By the time of these screenings you will most likely be fully fed up with the cacophony of noise that is the 2024 race for United States President. Tired of the incessant barrage of the 24 hour news cycle’s obsession with candidates Trump and Harris’ every move. Escape with us 32 years into the past to see all the lessons that were never learnt from two documentary films concerning the 1992 presidential election that pull back the curtain on the behind-the-scenes happenings and illuminate the full on charade that is US politics: Kevin Rafferty and James Ridgeway’s FEED (1992) and Brian Springer’s follow-up, SPIN (1995). Both films utilize pirated television satellite feeds obtained by Springer that show a side of the race and the personalities at play that were/are often unseen by the general public.
Spectacle is excited to share some of our favorite pieces of documentary exposé with you this Election Day (as well as a few days prior). Because if you’re like us, you will much prefer watching them instead of the mind-numbingly slow and drawn out parade of live exit polls and results from states across the country. Fuck the cable news channels, come hang with us as we completely ignore the 2024 election, and laugh at our bizarre past that was the 1992 election.
