Spin

Not a lot of people know about network satellite feeds - supplimentary live footage outside of the regular broadcast schedule that let you see the behind the scenes; unexpectedly sincere stuff.

Using unauthorized satellite footage and the 1992 presidential election as a springboard, documentary filmmaker Brian Springer captured the behind-the-scenes maneuverings of politicians and newscasters in the early 1990s in this 60 minute documentary, SPIN - a surreal expose of media-constructed reality.

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.
