i heard a story on npr a few months ago about a movie called The Confederate States of America and here is a synopsis - Bold, satirical and wildly funny, the film poses the question: What would have happened if the South had won the Civil War? Played as a straight-faced Ken Burns-style documentary with uncanny parallels to our current society, CSA presents an alternative modern day America as a land in which slavery is alive and well throughout the 50 states, other non-whites and non-Christians are relegated to reservations, the country is in an ongoing Cold War with Canada and a Slave Shopping Network plays on TV. In the words of Spike Lee, an Executive Producer, the film is "eye opening and jaw dropping."
anyway, it's playing at the OKC Museum of Art and i was thinking about checking it out. have any of you seen it? i'm intrigued but also very apprehensive.
slow day today. not much going on. tonight i'm heading back to the pool. i must admit i'm enjoying doing something new. new is good.
