I’m catching up on some films in the PBS series Independent Lens and have found Beauty is Embarrassing, Neil Berkeley’s look at the life and art of Wayne White a satisfying documentary on several levels except that PBS (or at least UNC-TV) is censoring his art (and some of what he says) because of humorous profanities.  This is what I find embarrassing…and sad…that fear of political controversy has such a chilling effect on programming that, to be honest, airs at the most unfortunate and inhospitable time of 2 a.m. or somesuch anyway.
