B-roll footage shot by WBBM between October and December 1978 to accompany these stories: Gambling Raids, Uptown Shooting, Gun Raid, Florida Silencers, and Jack Louis Bail Bonds Out. Followed by some of a Walter Cronkite report called “The Meat ‘Yellow Sheet.'”
Three monologues about encounters with authority figures, delivered in intense close-up. Each of the performers wears headphones and hears his own voice delayed and filtered by a “harmonizer” manipulated by a crew member. The performers occasionally struggle to keep a train of thought, distracted by these distorted echoes in the headphones.
Juan Luco recounts his run-ins with an authoritarian soccer coach; Joe Winston relates his arrest and strip-search as a suspected terrorist bomber (these were more innocent times!) and John Harriman remembers his high school days as a casual thief, breaking into people’s homes – and getting caught. AIR DATES: March 19, 26, 1990
