A quick list of upcoming TV shows about censorship:
Insight: The Naked Eye
SBS 7:30PM
Tuesday, 24 June, 2008
Jenny Brockie brings the Bill Henson debate to our TV screens. Guests include The Incredible Hetty, Tony Bond from the Art Gallery of NSW, Tamara Winkoff from NAVA, Connie Petrill, and model, Zoe Bailey.
Jennifer Byrne Presents Sex and Romance (likely not about censorship, but prob worth a look)
ABC 1 10PM
Tuesday, 24 June, 2008
‘Jennifer Byrne is joined by some special guests to investigate both the phenomenal popularity and bitter controversy associated with sex and romance.’
Boob Tube: Sex TV And Ugly George
SBS 10PM
Friday, 27 June, 2008
A documentary that explores censorship and public decency on television using the example of the infamous 1970s filmmaker, Ugly George. God, he’s ugly.
The Womp also alerted me to the first episode of Penn and Teller’s Bullshit series 6 which deals with the War on Porn: ‘the crusade by various special interest groups to restrict free speech and regulate the Internet.’ I don’t think channel 9 airs it here anymore so you may need to get in touch with your American allies online.
