Free Trade Is Killing My Mother (TVO TVrip 20080824)

Category: Documentary
Description:
In the spring of April 2001, Toronto journalist and filmmaker Jamie Kastner was out of work and his parents were out of town. So, he took their little "red" van and went to join the revolution. Jamie drove to Quebec City with his friend Guy O'Sullivan in a Roger and Me-style journey to join the protest against the Summit of the Americas. Free Trade Is Killing My Mother is a record of their journey. With Starbucks in one hand and anti-globalization bible No Logo in the other, Kastner takes the revolution to task. Kastner's play at Canadian middle-class naïvété is a weapon, asking a tourism employee where the best places to throw bombs might be, and whether "this auberge has a portrait of Chairman Mao." He exposes the contradictory jumble of goals that divide the protestors, and even pokes bitter fun at his college competitor, Naomi Klein. Shot from the hip on Mini DV, intercut with protest footage from the Russian Revolution to Berkeley in the 1960s, Free Trade Is Killing My Mother is Kastner's directorial debut. Kastner has worked on a wide range of documentaries and series for TVO, CBC, and MuchMusic. He is also a regular columnist and feature writer for The Globe and Mail, and a produced playwright. ============================================================== Name.............: ViewFromHere.FreeTradeIsKillingMyMother.xvid.avi Filesize..........: 698 MB (or 715,128 KB or 732,291,072 bytes) Runtime.........: 00:45:09 (81,179 fr) Video Codec...: XviD Video Bitrate...: 1983 kb/s FPS...............: 29.970 Audio Codec...: 0x0055(MP3) ID'd as MPEG-1 Layer 3 Audio Bitrate...: 171 kb/s (85/ch, stereo) VBR LAME3.97 Frame Size.....: 640x480 (1.33:1) [=4:3] Frame Quality..: 0.215 bits/pixel ------------ Content Type: [Documentary]

History of the French Anarchist Movement, 1917 to 1945 - David Berry

Category: eBooks, Magazines, Audio Books
Description:
David Berry's study is the first English-language evaluation of the development and lessons of the French anarchist movement between the wars. Using an impressive array of archival sources and personal interviews, Berry's original research explores the debates and growing pains of a massive, working-class, revolutionary movement facing great obstacles and uncertainty. Focusing on the organized wings of the movement—the anarcho-communist and syndicalist groups—it offers a ringside seat to the legacy of the First International, the upheaval of the Russian Revolution and subsequent Bolshevik treachery, and the fight against fascism. Includes an introduction from archivist and historian Barry Pateman. "I think Berry's book deals with two constant and re-occurring questions in the history of anarchist practice; are anarchists ever able to create organizations that are supple and nuanced enough to be faithful to the complexities of anarchist practices and relationships, and who should or can anarchists work with in order to dismantle capitalism and replace it with a society predicated on voluntary agreement, equality, and mutual aid? ... Research of this high quality reminds us that we have much more to do before we start throwing around too many generalizations about where we are now as anarchists and what needs to be done to allow anarchy to flourish and grow. There is still much for us all to learn. Time to get on with it."—Barry Pateman, from the Introduction "Berry has done an amazing job of poring through the speeches, the newspapers, the reports of meetings of all the various strands of the anarchist movement to develop a coherent story of changing anarchist ideology in the 1920s and 1930s."— H-France "We should applaud a study which has no equivalent in French and which does not fear bringing to light the hesitations and the U-turns, but also the lucidity and the courage of many militants."—Réfractions Dave Berry has been active on the Left in one way or another for over 30 years, most recently in the local branch of his union. He teaches French and politics at Loughborough University (UK). A founding member of the Anarchist Studies Network, he is also reviews editor of the journal Anarchist Studies.

History's Turning Points - The Russian Revolution - History International

Category: Documentary
Description:
After the abduction of Tsar Nicholas II in March 1917, two former boyhood friends fought for control of the vast Russian Empire. By October, after months of civil unrest, Vladimir Lenin overthrew his archrival Alexander Kerensky and created a one-party dictatorship of the proletariat. Thus began a 70-year experiment with communism that would embrace--often in a stranglehold--every aspect of Russian life. We look at the crucial moments in this pivotal point in history and the principal characters involved in its outcome. The latest historical research, documented firsthand accounts, and exclusive dramatizations bring the struggle to vivid life. Good video footages. sdtv rip, divx, 30 minutes few commercials was not removed!
