Carny - Tues 13 May 2008 10pm
Documentary film about Powers Great American Midway, a travelling carnival which is based in North Carolina.
The romance of running away to the fair has always had a flipside. As well as that alluring mythology around the bright lights and anchorless travelling life, the carnival has a darker dangerous image and its workers are faced with considerable prejudice. As one man says on this touching and almost painfully intimate look into the characters who make the merry-go-round go round: "Some people think that Carnies are scum."
