Synopsis
- In a roughly spliced collage of 16mm footage, Sabina Ott performs Dr. Denis Waitley - a motivational psychologist and best-selling author on Positive Thinking. Taking a ride down into the famous concrete riverbed of L.A.-river and using a cheap hand-held cassette-tape-recorder, she performs his ideas about WINNERS and LOSERS.
Later, at Disneylands Tomorrowland, we rest in front of the McDonnel Douglas Flight to the Moon show. (Mc Donnel Douglas was a major arms contractor and manufacturer of the "Tomahawk" Cruise missile then.) Here, Sabina explains the undefeatable goal-finding mechanism of a cruise missile, which can self-correct its route to safely circumvent any obstacles.
