Regina Lawrence¿s new text argues that many films explicitly or implicitly portray aspects of power¿the central concept in the study of politics¿in patterned, predictable, and often problematic ways. By introducing a multi-faceted framework for thinking about the political nature of films, Lawrence explores three ways film can be studied by political scientists and scholars of political communication: the power of film to portray political reality, how films allocate resources, and the nature of film¿s portrayals of power.
