Behind the Wheel part 9 of 9

Seeing film as art is easy. Remembering that art is about challenging the world can be hard. Putting film art into action? Well, that can be damn near impossible for people... but not the members of the LA Film Co-op. Determined to make their own state of the union address and filled with youthful energy, they bought a bus, fit a modern day editing suite into it and headed out from coast to coast, interviewing notable artists wherever they found them.

Bumping into such luminaries as Dead Prez, director Oliver Stone, guerilla poster artist Robbie Conal, among all those citizens just living day-to-day, the Film Co-op has created a profound record for their time. With a new age of change sweeping into America with 2009, Behind the Wheel is an amazing final summary of the Bush years. It captures with joy and anger the spirit of resistance at a time when the majority of Americans felt disenfranchised from a country and a leader who didn't stand for them.

I just watched your nine segments of the documentary in order, and it was good to see your discoveries and collaborators. Your segment on New Orleans caused me to want to know more about the artist with the statements from survivors of Katrina.

I found out about this by typing in Alexander Cockburn on youtube's search, and then found ruspoli had interviewed him, and checked ruspoli's site, and happily, all the segments of Behind the Wheel were shown in order. Good job. Thanks.

Beautiful. Revolutionary in concept. Great job!

P.S. But it lacks the "over the top" strength to become iconic.
