A Death in Tehran-PBS FrontLine-November 17, 2009

Category: Documentary
Description:
A Death in Tehran-PBS FrontLine-November 17, 2009 sdtv xvid 16x9 700kbps At the height of the protests following Iran's controversial presidential election this summer, a young woman named Neda Agha Soltan was shot and killed on the streets of Tehran. Her death -- filmed on a camera phone, then uploaded to the Web -- quickly became an international outrage, and Soltan became the face of a powerful movement that threatened the hard-line government's hold on power. In A Death in Tehran, FRONTLINE revisits the events of last summer, shedding new light on Neda's life and death and the movement she helped inspire. In response to the international outcry over Neda's death -- including President Obama's confirmation that he'd seen the "heartbreaking" video on YouTube -- the regime set about attempting to rewrite the story, pointing a finger at the CIA and outside agitators, the same forces they blamed for the mass street protests and allegations of vote rigging that led to the greatest upheaval in Iran since the revolution of 1979. FRONTLINE uncovers some video of Neda's killer -- a member of the Basij militia who'd been brought into Tehran by the regime's Revolutionary Guards to stamp out the "Green Revolution." A medical doctor in the crowd who had watched Neda die now watched as the crowd considered its own violence against the Basij militia member: "They started to discuss what to do with him," the doctor recalled. "They grabbed his wallet, took out his ID card and started shouting, 'He is a Basiji member; he is one of them,' and started swearing and cursing him, and he was begging for people not to harm him or kill him. ... They believed the police wouldn't do anything to him as the Basiji are really powerful and he would have easily have got away, so in all of the chaos they decided to release him." The Iranian government admits 11 protesters were killed on June 20, but doctors from three Tehran hospitals confirmed at least 34 deaths. Other bodies were buried by security forces without first being identified. In October, the regime tried to script the end of the story for Neda. But instead, Neda's mother made a very public stand. The government offered her financial help if she would blame Neda's death on opponents of the regime. All she had to do was to agree to call Neda a "martyr" for the Islamic Republic. But she refused, telling FRONTLINE: "Neda died for her country not so I could get a monthly income from the Martyr Foundation. If these officials say Neda was a martyr, why do they keep wiping off the word 'martyr' which people write in red on her gravestone?"

Spring Awakening (2006) CAM avi

Category: Misc
Description:
I pulled out Judith Levine's "Harmful to Minors". I had read it already but always wanted to return to it. This put me in mind of a Levine review of a play some time back. I looked up the review of Spring Awakening at The Nation. Spring Awakening is now a musical. I was incredulous. The original play was written in 1891 and has scandalized generation after generation, is rarely produced and is always criticized as being not appropriate for minors-- when it's about minors-- 14 year olds to be specific. The play copy is very hard to find-- about 2 in the state library system. As I was reading about the play I tjhought of the exceptional work the high schools are doing over the past couple years. I wonder if there's a prospect for a student production? Now in 2009 I have reposted the CAM from an Off Broadway production in 2006. A CAM of a live stage set piece will, of its nature, be static. Try to envision yourself in the audience for the single perspective. That helps. Since torrents of movies and documentaries and audio content are now common, I see the next big breakthrough to come in this type of CAM: those who would share live theater for analysis of more productions especially for young actors. Where I live a production of Urinetown came to the local performing arts center. A short time later when the play was released for performance, a high school did the play here. Like some of my other torrents such as Marat Sade and Peter Watkins' "La Commune" and The Living Theater "Signals Through The Flames" I see live theater as a way to raise awareness of the subjects we explore on OBT.

sdtv xvid 16x9 700kpbs Is a coastal catastrophe approaching, and what should we be doing about it? Imagine you lived in a world of water. Your home is two-feet under. You wade through it, cook on it, and sleep above it. This is the reality for hundreds of thousands of people around the world, coastal populations on the front lines of climate change. Only weeks before world leaders meet in Copenhagen to discuss climate change, NOW senior correspondent Maria Hinojosa travels to Bangladesh to examine some innovative solutions—from floating schools to rice that can "hold its breath" underwater—being implemented in a country where entire communities are inundated by water, battered by cyclones, and flooded from their homes. The Denmark conference can't come soon enough. Scientists' project global seas will flood 20 percent of Bangladesh by 2030, stranding some 35 million climate refugees. Some are proposing that industrial nations who contribute to global warming should open their doors to displaced Bangladeshis.

Category: Documentary
Description:
Taking On Big Tobacco 2008 07 01 BBC 480.51 MB /50.06 mn/ Xvid British American Tobacco rock concert at Blantyre, Malawi defies cigarette promo laws In this hard hitting investigation businessman Duncan Bannatyne travels to Malawi, Mauritius and Nigeria and discovers tactics BAT are using which circumvent bans on advertising and raise the profile of cigarettes in countries where doctors are already predicting a potential epidemic of smoking- related diseases. This comes after previous investigations raised concerns at the marketing techniques used by the company - which led BAT to say that they're not targeting youth. BAT's own marketing code acknowledges that single cigarettes are particularly attractive to youth (who may not be able to afford a whole packet of cigarettes) and BAT claim that they do not encourage the sale of single sticks because it encourages youth access. Yet in Mauritius, Bannatyne discovers special pots which BAT have distributed to shops to make it easier for them to sell single cigarettes. In Malawi and Nigeria he discovers posters that BAT have produced depicting single cigarettes and showing the price of a single cigarette. He also meets children as young as 11 who are buying the single cigarettes and already developing a nicotine habit With secretly shot footage, the programme shows the pungwe or music events organised by BAT in Malawi which show cigarettes as sexy, exciting and fun. The concert features some of Malawi's most popular bands wearing branded T shirts, In an interview with Chris Proctor, Head of Research and Regulation at BAT, Bannatyne challenges him on the issue of single cigarettes and other tactics he believes are breaching their marketing code http://www.hardcashproductions.com/recent35.html SEE ALSO: The Tobacco Conspiracy~ https://onebigtorrent.org/torrents/5760/The-Tobacco-Conspiracy-2006- File Name: This World - Bannatyne Takes On Big Tobacco (1st July 2008) [TVRip (Xvid)].avi Source: http://www.thebox.bz/details.php?id=94606 Cap: rooboy86
