semi-naked dancing girls, inane competitions and rickety reality shows built around the most ridiculous of premises, is it any wonder that Italians are becoming a nation of fame-hungry wannabes?

Videocracy (2009) is a documentary film directed by Erik Gandini, released on August 28, 2009 with a runtime of 1h 25m. It stars Silvio Berlusconi, Flavio Briatore, Fabrizio Corona and Lele Mora. Viewers rate it 6.5 out of 10 across 50 ratings.
