Amy Goodman’s film Independent Media in a Time of War depicts the corporate media’s coverage of the 2003 Iraq War. The US media focused on glorifying military combat while downplaying the amount of civilian casualties. Goodman also focuses on the ethics of journalism. She believes that journalists should do what they can do figure out the facts, question those in power and ask questions that no one has asked before. Goodman presents the audience with the question of the possible impact of the media industry on journalism and democracy.
