Movie: "Confederate States of America"
Feb. 28th, 2007 01:45 pmI'm watching the movie "CSA: Confederate States of America", which is a British documentary from an alternate history in which the Confederacy took over the United States, and slavery continues to the present day. The documentary is shown as if it were being aired on TV, with intervening commercials, newsbreaks, and program announcements. It really is quite interesting, sometimes funny, and rather riveting to boot: although one can guess certain things about the present day from the appearance of experts and from the commercials, you are still wondering how the history will unfold. It's also fun to root for Canada in its "Cold War" against the CSA. :)
Given the obviously racist nature of its commercials, however, it's not a particularly safe movie to watch in public....
