Dave Hartley PowerShift, the social marketing arm of The Media Foundation,
has over the years produced numerous TV "Uncommercials". Hard-hitting and
uncompromising, they have generated debate and controversy everywhere
they've been allowed airtime, and raised awareness about issues that the
Networks are reluctant to touch on. So much so that most networks,
including CBS, NBC and ABC, often refuse point-blank to even consider
selling airtime for these messages.
Here's your chance to view what the networks (and more significantly,
their sponsors) don't want you to see. Click on the links below to read
more about each uncommercial and to download the movies. At the moment,
all movies are in Quicktime format.
