This show is dedicated to the recession proof industry of filmmaking.

In this season of hystrionic brazen financial powergrabbing in DC, we here at Waking Up Orwell have decided to provide am escape valve. We bring you effort from the recession proof industry of film. Not just any film either - our favorite kind : dystopian film which would rattle the bones of Orwell himself. From there we announce how you can get involved in local film ventures where "artivism" can make a difference.

Here are few examples of dystopian films of note:

Zeigeist
Network
V for Vendetta
Loose Change
Aaron Russo's From Freedom to Fascism

We will be discussing the submissions processes and relevance of dystopian filmmaking in the activist community.

We discuss what leads to negative effects on U.S. citizens locally and nationally in a fresh talk radio format. Some of the issues we cover are: public surveillance, developments with the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, agitation of border conflicts, federal emergency management, homeland security, prison and police policy, civil liberties, electronic privacy, unlawful search and seizure and keeping tabs on “continuity of government”. Waking Up Orwell is a weekly radio digest of news reported on BeatTheChip.org - a blog dedicated to informing anyone concerned about being wiretapped, hacked, or catalogued without legal consent by the U.S. government.
