Salt Peanuts reveals the impact of 9/11 on airline workers, juxtaposing an interview with former US Air flight attendant Joshua Freeze (AFA) with a dramatization concerning government airline bailouts. The program was screened at the Museum of Modern Art and at the Art In General Gallery, both in New York City, in 2001 and is also available via the Internet on the September 11 Digital Archive website at www.911digitalarchive.org/special/.
