Robert Scheer - Above The Fold
Robert Scheer – Above the Fold is a feature length documentary film about activist and journalist Scheer. The film underscores his unrelenting quest for the truth in any story he reports and charts the shifts in journalistic practice and platforms.
From Ramparts Magazine influencing Martin Luther King Jr.'s opposition to the Vietnam War; the famous Playboy Magazine "Lust in my Heart" interview with Jimmy Carter; 10 Pulitizer nominations during his LA Times tenure; a decade on KCRW's Left, Right and Center; and author of 6 books, Scheer's credentials are second to none.
Currently, Scheer is Professor of Communications at the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, Editor-In-Chief at ScheerPost.com, and produces his incisive, weekly interview podcast- Scheer Intelligence.

“I was delighted to discover that there is a new documentary about Robert Scheer, the former Berkeley radical who became an anti-Vietnam-war firebrand, a proudly Left political candidate, and a now-legendary journalist.
Crusading filmmaker Oliver Stone has called Robert Scheer: Above the Fold, "an inspiring portrait of a great American."
Above the Fold is a compilation of Scheer's full-bore muck-raking and opinionated news-making over the course of several decades (and continuing today).”
