Oil, Katrina and The Big Spin (2 hours)
This special focuses on the two landmark events of President Bush’s second term -  Hurricane Katrina and the continuing war in Iraq. This program intends to cut through the confusion and help you make up your own mind about the critical events over the past few years, what’s real and what’s the spin. 

In this special broadcast, Jerome Ringo, President of the Apollo Alliance, joins Link in the studio to discuss our nation's dependence on former oil.  Mr Ringo is a former oil rig worker and is now Chairman of the National Wildlife Federation. 

We'll also see two films - Big Easy to Big Empty and Oil Safari: The Travelogue of Addiction.  In Big Easy to Big Empty, investigative journalist and author, Greg Palast, went to New Orleans to find out how the devastated city has recovered.  He reported back to Link TV and Amy Goodman for Democracy Now! and provides further insight into the government's role in relief efforts.

Oil Safari follows the oil from the Gulf of Mexico, from Iraq, from Venezuela, from war torn impoverished countries to the tanks of U.S. cars. Made by the Chicago Times and by Pulitzer Prize winner Paul Salopek, the veteran foreign correspondent for the Chicago Tribune.
