Robert Greenwald

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Greenwald (born August 28, 1945 in New York, New York) is an American film director and producer.

Greenwald is often described as progressive or left-wing and is closely aligned with Moveon.org. In his documentaries he has tackled some of the biggest subjects of the day, including the war in Iraq. His 2004 film, Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism, was described by Wired as "a unique sleeper hit". His previous films include Steal This Movie, about Abbie Hoffman.

In November 2004, he co-founded Brave New Films, and since May 2005 has been a contributing blogger at The Huffington Post.
