Beyond Citizen Kane
Beyond Citizen Kane is a 1993 British documentary film directed by Simon Hartog, produced by John Ellis, and first broadcast on Channel 4.
It details the dominant position of the Rede Globo media group, the largest in Brazil, and discusses the group's influence, power, and political connections.
Globo's president and founder Roberto Marinho was criticised and compared to the fictional newspaper tycoon Charles Foster Kane, created by Orson Welles for the 1941 film "Citizen Kane."
According to the documentary, Marinho's media group engages in manipulation of news to influence public opinion.
Rede Globo objected to the film's position and tried to buy Brazilian rights, but Hartog had already made agreements to give non-TV rights to political and cultural groups in Brazil.
However, the documentary cannot be broadcast on TV in Brazil since it contains large sections of footage owned by Globo.
Nevertheless, copies sold in Britain reached Brazil in the 1990s and circulated widely there.
In addition, since the Internet boom of the early 21st century, the film has been released on video sharing websites YouTube and Google Video.
