“A clever spoof, 6pm in America takes on mainstream news media and questions the media as a source of information. With tongue firmly in cheek, this is a perfect blend of humor and social criticism.”

San Francisco Intl Lesbian & Gay Film Festival

  6PM IN AMERICA
   
 
2003, Canada, Video, 4:00 mins.

In a parody of CNN, anchors Brenda Heshe and Mario Faglioni explore and expose the racist and heterosexist rhetoric of North American broadcast news, especially during war.
