Venice Documentary Attacks Berlusconi Media Empire.
Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's grip on television in Italy is at the heart of "Videocracy," a new documentary looking at how his media empire has shaped information and culture in the country over 30 years.

Screened at the Venice film festival this week, "Videocracy" mixes images of scantily clad showgirls -- a regular feature on Italian television -- with news reels of Berlusconi's public appearances and interviews with real or aspiring TV celebrities.
