Dragon food is a drama shot in black an white, though not at all a polarized vision. It is an inside view of outsiders: two Pakistanis, living in Hamburg, West Germany, seeking political asylum and jobs. The program’s aim is to make a German audience understand and accept the values and personal problems of foreigners they meet in their own country and frequently reject. But, it is also a bitter-sweet story of friendship and hatred. |

“Oracion por Marilyn Monroe,” is a poem by a priest who is also member of the Nicaraguan government… a strange start for a documentary. In fact, it is a fable: Marilyn was an orphan, a rape victim, a desperate person, like some in Latin America. |

The producers of Top Score Magazine tried to do a program about Gypsies that would dispel myths and prejudices about them. Instead, the Swedish state-controlled Racio Council found them guilty of helping to perpetuate and spread anti-Gypsy prejudice. The program prompted violent public reaction and resulted in a second program, in which different critics demanded and received the right to reply. |

Once a week, Channel 4 in Great Britain devotes Right to reply to viewer’s complaints about their TV. This particular program followed the showing of the Singing detective (also being shown here at INPUT), and caused even wider controversy when the producers included one of the more sexual scenes in the Right to reply discussion. The channel was chastised by the British TV authorities and reminded that such program excerpts would not be shown on early evening TV. |
