Wizard of Oz - Political Symbolism [View all]
If you have a chance, catch Democracy Now! They are doing a special on lyricist Yip Harburg...who wrote the words to "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" and "Brother Can You Spare A Dime". It is really the story of the Red Scare and how difficult this era was.
Some nice insights into the real meaning behind the characters in the Wizard of Oz among other gems.
Must see.
