Artist Brian Springer spent a year scouring the airwaves with a satellite dish grabbing back channel news feeds not intended for public consumption. The result of his research is SPIN, an insightful film about the ways in which television is used as a tool of social control to distort and limit the American public's perception of reality.

Take the time to watch it from beginning to end and you'll never look at TV reporting the same again. But wait, there's more! See more footage you weren't supposed to see on topics such as the Iraq war, attacks on civil liberties, 9-11, medical fraud and the list goes on.
