Resistance Centre, Level 5, 407 Swanston St, Melbourne (opposite RMIT).
A powerful and timely investigation into the media's role in war, tracing the history of 'embedded' and independent reporting from the carnage of World War I to the destruction of Hiroshima; from the invasion of Vietnam to the current war and disasters in Iraq and Afghanistan. As weapons and propaganda become even more sophisticated, the nature of war is developing into an 'electronic battlefield' in which journalists play a key role and civilians are the victims.
