Covering cinematic portrayals of 9/11 and the subsequent incursions into Iraq and Afghanistan, Post-9/11 Cinema: Through a Lens Darkly examines both dramas and documentaries that depict what some have termed "Bush's war," as well as rebuttal films, films about terrorist activities, and films seen from the vantage point of journalists and military personnel. This book not only shows how motion pictures reflect societal values but also how such works can influence social attitudes and thus promote change. In addition, Markert appraises the film industry and critiques how images are manipulated to sway the viewer to appreciate the side being advocated.
