Generation OS13: A New Culture Of Resistance

"Those bailouts were absolutely required to save your civilisation, now if you talk about bail outs for everyone else you have to say to say to those people suck it in and cope buddy, suck it in and cope"

Directed by Anonymous
Anonymous itself has come forward with an amazing short documentary that happens to be called Generation OS13: The New Culture of Resistance. The film takes you on a rapid-fire tour de force through the madness of our world and the new resistance movement that’s trying to come up with alternatives.What’s fascinating about Generation OS13, and about the new culture of resistance in general, is that it’s trying to carve out a new ideological niche that is firmly critical of our present world order without falling into the trap of the old-fashioned socialist or communist clichés. After all, we need new critiques, new narratives, new inspiration. Generation OS13 is an explosive insight into the attack on civil liberties occurring in western democracies and how artists, musicians, journalists and authors encourage the peoples right to resist against Banker occupation. Examining economic dictatorships, puppet regimes, tax havens, tax dodgers, and the debt based money system the film explains why you can not count on the law makers to see shit when it first happens.For a new era, generation OS13, the repression will not be tolerated; do the government really think they can win that war if the young people are like fuck this, you cant beat that you, can’t beat us, it’s Impossible – Saul Williams.  Featuring Painter, poet and song writer Billy Childish, Harry Malt from Bare Bones, Luke Turner from The Quietus, journalist Huw Nesbitt, broadcaster Max Kaiser, author Nicholas Shaxson and Artists Anika, Comanechi, Gaggle’s and Saul Williams.

The Tree of Life

There are two ways through life: the way of nature, and the way of Grace. You have to choose which one you'll follow.

Tree of Life is a period film centered around three boys in the 1950s. The eldest son of two characters witnesses the loss of innocence.  We trace the evolution of Jack, an eleven-year-old boy in the Midwest, who is one of three brothers. At first, the world seems marvelous to the child. He sees everything as his mother does, with the eyes of his soul. She represents the way of love and mercy, while the father tries to teach his son the world's way, of putting oneself first. Each parent tries to influence Jack, who must reconcile their claims with each other. The picture darkens as he has his first glimpses of sickness, suffering and death. The world, once a thing of glory, becomes a labyrinth.   Framing this story is the life of adult Jack; a lost soul in a modern world, seeking to discover amid the changing scenes of time that which does not change: the eternal scheme of which we are a part. When he sees all that has gone into our world's preparation, each thing appears a miracle precious and incomparable. Jack, with his new understanding, is able to forgive his father and take his first steps on the path of life. From this story is that of adult Jack, a lost soul in a modern world.  The story ends in hope, acknowledging the beauty and joy in all things, in the everyday and above all in the family -- our first school -- the only place that most of us learn the truth about the world and ourselves, or discover life's single most important lesson, of unselfish love.

Paul

Are you gonna probe us? Why does everyone always assume that? What am I doing? Am I harvesting farts? How much can I learn from an ass?

Directed by Greg Mottola
Two sci-fi geeks whose pilgrimage takes them to America's UFO heartland. While there, they accidentally meet an alien who brings them on an insane road trip that alters their universe forever. For the past 60 years, an alien named Paul has been hanging out at a top-secret military base. For reasons unknown, the space-traveling smart ass decides to escape the compound and hop on the first vehicle out of town-a rented RV containing Earthlings Graeme Willy and Clive Gollings. Chased by federal agents and the fanatical father of a young woman that they accidentally kidnap, Graeme and Clive hatch a fumbling escape plan to return Paul to his mother ship. And as two nerds struggle to help, one little green man might just take his fellow outcasts from misfits to intergalactic heroes.  [website]

Water The Great Mystery

Water is the driving force of all nature.

Just as with the film What the Bleep, this documentary shows us through science that our thoughts have an effect on our external reality. Imagine the possibilities when people realize their own potential for creativity. Films like this give me hope that there is an emergence of collective intelligence that can solve the problems of the world. This film is about water, the most amazing yet least studied substance. From times immemorial, scientists, philosophers and theologians tried to understand its explicit and implicit properties, which are phenomenal, beyond the common physical laws of nature. Witness recent, breathtaking discoveries by researchers worldwide from Russia, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Israel, the USA, Britain, Austria, Japan, Argentina, China and Tibet. The arguments expound upon unexpected and challenging assumptions enlightening many years of research to open humankind to new horizons, such as the applications of structured water in agriculture, or the use of water in treatment for the most serious diseases and more.  The Geography of the film spans the globe. The implications go beyond the solar system, suggesting that water has the ability to convey messages faster than light, perhaps linking water with the absolute. Water is so unique, and so profound, its miraculous properties are still awaiting to be discovered. [website]

Dying To Have Known

The movie, which premiered in Manhattan at the New York International Film Festival, records experts’ statements as they make them, pro or con, guarded or otherwise. It is also entertaining and persuasive cinema, a movie with a mission, which is the unabashed promotion of nutritional cancer therapy, still controversial seven decades after Max Gerson, M.D., first employed it.

The strength of Dying to Have Known is its interview footage coupled with expert editing.  Departing his home base in rural Alaska, Kroschel embarks on a 52-day Gerson-fact-finding journey of Europe, Japan, and the USA. He wields a confident hand interviewing a variety of researchers, editors, and physicians. The positive testimonials are admittedly powerful. But it is the negative interviews that define the film. Like matinee villains, they are what make this film so interesting, and literally elicit hisses and hoots from audiences. “How did he ever get them to say that?” That is the touch of the master documentarian.  As Max Gerson’s daughter Charlotte repeats her unequivocal statement “it is a scientific fact that the Gerson therapy cures cancer,” in counterpoint the “bad guys” offer up the usual objections: that there is no evidence of success, or whatever evidence there is has been exclusively anecdotal and the records have been kept hidden from investigators. Those old saws collapse into rust as you watch Dying to Have Known. This movie shows, and really quite convincingly, that the evidence for the Gerson therapy is good, is well-documented, and is not being concealed. Rather, the evidence is being ignored.  As you watch the film, skeptics and detractors repeatedly state their demands for placebo-controlled testing of the Gerson therapy. It appears they consider this to be their strongest point. In fact, it may be their weakest. The majority of medical procedures have never been adequately placebo tested. An example might be radiation therapy for cancer. Picture this: a sick, scared patient is told with confidence that, of course, radiation treatments are the best way to kill a given tumor. The patient is then subjected to long waits in waiting rooms with other believers; to high bills for the procedure; to awesomely large equipment with dials, lights, technicians and mysteries; and finally, to being placed nearly naked under or into an imposing machine. 

Dying to Have Known is natural healing right up there on the silver screen where it belongs. It is powerful, fast paced and compelling. If you are skeptical about alternative cancer treatment, see this movie. This film might do more than change your mind. It might change your lifestyle, change the world, and even change modern medicine. If this documentary is not immediately suppressed, millions of chronically ill people will get well. Good heavens, what a concept. [website]

Jacob's Ladder

The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you, he said. They're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and... and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth.

A traumatized Vietnam war veteran finds out that his post-war life isn't what he believes it to be when he's attacked by horned creatures in the subway and his dead son comes to visit him.  This is a highly fascinating and entertaining movie about a Vietnam veteran who always feels like there is somebody or something "out to get him".  He feels this way because he keeps seeing strange images and many people in which he comes in contact with appear to have horns growing out of their heads and whatnot. Him and his war buddies believe that these strange occurrences are the result of something that happened during the war. The best element of this film is its atmosphere and paranormal feel which will really give you the creeps as well as have you guessing what the cause of the strange occurrences that are affecting Jacob really are. Well worth viewing, and if it doesn't grab you on the first viewing, don't hesitate to try it again, you may enjoy it more.

Burzynski The Movie

Burzynski, the Movie is the story of a medical doctor and Ph.D biochemist named Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski who won the largest, and possibly the most convoluted and intriguing legal battle against the Food & Drug Administration in American history.  Cancer is serious business....watch this dramatic expose unfold, and watch for yourself as the FDA and it's incestuous relationship with Big Pharma, seek to first discredit, then co-opt Burzynski's discovery.

Dr. Burzynski resides and practices medicine in Houston, Texas.  He was able to initially produce and administer his discovery without FDA-approval from 1977-1995 because the state of Texas at this time did not require that Texas physicians be required to adhere to Federal law in this situation. This law has since been changed. As with anything that changes current-day paradigms, Burzynski's ability to successfully treat incurable cancer with such consistency has baffled the industry. Ironically, this fact had prompted numerous investigations by the Texas Medical Board, who relentlessly took Dr. Burzynski as high as the state supreme court in their failed attempt to halt his practices. Likewise, the Food and Drug Administration engaged in four Federal Grand Juries spanning over a decade attempting to indict Dr. Burzynski, all of which ended in no finding of fault on his behalf. Finally, Dr. Burzynski was indicted in their 5th Grand Jury in 1995, resulting in two federal trials and two sets of jurors finding him not guilty of any wrongdoing. If convicted, Dr. Burzynski would have faced a maximum of 290 years in a federal prison and $18.5 million in fines. However, what was revealed a few years after Dr. Burzynski won his freedom, helps to paint a more coherent picture regarding the true motivation of the United States government's relentless persecution of Stanislaw Burzynski, M.D., Ph.D. 

When Antineoplastons are approved for public use, it will allow a single scientist to hold an exclusive license to manufacture and sell these medicines on the open market—before they become generic—leaving PhRMA absent in profiting from the most effective gene-targeted cancer treatment the world has ever seen [website]

What the BLEEP Do We Know!?

"Have you ever stopped for a moment and looked at yourself through the eyes of the ultimate observer?"

Directed by William Arntz, Betsy Chasse, Mark Vicente
Filmed in Portland, Oregon, What the Bleep Do We Know blends a fictional story line, documentary-style discussion, and computer animation to present a viewpoint of the physical universe and human life within it, with connections to neuroscience and quantum physics. Three directors are devotees of Ramtha's School of Enlightenment and JZ Knight/Ramtha.  Some ideas discussed are The universe is best seen as constructed from thought (or ideas) rather than from substance.  What has long been considered "empty space" is anything but empty.  Our beliefs about who we are and what is real are not simply observations, but rather form ourselves and our realities. Peptides manufactured in the brain can cause a bodily reaction to an emotion, resulting in a new perspective to old adages such as "think positively" and "be careful what you wish for."  In the narrative segments of the movie, Marlee Matlin portrays Amanda, a deaf photographer who acts as the viewer's avatar as she experiences her life from startlingly new and different perspectives.  In the documentary segments of the film, scientists in quantum physics, biology, medicine, psychiatry, and theology, along with spiritual commentators, discuss the roots and meaning of Amanda's experiences. The comments focus primarily on a single theme: We create our own reality. [website]

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2

In the epic finale, the battle between the good and evil forces of the wizarding world escalates into an all-out war. The stakes have never been higher and no one is safe. But it is Harry Potter who may be called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice as he draws closer to the climactic showdown with Lord Voldemort.

Directed by David Yates
It all ends here. The final chapter begins as Harry, Ron, and Hermione continue their quest of finding and destroying the Dark Lord's three remaining Horcruxes, the magical items responsible for his immortality. But as the mystical Deathly Hallows are uncovered, and Voldemort finds out about their mission, the biggest battle begins and life as they know it will never be the same again. Childhood ends, this time forever, with tears and howls, swirls of smoke, the shock of mortality and bittersweet smiles in the grave, deeply satisfying final movie in the series. A pop cultural happening extraordinaire, the Potter movies took uncertain flight in 2001 with Harry, then an orphan of 11, home alone with his grotesquely unloving relatives. [website]

You Don't Know Jack

Oh, the lingering of death. What a business. Keep death alive. Hospitals don't make money otherwise. Drug companies either. If you're rich and you have the money, you can pay to die. But the poor, they can only afford to stick it out and suffer.

It's not easy to watch the harrowing scenes of terminal patients in great distress. Dr. Jack Kevorkian defies Michigan law assisting the suicide of terminally-ill persons. Support comes from his sister, a lab tech, the Hemlock Society president, and a lawyer. The child of survivors of the Armenian genocide interviews applicants: his sister video tapes them. He assembles a device allowing a person to initiate a three-chemical intravenous drip. The local D.A., the governor, and the Legislature respond. In court scenes, Kevorkian is sometimes antic. He's single-minded about giving dying individuals the right to determine how their lives will end. He wants the Supreme Court to rule. He picks a fight he can't win: is it hubris or heroism? WIth an outstandingly intelligent script, first-class cinematography and stellar performances by all the actors it becomes compelling viewing. Pacino's incredible performance will leave you with the feeling that he has indeed become Dr Kevorkian for us. His powerful acting gains pace as the movie progresses until the final dramatic courtroom scenes end the remarkable story of a pioneer eccentric's human rights obsession. While overtly sympathetic to Kevorkian, all sides of the arguments for or against assisted suicide are fairly presented and leave one thinking about the subject for days. In addition to Pacino's tour de force role I think that Barry Levinson's inspired direction brings this movie to masterpiece status.  [website]

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Evolution Becomes Revolution

The film opens at Gen Sys, a genetic therapy pharmaceutical company.  Genetic therapy is real science. A virus is used to deliver new genetic material to a living organism, thus changing its DNA. This works on children and adults, whereas most genetic manipulation would take place before or at fertilization. A female ape, designated No. 9 (aka "Bright Eyes" by the staff), is working the Towers of Hanoi puzzle. She solves the puzzle in 20 moves; 15 is a perfect score. She is more sociable and calm than normal apes. Will Rodman  talks to his boss, Steve Jacobs, and convinces him that he has data to enable them to proceed with human trials. No. 9 is proof that ALZ 112 works. They must present to the board and get approval.  Cut to Rodman and Jacobs in a conference room presenting to the board the next day. The new drug causes neurogenesis, which allows the brain to grow new brain cells (something that doesn't happen after birth) and heal any number of degenerative brain disorders, such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's. The only side effect is adding a green sparkle to the eyes.

Fault Lines: Fast Food, Fat Profits

One out of every three Americans is obese, but food revolutions are underway and some are fighting back.

Let's dispel the misconception; there is no difference between “fast food” and “junk food”.  Fast food is junk food served fast.  To be fair, the popular target of our fast food angst is usually aimed at the Golden Arches, but their greatest sin is simply the fact that they market and serve their junk food more proficiently than their competitors. Health wise, there is no distinction between any of them. Burger King is no less guilty than McDonald's, or Wendy's for that matter. There are over 300,000 fast food restaurants in the U.S alone, let's not split hairs and point fingers.  At issue is the food itself. Years ago cattle were usually slaughtered between four and five years old. Today, the same cattle are slaughtered between fourteen and sixteen months.  The cattle of old were traditionally fed grass and were allowed to graze and fatten gradually. Given the demand for beef, today's cattle are exposed to a diet of corn, protein, antibiotics, and growth hormones so that they will reach the 1200 lb slaughtering weight in record time. Cattle are not genetically predisposed to digest corn, the antibiotics ensure that the cow will be relatively healthy while growing. Without the antibiotics, the cattle would die. Despite the antibiotics, there are still a myriad of health conditions that effect a great deal of cattle. However, we're not here to argue the ethical treatment of the animals slaughtered, rather what needs to be examined is the health effects consuming these animals has on you, the consumer. [website]

Inside Job

You're gonna make an extra $2 million a year, or $10 million a year for putting your financial institution at risk. Someone else pays the bill, you don't. Would you make that bet? Most people on Wall Street said, 'Sure, I'd make that bet.'

Directed by Charles Ferguson
Takes a closer look at what brought about the financial meltdown. I am always looking for two things on this economic disaster: 1) A better understanding, and 2) a means of explaining it better to others. This film delivers in both counts.  For me the key sequence came when the graphics, under solid narration, illustrated how 3rd tier investors were placing bets on bets. I.e., that's what derivatives are. I always knew this was happening, but the film made it very clear. That was the break point (in my analysis of the problem). The film was nearly void of political leanings, which made it an important contribution. The only part that bothered me is that Congressman Barney Frank was framed as an expert looking back with wisdom on the ill-conceived passage of the "Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000", and, behold! Barney Frank *voted* for it. It would be better to interview all 4 Congressmen who voted against it: Ron Paul, Nick Smith, Gene Taylor and Peter DeFazio. [2 from each Party! How's that for Bipartism opposition? It took me 10 minutes to confirm these names, and I'm not even making a movie.] It is significant that a continuum of hoodlums are seen on the podium with a continuum of Presidents: Regan through Obama. The infestation of their ilk into the Political World is there for all to see. Please see this film any way you can, and lock it in!

Area 51: I Was There

Step inside one of the most notorious places on the planet in Area 51.  That's the tagline for this documentary.  As you start to watch, clearly this is a big disinformation effort.  I mean, come on. Seriously?  Really? Judge for yourself.

Made famous by The X Files and generations of conspiracy theorists, only a select few have been to Area 51, and even fewer have spoken of what lies inside.  But now you can venture beyond the perimeter fence to discover some of its incredible secrets in our ground-breaking special, Area 51: I Was There.  Area 51 was established by the CIA in 1955 to develop classified military projects. Since then the base has gained worldwide notoriety. Satellite images of the area show seven runways and over 25 hangars, and many claim it is here that the US government carries out experiments on everything from UFOs to aliens themselves. Indeed, many insist that the true purpose of the site is to reverse-engineer alien spacecraft recovered from the infamous Roswell crash site. Yet, officially, Area 51 doesn't even exist.  So what really goes on in this remote part of the Nevada desert? Find out from the people who worked there who freely share their stories on camera for the first time. Hear how military workers deceived even their closest family members to work on incredible projects, and how Cold War paranoia fuelled unparalleled levels of secrecy. [website]

Mystery of the Maya

It was not until 1952 that they cleared the elaborately decorated burial chamber and found Pacal the Great, together with the richest treasure in grave offerings ever found in Mesoamerica.

This film is remarkable if not in the originality of it's content, in the pacing and presentation of the information. Consequently it is a potent and affecting educational piece and a perfect introduction to the history of the study of Mayan civilisation, and for more seasoned scholars a feast for the eyes in the cinematographic depiction of famous sites such as Palenque. This film ought to be the staple introduction to all schools in the world regarding this rich, mysterious and long misunderstood culture. Most significant in this film are the reconstructions of archaeologists and artists to first discover and document the famous sites (eg the Lid of Palenque), how they travelled and what equipment and techniques they used in order to document and better understand the obscure creative legacy remaining in stone carvings and architecture and other artifacts. In addition to this are re-enactments of Mayan ceremonies and every day activities which are feasts for the imagination in visualising the every day existence of this remarkable people.  There are two gripes; one being that the information documented is very basic and I did not learn anything new which I may have done had the production been stretched to two parts or feature length but hey, it's a TV show and does very well for what it is.  The other gripe is that there was emphasis on the fact that the Maya were savage, and there was indication that there was slavery involved, but they did not show the glyphs that indicated such.  If you read the credits, you can see this movie was made for tourism, and not really proper education.  Still a good movie to watch for the youngins.

Plastic Planet

We live in the Age of Plastic. It’s cheap and practical, and it’s everywhere – even in our blood. Take a journey around the globe and see for  yourself that plastics have become a threat for both environment and human health.  

Plastic Planet is that rare call-to-action documentary that might rouse viewers to do something more than nod their heads in agreement. A methodically researched yet engaging examination of the environmental and health problems associated with plastic, this wide-ranging warning cry uses an intelligent investigative style along with animation and vintage footage to drive home its message. This feisty, informative documentary takes us on a journey around the globe - from the Moroccan Sahara to the middle of the Pacific Ocean, from a factory in China to the highest peaks of the Alps - to reveal the far-flung reaches of our plastic problem. Interviews with the world’s foremost experts in biology, pharmacology, and genetics shed light on the perils of plastic to our environment and expose the truth of how plastic affects our bodies and the health of future generations.  At once scary and engaging, Plastic Planet is the best kind of advocacy documentary and should be seen by industrialists, academics, and the public at large.

Hot Coffee

The McDonald's coffee case has been routinely cited by the media as an example of how citizens have taken advantage of the legal system. We will show how this case became so popular in the media, who funded the effort and to what end. We will tell the truth and let the audience decide if spilling hot coffee is really as profitable as they might otherwise believe.  I was shocked when I saw what the coffee actually did.  I was shocked.

McDonald's had over 700 complaints about their coffee before this suit . . and ignored them all.  Anyone who actually watched this film would know that the McDonald's case is only the first of several cases discussed in the movie. Anyone who knows about the McDonald's case would know that the injuries suffered by this 79 yr old woman were outrageous. She required skin grafts all over her crotch, most of her buttocks, and much of her upper thighs. She had third degree burns so bad she almost died. This woman was no sleaze, no con artist-- she worked her whole life.   Other reviewers seem to ignore that there has been a concerted movement by Karl Rove and his US Chamber of Commerce pals to stack the deck against individual rights in favor of corporations under the guise of "tort reform" and some of their tactics have been appalling-- and this film discusses that as well.

Chronos

Space, time and matter. While the first might have started at the birth of the universe and the later is created and destroyed everyday, time stands alone. It cannot be undone and if there is anything that can resist time, it is time itself. In this sense time is the most mysterious. Is it even real? Is it only a creation of mankind to explain the beginnings and the ends? In Greek Mythology, Chronos is known to be the god of time.

A film created with custom-built time-lapse cameras. At 45 minutes long, Chronos has no actors or dialog. The soundtrack consists of a single continuous piece by composer Michael Stearns. Filmed in dozens of locations on five continents, the film relates to the concept of time passing on different scales -- the bulk of the film covers the history of civilization, from pre-history to Egypt to Rome to Late Antiquity to the rise of Western Europe in the Middle Ages to the Renaissance to the modern era. It centers on European themes but not exclusively. Other time scales include the passing of seasons, and the passing of night and day, and the passing shadows of the sun in an afternoon to the passing of people on the street. These themes intermingle with many symbolisms. Special camera mechanics and rigging were built to handle the unusually long and smooth time-lapse shots planned by the director, such as a 24-hour shot of a desert while perfectly-evenly panning 180 degrees.

Bill Hicks: Relentless

I can speak for every guy here in this room tonight. Guys, if you could blow yourselves, ladies, you'd be in this room alone right now... watching an empty stage. Boy, my folks are proud of me. "Bill, honey, you still doing that suck-your-own-cock bit?"

Bill Hicks  tells us how he feels about non-smokers, blow-jobs, religion, war and peace, drugs and music. Outspoken and raw, not mincing matters, Bill Hicks tells us that, just like smokers, non-smokers also die every day - with jogging instructor Jim Fixx as an example -, asks women what's so terrible about giving head, talks us through what really happened during the 1990-1991 Gulf War and how the used technology could have also been used to feed the poor of the world. He also explains why it's true drugs have done good things for us, wonders in what mood Jesus will come back to earth íf he decides to come back and, near the end of the show, most passionately yells music should be played with ones heart. Relentless is worth checking out and it is significant that, even so many years later it still feels relevant and fresh in most areas - something that similar comedians cannot often manage. Not the funniest comedy you'll ever hear, nor the most insightful commentary either but what Hicks did do very well was blend the two so they both work at the same high level and Relentless is a good example of why his name lives on long after his death.

Tron

The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships, motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day...

Sam Flynn, a rebellious 27-year-old, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father Kevin Flynn, a man once known as the world's leading video-game developer. When Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the old Flynn's Arcade -- a signal that could only come from his father-- he finds himself pulled into a digital world where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years. With the help of the fearless warrior Quorra, father and son embark on a life-or-death journey across a cyber universe -- a universe created by Kevin himself that has become far more advanced with vehicles, weapons, landscapes and a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to prevent their escape.

The film opens with a flashback to 1989 as Kevin Flynn - now the CEO of ENCOM - tells his son Sam a story about his adventures in the Grid and about how he, Tron and Clu discovered something amazing and miraculous. Sam asks about it but is told to wait for next time as Kevin leaves for work. It then cuts to a montage of events and news reports about Kevin's disappearance, which has not only jeopardized ENCOM's future, but orphaned Sam.

In the present day, the now-adult Sam breaks into the ENCOM Tower and , despite the efforts of the board - including the son of Ed Dillinger steals Encom's new software, releasing it online. After being chased to the top of the tower by a security guard, Sam reveals himself and attempts to freefall off the tower only for his parachute to snag on a traffic light, and he is arrested shortly after freeing himself.

Panels of astrophysicists, nuclear physicists, abductees, and former top-secret-clearance military personnel make up just a portion of highly decorated and influential speakers.

Attorney Daniel Sheehan will expand his observations in response to the Vatican’s shocking announcement that there is another highly-advanced non-human species elsewhere in our galaxy and that this likely extraterrestrial species is going to be discovered by humans in just a few short years. Sheehan will explain why he believes it is incumbent to prepare people for the various implications which will arise with the possible arrival of these beings. Daniel Sheehan is a social activist who has spent virtually his entire life working on progressive social programs and initiatives. As the legal counsel on such nationally-recognized investigative cases involving government covert operations as the Karen Silkwood case, the Iran/Contra case, the Pentagon Papers case, the Watergate Burglary case, and the American Sanctuary Movement case, Daniel brings to the issue of Extraterrestrial Intelligence and the UFO Phenomenon a unique background in investigating and exposing the world of American governmental covert operations, “black budget” operations, mind control programs, government disinformation projects, covert warfare and clandestine operations. He established the Christic Institute in Washington, DC, which for nearly two decades was the country’s preeminent public-interest law firm. [website]

Out In The Silence

I've lived in Washington, D.C. for twenty years. It's where I met Dean, playing pick-up basketball, and made a life for myself. But no matter how long you've been away from home or how much you've changed, the place, you were born and raised in, always stays some place deep inside. For me, that place is Oil City. A small town with small town values in the hills of western Pennsylvania.

A gray winter sky hangs over lonely city streets, rotted oil derricks, and abandoned factories. This is Oil City, Pennsylvania, a fading industrial town in the heart of the American rust belt. It is the sort of town that Barrack Obama had in mind when he made his infamous comments about bitter small town residents clinging to their guns and religion as they watch the rest of the world pass them by. The peace and quiet is shattered when the filmmaker, Oil City native Joe Wilson, places the announcement of his wedding to another man in the local paper. The announcement catches the eye of Kathy Springer, a local woman whose teenage son, CJ, is being brutally tormented at school because he is gay. Ignored by the school authorities and with no where else to turn, she seeks help from Wilson and they begin a difficult but ultimately successful struggle to take on the school authorities who made every day "eight hours of pure hell" for CJ.  The announcement has a very different effect on Diane Gramley, head of the local chapter of the ultra-conservative American Family Association. Infuriated by the prospect of the "homosexual agenda" invading her little town, she issues an action alert calling on townspeople to denounce same sex marriage and all other forms of "perversion". Over the next four years Wilson navigates the ins and outs of being different in a conservative small town. He makes an unexpected friendship with an evangelical pastor that demonstrates the understanding that can develop when people on different sides of an issue lay down their swords and get to know one another. And he helps a lesbian couple renovate an historical downtown theatre that could catalyze the town's economic revitalization - if the community will accept them. The greatest change occurs in Wilson himself as he realizes that while maverick acts such as the publication of his wedding announcement can create a splash, creating lasting change in small towns takes the courage and ongoing commitment [website]

Nederwiet the Movie

Nederwiet is a common Dutch name for a "skunk" variation of marijuana bred in the Netherlands for its high potency with THC levels approaching 30% in some varieties. The name is derived from the Dutch words for The Netherlands, Nederland, and for weed, wiet.

The Teledocproductie IDTV Docs NCRV and shows the same concern as hilarious cat and mouse game by growers, coffee shop owners, police and judges are played around the back of the coffeeshop. But what is it all about? A plant. Processed weeds. And everyone knows what the proverb says about weeds. The coffee shop was thirty years the unique symbol of Dutch tolerance and freedom. But in recent years the marijuana industry seems to have lost his innocence. The tolerance that the door of the coffee shop to make an ordinary shop door, is intended not provide a good control of production and supply of trade: the back door. And thus, the coffee shop actually on the border of the upper and the underworld. The controversial documentary Teledoc Nederweed stepped through the back door of the coffee shop in the underworld. A world where nothing can be said with certainty.  But where idealism and pleasure seem to slowly lose out to greed and violence. [website]

Who Really Discovered America?

America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up. Everyone recognizes that many people were in America long before Columbus. The Asiatic peoples who became Native Americans were certainly the first, tens of thousands of years ago. Also Norse expeditions to North America, starting with Bjarni Herjolfsson in 986, are well established historically. Many other pre-Columbian discoveries are not well established. Claims have been made for St. Brendan, Basque fishermen, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Africans, and even Carthaginians.

While it is true that Zheng He made a number of important voyages, none of them went beyond the Indian Ocean, as numerous contemporary Chinese accounts make clear. A number of notable scholars have quietly demonstrated that Menzies' evidence is tissue-thin and his claims unfounded. Even though Columbus wasn't the first, his discovery (or re-discovery, if you prefer) is rightly regarded as the most historically important, and will continue to be -- even if other earlier claims are eventually proven true. That is because, unlike the others, Columbus inaugurated permanent large scale two-way commerce between the Old World and the New. Previous discoveries were so obscure that almost no one in either hemisphere was aware of the other hemisphere's existence prior to Columbus. But after Columbus, everyone knew. This documentary explores the possibility a number of explorers discovered the New World long before Christopher Columbus staked his claim in 1492. No less than a dozen cultures have tales of these adventurers woven into their histories, but they are noticeably absent in American history books.

Creation

Suppose the whole world stopped believing that God had any sort of plan for us?

What happens when a world-renowned scientist, crushed by the loss of his eldest daughter, formulates a theory in conflict with religious dogma? This is the story of Charles Darwin and his master-work "The Origin of Species". It tells of a global revolution played out the confines of a small English village; a passionate marriage torn apart by the most dangerous idea in history; and a theory saved from extinction by the logic of a child. Of all the greatest men in science, Charles Darwin stands taller than most. His superior intellectual searching and inevitably, his persistent exercise in evolutionary logic, gave mankind the tools with which to eventually determine the Origins of Man. In point of fact, this film, ably directed by Jon Ameil, is called " Creation " and answers the eternal question for all open-minded students, teachers and inquisitive scientists alike. Moreover, the poignant film also endeavors to unveil a portion of the private life behind the real Darwin.  Darwin himself was not only a practical man, but a deeply sensitive father and husband. Herein audiences discover that throughout his life and during his subsequent marriage to his cousin Emma, Charles pays dearly for his revolutionary ideas. The story touches his association with Captain Fitzroy, Joseph Hooker and his most ardent supporter Thomas Huxley. However, it also reveals just how deeply he loved his children, especially his favorite daughter Annie.  All in all, the movie is exceptional and for audiences of every age, a Classic story.
