Review of Wim Wenders; Land of Plenty

Piece is very nicely done - the dreamy, soundrich clips for the film provide an effective background.
I've seen Land of Plenty. It's an interesting film, even beautiful, touching - from the director of Wings of Desire, Paris, Texas, to name two that so many people in the US have loved - it is dead accessible - but unlike Farenheit 911, fascinatingly ambiguous and generous to more than one point of view - the news that Wenders can't get a distributor to take it on is a bit of a shock to me. It's because they can't pigeonhole it - or because of fear? That's not the America I lived in until I was 40. I'm wondering whether stations will treat this piece the way the distributors are treating the film (and their audiences). Wake up, people!
