An exploration of paradox, irony and betrayal within the American landscape. To whom, or to what, do we comment: "Just say no?" The insufferable loss of inalienable rights. What price have we paid during the evolution of our cultural/societal ethos? And how the American dream reveals its dark side contingent upon that process. Sound and image play havoc with the ordinary experience of cultural/societal perspectives on what it means to be an American. Is repression of truth and death of spirit of more value than blind allegiance to government-sponsored media propaganda and the greed it propagates?
