00:28Ever since Hollywood added sound to the movies in the late 1920s,
00:34debate has raged about the impact of violent media on our minds and our behavior.
00:39Hundreds of studies and countless congressional hearings have looked at the issue of media violence.

00:51Violence in the entertainment is causing increased aggressive behavior amongst some children.
00:56Well, this is really trivial. The contribution of television violence into the actual committing of violence is practically negligible.
01:03For all the endless debate, a basic question remains.
01:07Is the issue really about whether we imitate what we see?
01:11And if that's the case, why do the vast majority of us watch TV and never commit a violent act?
01:18This film looks at the work of a man who took a more complicated look at the issue of media violence.
