A Human Interest Story (or the Gory Details and All)

Somewhere in America, a man fantasizes about his best friend’s wife. In another city, a young housewife momentarily loses sight of her children. Elsewhere, a politician relives a tragic second that forever changed his life, and a mother wonders where her teenage son got the gun. And in one town, a man watches all this unfold on his TV screen. He could be watching a cartoon, commercials, an adult film…or the news. A Human Interest Story (or the Gory Details and All) is an unflinching portrait of an America obsessed with voyeurism. This mesmerizing, funny, and frightening work asks the questions: Does the news coverage of violent acts beget more violence? And, is the imagination more cruel and unforgiving than reality?
