Brian Springer is an American television director and producer, and new media artist born in 1959. Brian spent a year searching for footage grabbing back channel news feeds not intended for public consumption.

 

The result of his research was Spin.

 

This 1995 feature length documentary gives an insight into the perception of how television is used to try and control and distort the American public's view of reality.

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.
