SANTA MONICA, CA, July 07, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- 'ETHOS' A feature length documentary hosted by Woody Harrelson.

WOODY HARRELSON hosts this powerful new Documentary Written and Directed by Pete McGrain.
This controversial feature length documentary examines the flaws in our systems, and the mechanisms that work against democracy and the environment. From conflicts of interests in politics and unregulated corporate power, to a news media that serves the interests of powerful elites; ETHOS explores the systems that lead us into over consumption and warfare.

Ethos is the premiere production of Media for Action, a non profit production company based in Santa Monica, set up specifically to deal with contentious cultural issues as a provocative response to corporate media. 'Too often the media celebrates aspects of our society that belong in the dark ages, while at the same time ignoring or ridiculing progressive thinking or ideas. As soon as you ask why, you open a Pandora's Box that is really quite sinister. Many aspects of the way our systems work almost guarantee our destruction as a society and that's what this film is about'. Said Pete McGrain writer/director of Ethos.

'Proper journalism is about asking tough questions. Having a constant eye to the bottom line or corporate agendas compromises good journalism. Operating as a non profit lets us negotiate that dilemma'. Said Isabella Michelle Marles, Co Producer and Founder of Media for Action.

'Having Woody Host the film is incredible. There are few celebrities that actually walk the talk and Woody's integrity and honesty is vital for a film that deals with these highly contentious issues. The film will obviously get a lot more exposure because of his support and working with high profile actors who can bring attention to progressive media is a model that we want to repeat.' Said Director Pete McGrain.

Ethos is now in post production with distribution yet to be put in place. 'We have kept a really low profile on the project for many reasons, but we are now ready to put the film out there. I'm really excited to see how people respond. Hopefully it will get people asking questions and that is what it is all about.' Said McGrain.
