Review of Water WomanThe White Before Christmas is a brilliant take-off on the the classic seasonal poem. Imakhu Mwt Shekemet's "urban legend" has a dreadlocked Santa meeting a true grinch and proving that Christmas magic works anywhere, no matter what color your holiday. Great to air any day before the end of the year, Christmas, Kwanza, Channukah, Would make a great suprise insert into your news magazine as a seasonal treat, or into a segment of ATC for the drive home, or even in a newshole at the top of the hour. It come in at just over 4:00, but with a nimble engineer, it will fit. |
