At 5:30 pm on Feb. 22, the Sheldon Museum of Art, 12th and R streets, will screen the award-winning documentary “Trust Me.” The feature-length documentary explores how media technology influences society and what we can do about it.
Following the screening, Civic Nebraska’s director of public policy Heidi Uhing will lead a Q&A with filmmaker Rosemary Smith, managing director of the Getting Better Foundation, which produced the film. “Trust Me” features stories from around the world where a lack of media literacy devolved into crises. Interviews from world-renowned experts explain why people are drawn to sensational and negative news, and how commercial media often capitalizes on our biases along with their opinions.
