Spin

"Spin" is the title of a 1-hour documentary by Brian Springer, released in 1995. It can be found on the Internet here and here. It provides a behind the scenes look at the 1992 US presidential elections. This documentary is outstanding in showing how elections are fought and won. It shows the work of spin doctors and speech writers. The documentary has a lot of material of what politicians say when they believe to be off the air. This gives a good contrast to the actual thinking versus to what they say in front of the running camera. Please keep all of this in mind when you go voting the next time. The message is very clear: do not trust a politician, certainly not one in our modern political machinery.
