About 20 years ago, I woke up in the middle of
the night unable to sleep and flipped on the TV.
I landed on the local college channel and caught
the last half of an amazing film called "Spin."
In those pre-Internet days, it took me five years
of searching to get my own copy.
Behind the scenes at the so-called TV "news."
You think the news is manipulated? This film
shows how they do it by catching them in the
act over and over again.
You'll never look at TV news the same way
again.

"Spin" by Brian Springer
One of the most important films
of the last 25 years

Artist Brian Springer spent a year scouring the airwaves with a satellite dish grabbing back channel news feeds not intended for public consumption. The result of his research is SPIN, one of the most insightful films ever made about the mechanics of how television is used as a tool of social control to distort and limit the American public's perception of reality.
Take the time to watch it from beginning to end and you'll never look at TV reporting the same again. Tell your friends about it. This extraordinary film released in the early 1990s is almost completely unknown. Hopefully, the Internet will change that.
