Netflix Alert...

Now, before you get all nervous, this picture is not an ad for some white supremacy group I'm endorsing. As you know, in my blog I like to highlight certain documentary films. This one is a "mockumentary" called C.S.A.: The Confederate States Of America. It resembles a Ken Burns-style history show that explains the rise of the Confederate States Of America and their defeat of the north in the Civil War in the context of modern times. It is an often disturbing look at what the country might be today if the south had prevailed and slavery had survived. Interspersed are phony commercial breaks that are both funny and disturbing, with spots for "Darky" toothpaste and "Niggerhair" tobacco products - both things that were actual products at some point. This film could've been hokey, but I thought it was well done and had a good balance of humor, history, and stuff to make you think. It just came out on DVD, so those of you with Netflix, add it to your queues. A website for the film can be found HERE.
