Social and political

The media of film and television have long been used to illustrate and promote social and political issues and serve as a direct political campaigning tool by all sections of the political spectrum. Films and programmes in this category tackle issues such as housing, health, unemployment, war, the lives of leading political figures, television news coverage of daily political and social issues, and government propaganda.
