Obama in particular has been explicit about wanting to shift more of the income-tax burden away from the middle class and onto those making more than $200,000 a year, while McCain has spoken mainly about creating better job-retraining programs for those displaced by globalization.

When I hear the words ‘activist filmmaking,’ I think of somebody who’s an activist, who wants to prove a particular point.7.FM: Has your activism ever gotten you into any serious trouble? JN: So far, no. But this is going to be an interesting experiment because we’re showing these films all over the world, including my hometown in Cairo, Egypt, and there are some controversial parts...
