What great reviews!! But this really jumped out: "It needs a warning label on it to shelter anyone who still loves mom’s apple pie, and the myth of America. Congratulations. We need a good slap in the face once in a while, and EMERALD CITIES delivers it.” That slap in the face is what we need right now, to wake us up before it's too late.
Brought to the screen in 1983, a visionary filmmaker explodes the myths of American culture and its social institutions. Forty two years later this film is still relevant, actually its truth is unfolding in our daily life. It is a satire about Empire, if we don't laugh will will surely cry.

Thanks Steve. And my friend William Farley’s documentary “I Wanted to be a Man With a Gun” is nor to be missed. See his trailer at my link.

Thanks Bill for this solid overview! Yes, too bad that it’s happening now, right before our eyes.
