Egg: The Arts Show on PBS

A cartoonist, a filmmaker and a group of satiric journalists are followed as they explore political and social issues. Joe Sacco writes and draws comic books about the war in Bosnia and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. And Shirin Neshat makes films and stills about the male-female dynamic in her native Iran, and how women “thrive and exist there in the most amazing ways.” Then there's the weekly newspaper The Onion.
