Description by Studio

The media claim to be "against-power." Yet the vast majority of newspapers, radio and television stations are owned by industrial or financial groups closely linked to power. In a tiny scope ideological multiply the information pre-chewed, stakeholders permanent, the reputations undue clashes dummy and back-scratching.

In 1932, writer Paul Nizan published The watchdogs to denounce the philosophers and writers of his time who, under the guise of neutrality intellectual needed in real guardians of the established order.

Today, the watchdogs are journalists, columnists, media experts, evangelists open market and become guardians of social order. The sardonic mode, NEW WATCHDOGS denounces this press, claiming independent, objective and pluralistic claims against-democratic power. With force and precision, the film points to the growing threat of information produced by large industrial groups of the CAC40 and perverted into a commodity.
