Noam Chomsky

Ryan Gosling and Phillip Montgomery investigate the issues facing today's youth and the factors behind the Occupy Wall Street movement. The discussion of apathy found in today's generation leads to the exploration of technology, our disconnect with nature, how we consume, our loss of history, and the social and economic factors holding many of us back from becoming more active participants in our communities and society as a whole. This fast-paced documentary is interspersed with the knowledge, wisdom, and personal reflections of some of the country's leading scholars, social activists, and media personalities including Noam Chomsky, Amy Goodman, Andrew Bacevich, Talib Kweli, STS9, Kalle Lasn (founder of Adbusters, who originated the call to action for the Occupy Wall Street movement) and the late Howard Zinn. An original score by Sound Tribe Sector 9 (STS9).

The story traces John Lennon's life from the period 1966 to 1976, where Lennon transforms into an antiwar activist, one in constant conflict with the U.S. government and its views.

Trailer for the documentary Paul Goodman Changed My Life. Paul Goodman was once so ubiquitous in the American zeitgeist that he merited a cameo in Woody Allen's Annie Hall. Author of legendary bestseller Growing Up Absurd (1960), Goodman was also a poet, 1940s out queer (and family man), pacifist, visionary, co-founder of Gestalt therapy and a moral compass for many in the burgeoning counterculture of the '60s. Paul Goodman Changed My Life immerses you in an era of high intellect (that heady, cocktail-glass juncture that Mad Men has so effectively exploited) when New York was peaking culturally and artistically; when ideas, and the people who propounded them, seemed to punch in at a higher weight class than they do now. Using a treasure trove of archival multimedia selections from Goodman's poetry (read by Garrison Keillor and Edmund White); quotes from Susan Sontag, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Noam Chomsky; plentiful footage of Goodman himself; plus interviews with his family, peers and activists director/producer Jonathan Lee and producer/editor Kimberly Reed (Prodigal Sons) have woven together a rich portrait of an intellectual heavyweight whose ideas are long overdue for rediscovery.

The Kingdom of Survival -- The Kingdom of Survival is an interdisciplinary documentary combining speculative travelogue and investigative journalism in order to trace possible links between survivalism, spirituality, art, radical politics, outlaw culture, alternative media and fringe philosophy. Circling through themes of utopianism, globalized capitalism, anarchism, intellectual and spiritual self-defense, religion and art, the film investigates physical and psychological survival strategies practiced by groups and individuals in a conflict-ridden and confused post-post- modern world. Maverick writer and filmmaker M.A. Littler hits the outlaw highway in search of visions that challenge the status quo. On his journey Littler crosses paths with renowned linguist and dissident Prof. Noam Chomsky, outlaw historian Dr. Mark Mirabello, gonzo journalist Joe Bageant, legendary reclusive cabin builder Mike Oehler, anarchist book publisher Ramsey Kanaan, egalitarian radio host Sasha Lilley and folk musician Will 'The Bull' Taylor. Together they explore radical and alternative visions for the 21st century.

POLITICS OF U.S. OCCUPATION (rconcep1.blogspot.com) To request free DVD copy, contact: politics.of.us.occupation@gmail.com Politics of U.S. Occupation features Professors Noam Chomsky (MIT), Neferti Tadiar (Barnard College), Nerissa Balce (Stony Brook University) and Kenneth Bauzon (St. Joseph s College) who analyze the 1899 Philippine-American War in order to rediscover its historical continuities to post-9/11 America. This 30-minute documentary was submitted during the summer of 2010 in fulfillment of the thesis film graduation requirement of the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Film and Electronic Media at American University School of Communication-Washington DC. It was submitted in the Master s Portfolio Seminar class of Prof. John Douglass. The thesis film adviser was Prof. Russell Williams. The thesis committee members were Professors Maggie Stogner, Maria Floro and Robin Broad. The use of third party audio-visual images and excerpts in POLITICS OF U.S. OCCUPATION was guided by the Documentary Filmmakers' Statement of Best Practices in Fair Use published by American University-Center for Social Media website: http://www.centerforsocialmedia.org/fair-use SYNOPSIS The purpose of the half-hour documentary, Politics of U.S. Occupation, was to challenge the historical awareness of the audience as it explores the following: Part 1 argues the idea that the Philippine-American war of 1899 (and not World War II) is the foundation of Philippine-U.S. relations. The Part 1 also visually shows footage of World War II combat and deaths that were just as traumatic as the images of the Philippine American war. Part 2 describes the idea that the Philippine-American war of 1899 was characterized by systematic use of torture (despite official U.S. denials). One of the torture techniques used in the Philippines was the water cure - better known now as water boarding. Part 3 explains the idea that the brutality of the Philippine-American war was not much different fr

'It makes no difference who you vote for - the two parties are really one party representing four percent of the people' - Gore Vidal For the first time in 14 years, weapons manufacturers are donating more to Democrats than to Republicans. The Dems have received 52 percent of the defense industry's political donations in this election cycle--up from a low of 32 per cent in 1996. That money is about shaping foreign policy, and so far, it appears to be well spent. Naomi Klein and Jeremy Scahill * PLAYERS NOT CHEER LEADERS Everything in war is barbaric... But the worst barbarity of war is that it forces men collectively to commit acts against which individually they would revolt with their whole being. - Ellen Key Let alone the fact that most of the voting will be done on Diebold & friends machines, exposing American democracy as the sinister & cynical farce it has become under the proto-fascism Bush/Cheney junta.

This 30-minute documentary is an American University MFA thesis film project featuring Professors Noam Chomsky, Neferti Tadiar, Nerissa Balce and Kenneth Bauzon who analyze the contemporary relevance of the 1899 Philippine-American War for the 21st century U.S. empire. The use of third party footage/images were guided by the Documentary Filmmakers' Statement of Best Practices in Fair Use published by American University-Center for Social Media website: http://www.centerforsocialmedia.org/fair-use Part 1 argues the idea that the bloody War of 1899 (and not World War 2) is the foundation of Philippine-U.S. relations. The Part 1 also visually shows footage of World war 2 combat and deaths that are just as brutal and traumatic as the footage of the 1899 combat and deaths. Part 2 describes the idea that the war of 1899 is one characterized by systematic use of torture (despite official denials), one of which, the WATER CURE, can even claim to be the grandfather of the Post-9/11 Dick Cheney 'water-boarding WAR ON TERROR happy hour drink special' Part 3 explains the brutality/racism of the 1899 Philippine-American War as not so much different from the brutality/racism of her previous wars of conquest of indigenous cultures commonly called the Indian Wars (most of the Indian dead photographs, as well as re-enactment movies as shown in the film were related to the infamous 1890 Wound Knee Massacre). We also learn in Part 3 that this turn of the century systematic and violent repression of nationalist uprisings in the Philippines became the template used by the U.S. in its many military occupations in Latin America and the Caribbean in the 20th century. Part 4 ends with the idea of interconnectedness of domestic and overseas conflicts as violence migrates from the brutality of the Indian wars (e.g. 1890 Wounded Knee massacre) to the Philippine-American war abuses (e.g. 1906 Bud Dajo massacre) and to its 21st century echoes of human rights atrocities in the
