Salem Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SALM) announced today a
partnership with noted film director Dinesh D’Souza on a new
documentary. The attempts by left wing social media giants to
silence the views they disagree with on the right has led to the
new documentary, produced by D’Souza and Salem Media Group. The
film, tentatively titled “Silenced,” will look into the chilling
impact these cancellations are having on American society, and how
they are now becoming common place across most social media
platforms. The movie is tentatively slated for release in the
middle of 2022.

This documentary will expose how the silencing of certain views
is taking hold across American society, in public and private
schools, on campuses, in corporations, in the publishing world, in
the media, and in the military. Being a conservative has become
increasingly dangerous in American life.
“I’m thrilled to be partnering with Salem on an exciting movie
project for next year,” said producer Dinesh D’Souza. “Of course
we’re inundated with great material and we have a powerful and
unique message that will educate, inspire and mobilize Americans at
this critical juncture in the nation’s history,” D’Souza added.
The movie will feature Salem talk hosts who themselves have been
banned from certain social media platforms like Dennis Prager,
Sebastian Gorka, and Eric Metaxas. The tactics used by Big Tech
giants like YouTube, Google, Twitter, and others will be exposed as
this brutal form of disturbing censorship sweeps across the country
and becomes the “new normal.”
“Salem exists to provide a free form of expression for
conservatives who listen to our two biggest formats, News Talk and
Christian Teach and Talk,” said Salem CEO Ed Atsinger. “This form
of censorship creates an existential threat to our freedoms, and
our American values. It makes no sense to silence the other side,
when we know that it is through this dialogue that we work out our
differences and come together,” said Atsinger. “This movie will
help both sides understand the true meaning of freedom of speech,
and why it matters so much to our future as a nation.”
This is obviously a culture war America is facing, and the
victims of this war are those who stand up for what they believe
in, if it is opposite of the left’s world view. You see it in Jack
the cake baker in Colorado, attacks on conservatives in restaurants
by Antifa, and the removal of Dr. Seuss books from the public
square. This documentary will highlight the issues we face, and
what we can do about it.
Distribution is planned for a theatrical release in mid-2022,
following by video on demand through SalemNow.Com. Salem Media
Group created SalemNow.com in 2020 to deliver the content that
often times has been silenced by other mainstream media. SalemNow
is available in the app stores, AppleTV, Amazon Firestick, and on
Roku.
Dinesh D’Souza joined the Salem Podcast Network with a daily
podcast on January 10th. That podcast quickly became one of the top
10 podcasts in the News category in the Apple podcast rankings and
has now passed its 100th episode. Dinesh will also release a book
with the same name as this documentary about the same time,
published by Regnery Books, a division of Salem. Dinesh has
produced six previous documentaries including “2016 Obama’s
America,” “Hillary’s America,” “America: Imagine the World Without
Her,” “The Secret History of the Democrat Party,” “Death of a
Nation,” and his most recent “Trump Card.” Dinesh was born in
Bombay, India, and legally immigrated to this country when he was
17 years old. He is now married to Debbie, and lives in the suburbs
of Houston, Texas.
