Star Suckers: The Media That Markets The World

Out of Britain comes the newest work by documentary impresario Chris Atkins. The film, entitled Star Suckers, takes a humorously scathing look at the politics of fame and, interestingly enough, how it has has a vice grip on politics... and commerce, society, children, global health, and essentially everything in between.   

This trailer was found via the friends we love at Friends We Love, as was a real-life news exerpt about the lengths to which the film's producers experimented with media manipulation during the making of the film. Good stuff all around after the jump.
