#3 - The National Anthem

Season 1 - Episode 1 - Aired 12/4/2011

A twisted parable for the Twitter age, The National Anthem looks at how life is very much harder for the rich and supposedly powerful now that information is disseminated so quickly and public opinion is so loud, powerful and quick to change.
