Treat for TGIF: Laura Flanders interviews directors of new Bill Hicks movie.
"Comedian Bill Hicks "was really obsessed in some ways with the idea of getting people to think for themselves, confronting them with ideas they might have on a big subject," says filmmaker Matt Harlock, one of the directors of the new documentary American: The Bill Hicks Story. Hicks died in 1994, but his influence lives on in today's political comics and his critiques of the first Iraq war sound remarkably prescient years later. Matt Harlock and Paul Thomas join Laura in studio to discuss their film, Hicks' work, and why political comedy remains so important."
