Apresentada de forma fascinante, a história da Air America chega a parecer ter sido minuciosamente roteirizada, tamanho o drama de seu arco narrativo.

Audience Reviews for Left of the Dial

This documentary about the beginning of Air America Radio is a real roller-coaster ride of ups and downs. It starts with the exhilaration of the very idea of standing up to the conservative monopoly on talk radio, through the last-minute problems with microphones, technical issues, and sheer readiness, and proceeds through the economic woes as AAR's personalities and staff discover they've been mislead about "the money situation." It's particularly striking how Randi Rhodes, a well-established liberal talk radio hero from Florida, is neglected and treated as second-class while everybody focuses on bigger celebrities like Al Franken -- but then on her very first day, she blows everybody else away, bringing on ecstatic cheers from the crew and lighting up the phone banks. Overall the portrayal of events is more balanced than I had expected -- this documentary has something for both the liberal viewers, as well as the conservative detractors; it simply lays out the events as they happen, and let the viewer decide whether to cheer for AAR or to cackle at its struggles and woes.
