directed by Carl Christman USA 2004, 5o minutes, Color NTSC, DVD, Not Rated "Freedom Fries: And Other Stupidity We'll Have to Explain to Our Grandchildren" is a whimsical look at patriotism and consumerism in America. It explores the absurdity of many of the symbolic gestures that have recently pervaded American culture, such as the wasting of perfectly good French wine and the waving of Chinese-made American flags. ˇ°Freedom Friesˇ± shows that these idle gestures stem from our culture of consumption and do real damage to our democracy as well as our humanity.
