You may have heard recently about what is being called the return of political cinema, following recent releases such as Munich and The Constant Gardener. So today I’m going to look at what political cinema is, and give a little overview of the history of political film making in Hollywood. First of all, what do I mean by political cinema, or political films? To me, the terms refer to films that make people aware of political or social situations. To give a recent example, the film Hotel Rwanda caused many people to take notice of the political situation in Rwanda for perhaps the first time. The dramatic imagery of film can often be far more powerful than news reports. For many, the heyday of political film making was the 1970s. Watergate, the Vietnam War, and mainstream actors with social consciences such as Jane Fonda, Robert Redford and Warren Beatty, made for - a number of political films.
