a| “The NEA Tapes” gives an overview of the controversies surrounding the governmental arts funds in the U.S. Established in 1965, the National Endowment of the Arts (NEA), once seen as an altruistic venture, is now seen by many as the devil’s spawn — as a direct result of the rise in power of conservative groups who saw the agency as a symptom of society’s ills. The film discovers and documents (through 300 interviews) the major events and players in this conflict: Robert Mapplethorpe, Andres Serrano, Karen Finley, and the story surrounding the Brooklyn Museum and the Mayor of New York City. The "right wing" is also heard from; including Martin Mawyer, director of the "Christian Action Network" as interviewed while presenting a "degenerate art show" in the Halls of Congress. “The NEA Tapes” provides a story about the capacity of individuals to actuate change through dialogue; a story of artists looking for the democracy and free expression through the diversity of culture.
