Deadly Deception: General Electric, Nuclear Weapons, and Our Environment
|
""
MORE ABOUT THE FILM
|
Deadly Deception juxtaposes GE's rosy "We Bring Good Things To Life" commercials with the true stories of workers and neighbors whose lives have been devastated by the company's involvement in building and testing nuclear bombs. These tragic stories are answered by the inspiring activism of the GE Boycott, a grassroots campaign run by corporate accountability organization, Corporate Accountability International, to pressure GE out of the nuclear weapons industry. Nine months after this powerful video won an Oscar in 1992, the corporate giant did indeed pull out of the deadliest business of all. Ideal for classes on business ethics, advertising, environmental issues, the arms race, media literacy, and community organizing.

REVIEWS "You'll never again be able to calmly view a GE commercial after watching this compelling video....a sickening and powerful story of 45 years of lies and corporate crime." "A meticulous polemic that does to General Electric what Roger & Me did to General Motors." "Chilling...enlightening...sharp...succinct." "Investigative reporting at its highest level." "It's ludicrous [for G.E.] to say that after this film won an Academy Award that this had nothing to do with the [company's] decision to leave the business three months later. To say it was coincidence stretches the imagination."
