CHAP TER 6 } Public Service Entertainment HBO’s Interventions in Politics and Culture Shayne Pepper When one thinks of “public service,” HBO is not typically the media entity that comes to mind. However, in examining HBO’s forty-year history, one notices an extensive list of socially conscious, politically engaged, and even outright public service programs. Over the years, HBO has brought a great deal of thoughtful (and sometimes controversial) cultural programming into American households. This group of films explores topics such as poverty, AIDS, women’s rights, and global injustice, often fiercely critiquing systems of inequality and oppression. Sometimes these programs even provide potential solutions and avenues of hope for some of today’s most important social problems. For example, the documen- tary Pandemic: Facing AIDS () and the romantic comedy The Girl in the Café () come in two very different forms but are clearly meant to be direct inter- ventions in efforts to fight AIDS and global poverty.
