Narrator: Johnny Heller

For the past 30 years, David Mamet has been a controversial and defining force
in theater and film, championing the most cherished liberal values along the
way. In some of the great movies and plays of our time, his characters have
explored the ethics of the business world, embodied the struggles of the
oppressed, and faced the flaws of the capitalist system. But in recent years
Mamet has had a change of heart. He realized that the so-called mainstream
media outlets he relied on were irredeemably biased, peddling a hypocritical
and deeply flawed worldview. In 2008 he wrote a hugely controversial op-ed for
the Village Voice, "Why I Am No Longer a 'Brain-Dead Liberal,'" in which he
methodically eviscerated liberal beliefs. Now he goes much deeper, employing
his trademark intellectual force and vigor to take on all the key political
and cultural issues of our times, from religion to political correctness to
global warming. Mamet pulls no punches in his art or in his politics. And as
a former liberal who woke up, he will win over an entirely new audience of
others who have grown irate over America's current direction.
