Dad, Don’t be Mad is an autobiographical video about growing up paranoid under the ever watchful eye of a cop father. A 9-minute video, this tape uses fiction as a means to tell the truth, and exploits the “based on a true story” device employed in tv dramas to make truth more dramatically palatable for the television viewing audience.
