 recommended."\n\n             - Mark Scaramella, Anderson Valley 
 Advertiser\n\n "SNAFU [has] managed to put together one of the 
 niftiest\npolitical campaigns this city has seen in many moons.  It 
 also\nmanaged to put together a rather nifty video called 'Bad\nReception.' 
 Check it out."\n\n            -  Betsey Culp, San Francisco Call\n\n\nThe 
 dot-com era in San Francisco provoked responses from the\nactivist 
 community over live-work lofts, illegal evictions, and\nthe displacement of 
 working people and artists from their\ntraditional communities. Less widely 
 reported was the response by\nordinary residents to another by-product of 
 this technological\nrevolution - the proliferation of wireless antennas to 
 feed the\nbooming use of cell phones throughout the city.\n\nSpurred by 
 credible but often suppressed scientific research, San\nFrancisco residents 
 formed the San Francisco Neighborhood\nAntenna-Free Union (SNAFU) to resist 
 the potentially hazardous\nplacement of wireless antennas near their homes, 
 schools and\nhealth care centers. This conceptually fascinating 
 one-hour\ndocumentary follows SNAFU as a growing number of 
 grassroots\nvolunteers takes on one of the most powerful corporate 
 entities\nin the world.\n\nProviding insight into similar struggles 
 throughout the United\nStates and across the globe makes "Bad Reception:  
 The Wireless\nRevolution in San Francisco" a timely and uplifting look at 
 the\nlocal face of an international movement to safeguard 
 individual\nfreedom, personal choice and the safety of our health 
 and\nenvironment.\n\n
