[Lee Loe]

If someone could pick up some HPNewses from the Dunlavy side of our apt. at
1659 Harold St. and take them to the screening I would appreciate it. I have
to work on the Dec. HPN. (Nov. is such a short month!). Lee L

Subject: [PAA-Discuss] Ray Hill/Prison Show documentary at Rice Media
CenterFri.-Sun.

 

The new documentary by Brian Huberman, on Ray Hill and his KPFT program "The
Prison Show", will be showing tonight through Sunday night at the Rice Media
Center, at 8 PM each night, according to the Houston Chronicle.  I believe
the film is 60 minutes long.

In Monday's Houston Chronicle, there was an article the documentary.
Excerpts:  

"A documentary focused on RAY HILL is much like his radio show: spontaneous
in the studio"

"The Prison Show and the personalities that shape it - Hill once served time
for jewel theft - are the subject of a 60-minute documentary by Rice
University film professor Brian Huberman. The film will screen Friday
through Sunday at the Rice Media Center.

Huberman, supported by a financial backer in San Antonio, said he sought to
produce a film that would illuminate the "scandal" of American prisons.

"What stood out to me," he said, "was the inadequacy of the prison system
and the way in which people rightly or wrongly are incarcerated and
essentially forgotten. There seems to be very little attempt at
rehabilitation. Punishment is the name of the game."

If you want to park free but are willing to walk a couple of short blocks,
park on one of the neighborhood streets just south of University, across
from the Rice Media Center entrance.
