Filmmaker and political activist Robert Greenwald is the director/producer of "Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers" (2006), an expose of what happens when corporations go to war; as well as "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price" (2005), detailing the retail giant's assault on families and American values; and "Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism" (2004), about the right-wing opinion factory known as Fox "News." Millions of viewers have seen these films via grassroots "house parties" and independent online DVD sales, a groundbreaking method of alternative distribution.
Greenwald also executive produced a trilogy of political documentaries: "Unprecedented: The 2000 Election" (2002); "Uncovered: The War on Iraq" (2003), which he also directed; and "Unconstitutional" (2004).

The filmmaker's latest undertaking, a series of short viral videos, includes "Fox Attacks: Obama" and "The Real McCain," which were seen online by more than 700,000 people within weeks of distribution.
Brave New Films, Greenwald's new media company, uses moving images to educate, influence, and empower viewers to take action around issues that matter. Brave New Films released the "The Big Buy: Tom DeLay's Stolen Congress" in May of 2006 and recently produced two TV series: "ACLU Freedom Files" and "The Sierra Club Chronicles" – which can be seen on Link TV, Court TV (ACLU) and via the internet.

Prior to his documentary work, Greenwald produced and/or directed more than 50 television movies, miniseries and feature films, including: "The Book of Ruth" (2004), based on the bestselling book by Jane Hamilton; "The Crooked E: The Unshredded Truth About Enron" (2003); "The Burning Bed," starring Farrah Fawcett as an abused housewife; "Shattered Spirits", starring Martin Sheen, about alcoholism; and "Forgotten Prisoners", about the work of Amnesty International.
Greenwald also produced and directed the feature film, "Steal This Movie," starring Vincent D'Onofrio as 60's radical Abbie Hoffman, as well as "Breaking Up," starring Russell Crowe and Salma Hayek.

Greenwald's films have garnered 25 Emmy nominations, four cable ACE Award nominations, two Golden Globe nominations, the Peabody Award, the Robert Wood Johnson Award, and eight Awards of Excellence from the Film Advisory Board.
