We are proud to be closing our 7th edition with the World Premiere of local Santa Cruz filmmaker Jeff Warrick?s Programming the Nation? This socially relevant documentary explores the supposed use, influence and potential subconscious side effects of subliminal messaging in advertising, film, music and political campaigning. Do you ever find yourself doing or buying things without any conscious reasoning? How is it that the US consumes roughly 25% of the world's resources while only making up 4.5% of its population? Are we all part of an elaborate scheme that has been Programming the Nation? Decide for yourself... The film is followed by an Awards Ceremony, and a Party! JOIN US!
