Just TV: A Look at How Television Influences Our Sense of Justice Despite claims that television is merely a ‘mindless entertainment’ advertisers spend millions of dollars for a few precious moments onscreen. Is it ‘just TV’ or is it something more? What kind of difference can a TV program make? Can a sitcom cause us to change our attitudes? Can a drama alter public policy? Can a mere television show promote social justice? Reel Spirituality invites you to join acclaimed showrunners as we consider the limits and possibilities of television. From the scathing satire of The Office to the timely parallels of Battlestar Galactica, Reel Spirituality will ask the sharpest questions about the smartest shows. Our special guests will be Nancy Miller, producer of The Closer and Saving Grace, and Larry Wilmore, Emmy-winning creator of The Bernie Mac Show, The PJs, and “Mr. Brown” on The Office. Join us Saturday, October 27 as we consider, “Just TV?” Will be held at the DGA in Hollywood There will be a $60.00 registration cost (lunch included) For Biographical information on the speakers click HERE
