Tagged: Dental, documentary, Film, pbsPosted on: May 3rd, 2007“Latino advocacy organizations upset about filmmaker Ken Burnss forthcoming PBS documentary on World War II have stepped up their campaign against the film, pressuring two corporate sponsors to remove their support.
Leaders of the Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility, an umbrella organization of 14 groups, on Tuesday asked representatives of General Motors Corp. and Anheuser-Busch to disavow their sponsorship and remove their corporate logos from Burnss “The War,” a 14-hour documentary scheduled to be shown on PBS stations in September, coincidentally during Hispanic Heritage Month.”
