Dans l’ombre de Berlusconi (The Revolution Will Be Televised – The Men Who Made Berlusconi)

How can television durably reshape a country’s political culture? In the 1980s, a silent revolution took place in Italy; not through the ballot box or in the streets, but through television. From the rise of Fininvest to Silvio Berlusconi’s political debuts, The Revolution Will be Televised investigates how private televisions transformed the public’s relationship to information, power, and democracy. Through firsthand accounts from those who built this system like Marcello dell’Utri, Giancarlo Galan or Carlo Freccero, the film reveals how entertainment, advertising, and media concentration paved the way for a new political era in Europe.
