 THE WAR SHOW |
Living Documentary #13: An unelected President wages an illegitimate war, lies to his country, erodes civil liberties and feeds the coffers of his corporate sponsors. Meanwhile, mainstream media looks the other way. Termite TV responds with a mixture of outrage and humor to add to the growing number of voices questioning the administration's actions. Coordinating Producer: Dorothea Braemer & Meg Knowles |
 TERROR |
Living Documentary #14: What is your biggest fear? Termite TV takes on Terror, exploring the fragile landscape of a country gripped by war fever. The results are satirical, outraged and - ultimately just sad. Learn tips and tricks in Torture for Dummies and play the war video game paid for by your tax dollars. Did you know that George Bush has been honing his strategy by watching vintage Bollywood? Childhood fears haunt the present when a son is beheaded, joining the thousands who die for a lie. Coordinating Producer: Anula Shetty & Michael Kuetemeyer |
 NIAGARA [in progress] |
Living Documentary #15: Niagara is a 30-minute Termite program which explores aspects of life, culture, tourism and mythology in Niagara Falls. It will feature a short a man-on-the-street compilation, a discussion of Love Canal, an historical look at barrel fever, an experimental segment on the geological formation of the falls, a Tale of Two Cities comparing Niagara Falls, NY and Niagara Falls Ontario, a scientific study involving aura-dousing at the edge of the Falls, and a look at the Niagara Power and Tesla's legacy. The goal of the program is to highlight Niagara falls from a diversity of perspectives and cultural viewpoints rarely featured on mainstream TV. Coordinating Producers: Dorothea Braemer & Meg Knowles |
 DEMOCRACY |
Living Documentary #16: Rule by the People. A country with a government that has been elected freely and equally by all its citizens. A voice and a choice! From voting to activism, consumerism to citizenship, Termite TV seeks truth to power in Democracy. Coordinating Producers: Dorothea Braemer & Deborah Rudman |
 WATER |
We have a complex relationship with this building block of life. Water
landscapes can serve as reminders of both historical events and personal
memories, provide cultural touchstones, fill our need for beauty, or
simply provide a source of liquid refreshment. While we attempt to restrict
water use through pacts and treaties, sometimes we just can't stop that
slow leak on the roof. Termite TV explores a variety of water-y issues;
both poetic and political. Coordinating Producers: Meg Knowles |
