Miss Me Yet
Miss Me Yet takes a look back at the George W. Bush years and the destruction he left in his wake. The series was born out of the shared sweets with former first ladies, vacuous portraits of damaged war veterans, verbal tomfoolery on daytime talkshow sets, and the untold suffering of people who happen to have been born in the wrong place and the wrong time. There’s the way he both uses power, and does not use his power. There’s the way he feeds culture, and the way culture feeds him. Importantly: what did that do to all of us?
