Principal country concerned : Column : Cinema/tv

Heralded as " a radically ingenious, in-your-face documentary'bursting with insights' by the Philadelphia Inquirer, GHETTOPHYSICS takes an eye-opening look at the power relationships that permeate American society from the toughest street corners to Wall Street, from classrooms to boardrooms. The film utilizes documentary footage, animation, satire and dramatization to illustrate examples culled from the real world - be the players real-life pimps or corporate executives - repeating the same power dynamics that have persisted for centuries.
The film includes interviews with notable entertainers and thinkers, such as Dr. Cornel West, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Ice-T, KRS-One, Too Short, John Perkins, former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, William H. Arntz (Co-Director) and Norman Lear. Of course, it also includes a colorful contingent of street characters.

Directors: E. Raymond Brown and William Arntz
