| Interview with Emily and Sarah Kunstler |  |
Q: What inspired you to make this piece?
A: We came up wih the idea for GETTING THROUGH TO THE PRESIDENT when moveon.org announced its "Bush in 30 Seconds" contest. We didn't know if the White House even had a comment line, but we thought it would be intereting to see what people would say if they actually had direct access to the government and could get the President at the other end of the line. But the idea was too big for a 30-second spot. This was a particularly politically charged period in New York City, in the months leading up to the Republican National Convention, and in the country with the recent discovery of the prisoner abuse at Abu Gharib.
