Career
[edit | edit source]Springer spent a year searching for footage by intercepting raw network satellite television feeds not intended for public consumption with the result of his research was Spin.[1] This 1995 feature-length documentary provides insights into how television is used by the industry and by politicians to mold and distort the American public's view of reality.[2] Springer produced Spin as a follow-up to Feed (1992), for which he also provided raw satellite footage.[3]
In 2007, Springer released another documentary, The Disappointment: Or, The Force of Credulity.[4]
