Pat Robertson's Predictions >>
Using the 1992 presidential election as his springboard, documentary filmmaker Brian Springer captures the behind-the-scenes maneuverings of politicians and newscasters in the early 1990s. Pat Robertson banters about "homos," Al Gore learns how to avoid abortion questions, George Bush talks to Larry King about halcyon -- all presuming they're off camera. Composed of 100% unauthorized satellite footage, Spin is a surreal expose of media-constructed reality.

Re: Spin
This is old footage, but the constant manipulation by the media is so clearly shown, that it can make you ill. Candidates dropped, presidents constantly pushed, and the smarmy remarks by those who are in power and those who are putting them there is enough to turn the stomach of any decent person. Heres tv in all its glory, in a way that is never seen today (all the feeds are highly encrypted now.) even with all our exploits and sharing on the internet, this is a prime view at prime time.
