Hailed as 'brilliant', 'subversive' and 'the best show in the past 30 years' by critics from both sides of the Atlantic, Michael Moore's revolutionary series TV Nation programme championed the issues which concern us all - from the heavyweight to just plain irksome. Only on TV Nation could you witness the unthinkable - Mexican and African Americans gatecrashing a Klu Klux Klan rally to regale them with love songs and install a kissing booth - as well as the simply wish-fulfilling - the home of the director of the largest car alarm company in America being woken to the tuneful chorus of of a dozen car alarms at 6.00am. Adventures in a TV Nation recounts the intriguing behind-the-scenes stories of filming TV Nation and reveals how Moore and his associates got it past the censors and on the air. It also relates those stories which were too controversial to show - including the voice-activated lie detector scan which which tested the daily news and recorded a lie in just about every report. If you have ever felt powerless or at the mercy of 'the system', Adventures in a TV Nation is guaranteed to lift your spirits.
