Eyes on the Prize: The Time Has Come (1964-66)/Two Societies (1965-68)
AAS VT0639D

THE TIME HAS COME (1964-1966) Vol. 4 In South & urban North, leaders emerged who helped transform civil rights movement into a broader struggle for human rights. Their message was direct: "The Time Has Come." This urgency was best articulated by Malcolm X who exhorted African Americans to build a base of power founded on self-respect, self-reliance, & independent Black institutions. The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee responded to Malcolm's call by launching an independent political party in Alabama using the symbol of a black panther to counter existing Democratic Party's white rooster. Malcolm X's influence also reverberated in call for "Black Power," raised by SNCC chairman Stokely Carmichael during a march through MS. TWO SOCIETIES (1965-1968) Vol. 4 "Two Societies" reveals divisions that existed between African Americans & Whites in America's cities where African Americans had gained little from southern freedom movement by late '60s. In Chicago one of most segregated cities in country, we see southern civil rights movement's attempt to bring nonviolent movement noth. Dr. King & his Southern Christian Leadership Conference led protest marches through White suburbs where its nonviolent methods were tested. In Detroit tensions exploded during the summer of 67 & more than 100 cities shared the pain of racial violence. A presidential commission warned that America had become "2 societies, separate & unequal".

No Logo: Brands Globalization Resistance
DOC VT1400

In the age of the brand, logos are everywhere. But why do some of the world's best-known brands find themselves on the wrong end of the spray paint can - the targets of anti-corporate campaigns by activists & protestors? No Logo, based on best-selling book by journalist & activist Naomi Klein, reveals the reasons behind the backlash against the increasing economic & cultural reach of multinational companies. Analyzing how brands like Nike, The Gap & Tommy Hilfiger became revered symbols worldwide, Klein argues that globalization is a process whereby corporations discovered that profits lay not in making products (outsourced to low-wage workers in developing countries), but in creating branded identities people adopt in their lifestyles. Using hundreds of media examples, No Logo shows how the commercial takeover of public space, destruction of consumer choice, & replacement of real jobs with temporary work - the dynamics of corporate globalization - impact everyone, everywhere. It also draws attention to the democratic resistance arising globally to challenge the hegemony of brands. 42 min

Rich Media
DOC VT1401

If a key indicator of the health of a democracy is the state of its journalism, the United States is in deep trouble. In Rich Media, Poor democracy Robert McChesney lays the blame for this state of affairs at the doors of the corporate boardrooms of big media, which far from delivering on their promises of more choice & more diversity, have organized a system characterized by a lack of competition, homogenization of opinion & formulaic programming. Through numerous examples, it is demonstrated how journalism has been compromised by the corporate bosses of conglomerates such as Disney, Sony, Viacom, News Corp & AOL Time Warner to produce a system of news that is high on sensationalism & low on information. They suggest that unless citizen activism can reclaim the commons, this new corporate system will be characterized by a rich media & an every impoverished, poor democracy.

Independent Media In A Time Of War
DOC VT1438

Part scathing critique, part call to action. It reminds us that dialogue is vital to a healthy democracy, and that independent media has a crucial responsibility in times of war to "go to where the silence is" to represent the diverse voices of people engaged in dissent.

Goodman criticizes the refusal to report civilian war casualities during the 2003 Iraq invasion and the new phenomenon of "embedded reporters" as examples of a pro-military bias in the corporate press, as she makes the case for an expanded and emboldened independent media movement. color/VHS/approx 30 min/contains graphic imagery of war/not rated
