Do you subscribe to Netflix? If so, be sure to add these latest Independent Lens titles to your queue. ADJUST YOUR COLOR: The Truth of Petey Greene **Winner of the 2009 Indie Lens Audience Award He was a former drug addict and felon. He was also America's first "shock jock." Petey Greene gave voice to the unheard––speaking truth to power on his raw and uncensored TV and radio programs. His explosive language and brash style shocked the world as he battled both the system and his own demons on a journey to becoming a leading activist during some of the most tumultuous years in recent history. THE ATOM SMASHERS In a premier U.S. government laboratory, physicists race to discover one of the biggest secrets in the universe before a far more powerful European accelerator upstages both them and the entire U.S. science program. But, with a growing national deficit made worse by military conflicts and natural disasters, the lab struggles to survive. Will the discovery happen before the funds run out? Or will America watch the greatest minds in physics drift across the Atlantic, closing a great chapter in American science? PAUL CONRAD: Drawing Fire Three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Paul Conrad has drawn and quartered 11 presidents in a remarkable career spanning half a century. Narrated by Tom Brokaw, PAUL CONRAD: Drawing Fire pays tribute to a legendary journalist and artist who epitomizes the fiercely independent voice that has been vanishing from American news media in recent years. Netflix subscribers can either rent these titles on DVD or stream the films directly in the browser. Also, Xbox subscribers can watch Netflix movies through the 360 console.
