What it’s about. Pirated satellite feeds revealing U.S. media personalities’ contempt for their viewers come full circle in Spin. TV out-takes appropriated from network satellite feeds unravel the tightly-spun fabric of television—a system that silences public debate and enforces the exclusion of anyone outside the pack of journalists, politicians, spin doctors, and televangelists who manufacture the news. Spin moves through the L.A. riots and the floating TV talk-show called the 1992 U.S. presidential election.

Who’s in it. Spin stars Brian Springer as Self, George H. W. Bush as Self, Bill Clinton as Self and Al Gore as Self, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 7.4/10, Spin has been warmly received by audiences.
