Deflating the Elephant

  (2008)
Oscar-winning actor and activist Sean Penn teams with author George Lakoff (Don't Think of an Elephant: Know Your Values and Frame the Debate) in this thought-provoking examination of how language frames the nature of political discourse in America. Presented from a progressive perspective, the film targets conservatives' use of terms such as "gay marriage," "war on terror" and "tax relief" and examines how they're used to shape policy debates.
