Series Description
Culture Shock is a four-part series exploring themes central to debates about cultural values, freedom of expression, and the role of arts in society. Each program tells the story of a once controversial, now classic work of art in literature (Huck Finn), painting (Manet's Olympia), music (1920s jazz), or film (the Hollywood production code), and explores its relevance today. Premiered January 2000.
