new Deep Dish series: Waves of Change

A SURVEY OF COMMUNITY MEDIA AROUND THE WORLD: RADIO, TELEVISION, THEATER, MURALS, COMICS AND THE INTERNET AS FORMS OF RESISTANCE TO HOMOGENOUS COMMERCIAL CULTURE. WE CELEBRATE THE ENERGY AND SUCCESS OF COMMUNITY EXPRESSION, BUT ALSO LOOK AT PROBLEMS OF SUSTAINABILITY, DIFFICULT INTERACTIONS WITH POLITICAL POWER, THE STRESSFUL AND SOMETIMES DANGEROUS LIVES OF MEDIA ACTIVISTS, AND THE EVER-PRESENT POTENTIAL OF CO-OPTATION BY COMMERCIAL INTERESTS.
