</div><div>Brave New Films is a left-of-center media production organization that has produced feature length and short documentaries and videos. While there are broad themes in the films’ subject matter, notably what Brave New Films identifies as “social justice,” their subjects range from increasing the minimum wage to American foreign policy to accusations of voter suppression. Brave New Films often produces content which argues that there is so-called “systemic racism” that permeates American society. <span class="profile-referencesup" id="ref-1" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);

<h2> History and operations</h2>

Greenwald first moved from producing full-length films to making

online videos in fall 2006, after analyzing YouTube and judging it to be

a largely untapped opportunity for disseminating political videos.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-mediashift-2">[2]</a> In 2007, Brave New Films began to release videos in the series "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_REAL_Rudy" title="The REAL Rudy">The REAL Rudy</a>," which criticized former New York City mayor <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudy_Giuliani" title="Rudy Giuliani">Rudy Giuliani</a> before the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party%28United_States%29_presidential_primaries,2008" title="Republican Party (United States) presidential primaries, 2008" class="mw-redirect">2008 Republican Primary</a>, and "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_Attacks:_Decency" title="Fox Attacks: Decency">Fox Attacks</a>," which criticized <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News_Channel" title="Fox News Channel">Fox News Channel</a> for its unfair treatment of Democratic presidential candidate <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama" title="Barack Obama">Barack Obama</a> and coverage of sexual controversies,<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-3">[3]</a>

among other things. When John McCain announced his intention to run for

president, Brave New Films began to focus on him with its "The Real

McCain" series.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-mediashift-2">[2]</a>

Founder <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Greenwald" title="Robert Greenwald">Robert Greenwald</a></div>

</div>

In June 2008 Brave New Films was reported to have a staff of about 20 paid workers;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-nyt-4">[4]</a> by September its staff had grown to about 40.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-mediashift-2">[2]</a> The company makes most of its money through donations and fundraisers.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-mediashift-2">[2]</a> The New York Times has reported that the company had a budget of about $900,000 from donations as of June 2008.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-5">[5]</a> Greenwald himself does not take a salary.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-mediashift-2">[2]</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-nyt-4">[4]</a>

Brave New Films has its own channel on YouTube with almost 20,000 subscribers,<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-mediashift-2">[2]</a> and the company's own staff heavily promote videos by recommending them to bloggers and the mainstream media.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-mediashift-2">[2]</a> Videos are also spread through e-mail.[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research" title="Wikipedia:No original research">original research?</a>] The videos often also include petitions addressed to the media or the government, which viewers are encouraged to sign.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-6">[6]</a>

Though best known for its online videos, the company does operate in

other mediums as well. In October 2008, for example, it ran a paper

advertisement in The New York Times, calling for presidential candidate John McCain to release his health records.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-7">[7]</a> It has also produced several full-length films, including <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wal-Mart:The_High_Cost_of_Low_Price" title="Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price">Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price</a> (2005) and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_for_Sale:The_War_Profiteers" title="Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers">Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers</a> (2006). The company collaborated with documentary filmmaker <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Moore" title="Michael Moore">Michael Moore</a> to distribute his film <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slacker_Uprising" title="Slacker Uprising">Slacker Uprising</a> online.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-mediashift-2">[2]</a>

On November 23, 2009, the company celebrated its 5th Anniversary with the release of a 10-DVD box set<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-8">[8]</a> containing basically every documentary produced by the organization.

Brave New Films has also released a pair of television series entitled ACLU Freedom Files and The Sierra Club Chronicles. Brave New Films has recently formed a partnership with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Young_Turks_%28talk_show%29" title="The Young Turks (talk show)" class="mw-redirect">The Young Turks</a> and <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.grittv.org/">GritTV</a> to provide live coverage of political events via streaming video.[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>]

<h3> 2008 presidential campaign</h3>

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McCain" title="John McCain">John McCain</a> was the subject of many Brave New Films productions</div>

</div>

Brave New Films has become known for its anti-McCain videos in the "The Real McCain" series,<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-mediashift-2">[2]</a> many of which show montages of ostensibly self-contradictory comments by the senator.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-nyt-4">[4]</a> One of the first Brave New Films viral videos, a short piece criticizing Senator McCain for his praise of evangelical leader <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Parsley" title="Rod Parsley">Rod Parsley</a>, had a direct impact on the campaign, leading McCain to distance himself from Parsley.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-nyt-4">[4]</a>

Another video has been credited as playing a role in sparking a "media

blow-up" over the number of houses McCain was said to own.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-9">[9]</a>

<h2> Reception</h2>

The company has been criticized by popular conservative website <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Air" title="Hot Air" class="mw-redirect">Hot Air</a>, which called Greenwald a "propagandist."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-10">[10]</a> It has also received complaints from representatives of talk show host <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Savage_%28commentator%29" title="Michael Savage (commentator)" class="mw-redirect">Michael Savage</a>,

who in October 2008 accused Brave New Films of infringing on copyright

with its use of clips from Savage's show and asked YouTube to remove the

video from Brave New Films' channel.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-11">[11]</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-12">[12]</a>

On the other hand, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a> has cited Brave New Films as an example of the growing influence the Internet is having in American politics.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-nyt-4">[4]</a> As of October 2008, Brave New Films has produced as many as 300 videos,<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-13">[13]</a> which have accumulated millions of views on sites such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube" title="YouTube">YouTube</a>.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-nyt-4">[4]</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_Films#cite_note-alternet-14">[14]</a>
