A review of the news of the week followed by an interview with legendary cartoonist Art Spiegelman author of Breakdowns: Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@*!’. Breakdowns was the first collected book of comic art Spiegelman had published. Created between 1972 and 1977, the volume has been reissued with an illustrated 20-page introduction, which – like the works that follow – pretty much redefines what might be considered as a typical comic book narrative. Spiegelman has almost single-handedly brought comic books out of the toy closet and onto the literature shelves. In 1992 he won the Pulitzer Prize for his masterful Holocaust narrative Maus — which portrayed Jews as mice and Nazis as cats. His work has been published in many periodicals, including The New Yorker, where he was a staff artist and writer from 1993-2003. In 2004 he completed a two-year cycle of broadsheet-sized color comics pages, In the Shadow of No Towers, which was selected by The New York Times Book Review as one of the 100 Notable Books of 2004. In 2005, Spiegelman was made a Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in France and named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People. He was named to the Art Director’s Club Hall of Fame in 2006.

Independent Film News, Reviews and Interviews
An interview with Robb Moss director of Secrecy — a film about the vast, invisible world of government secrecy. By focusing on classified secrets, the government's ability to put information out of sight if it would harm national security, Secrecy explores the tensions between our safety as a nation, and our ability to function as a democracy. From extraordinary rendition to warrant-less wiretaps and Abu Ghraib, we have learned that, under the veil of classification, even our leaders can give in to dangerous impulses. Secrecy increasingly hides national policy, impedes coordination among agencies, bloats budgets and obscures foreign accords; secrecy throws into the dark our system of justice and derails the balance of power between the executive branch and the rest of government. Moss's recent film, The Same River Twice, premiered at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival, was nominated for a 2004 Independent Spirit award, and played theatrically in more than eighty cities across North America. As a cinematographer he has shot films in Ethiopia, Hungary, Japan, Liberia, Mexico, Turkey-on such subjects as famine genocide and the large-scale structure of the universe-and many of these pieces were shown on Public Television. He was on the 2004 documentary jury at the Sundance Film Festival and has thrice served as a creative advisor for the Sundance Institute documentary labs. He is the past board chair and president of the Association of Independent Video and Filmmakers and has taught filmmaking at Harvard University for the past 20 years.

An interview with Amy Alkon an award-winning syndicated columnist whose funny but reason and data-based weekly advice column, The Advice Goddess, appears in over 100 newspapers. Alkon has made numerous TV and radio appearances, including Good Morning America, CNN, MTV, Nightline, Politically Incorrect and Dennis Miller. She is completing a book for McGraw-Hill on the collapse of public manners, called Revengerella: One Woman's Battle to Beat Some Manners into Impolite Society. Alkon considers identity theft the height of bad manners, and sees financial institutions with apparently lax security measures in a similar light.

An interview with Paris, one of hip-hop's most militantly Afrocentric radicals. Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, Paris was catapulted onto the national hip-hop scene in 1990 with his hit single and album The Devil Made Me Do It. Since then his uncompromising stance on political issues and biting social commentary have both aided and hindered his quest to bring solid music and messages to the masses. When his second album, Sleeping With The Enemy was ready for release in 1992, Paris was dropped from now-defunct Tommy Boy Records and distributor Time Warner when they discovered its incendiary content. Rather than buckle under pressure, he released the LP himself to major sales and national acclaim. After several years with Priority Records, in 2003, Paris returned with Sonic Jihad to strong sales and critical acclaim. That year he also launched his new label and website, Guerrilla Funk Recordings. Born out of necessity, it's a musical organization that counters the corporate stranglehold of censorship currently plaguing the entertainment industry, providing a home for projects and material of such notable acts as Public Enemy, Kam, dead prez and The Conscious Daughters, among others. Now, just in time for election year, Paris returns to the now-seemingly apolitical world of hip-hop to once again inject his patented form of sonic vitriol into the musical landscape with his latest release, Acid Reflex. With commentary on a wide range of topics including black-on-black crime and violence, the ongoing problem of police brutality, illegal and immoral wars, the crooked arena of politics and the need for more of an equal balance between positive and negative influences in entertainment, Acid Reflex is the latest installment of cutting-edge funk-and-rock-inspired hip-hop in a career spanning the sale of over 3.8 million units independently worldwide.
