Paul Goodman on Anti-War Films

[Bureau of Public Secrets]

Paul Goodman's article "Designing Pacifist Films" is now online at
http://www.bopsecrets.org/CF/goodman.htm

At a time when antiwar communication is increasingly necessary, most
"radical media" efforts seem to remain mysteriously ineffective or even
unwittingly counterproductive. Goodman's keen insights into both
psychological and "aesthetic" factors help to show why this is so, and what
might be done differently.
