La Joven Revolucion Hondureña

Category: Documentary
Description:
SYNOPSIS: This documentary "The young Honduran revolution" was made by German-Danish activist Johannes Wilm. While working for the revolutionary Nicaraguan government he snuck across the border to Honduras in early August to document the resistance movement in the neighboring Central American republic, after a military coup had overthrown Leftist president Manuel Zelaya on June 28th. By coincidence he documents how for the first time in nearly thirty years the majority of students rise up against the police in a battle of 3000 students fighting police on the campus of the Autonomous University of Honduras in Tegucigalpa on August 5th. The documentary shows where the student leaders come from, what their analysis of the current situation is, what plans they have for changing it, and what perspective for the future they see both for them personally and for the country at large. It is 90 minutes long and it is made in Spanish with English subtitles. The film has so far been shown in various cities in the south west and in 12 countries in Latin America. It has been featured by a number of Latin American magazines and in the US by the Monthly Review and the Upside Down World site. It will be shown in Los Angeles at the "Human Rights Film Festival" on the 23rd of October, then in Hermosillo, Sonora where it will be shown to journalist students of Kino University on the 27th and to other students at the University of Sonora on the 29th. In Arizona where it will be shown amongst other places at the U of A on the 9th of November and at ASU in Phoenix on the 4th and. At UC Berkley the SDS will present it on the 12th of November.

It is important to us that the world sees what happens in broad daylight, so that we may better stand together in the fight for democracy and human rights. If you like this film (or even if you dislike it), please help us spread the word. You can comment the film here, at the blog of the filmmaker, or at the facebook page for the documenary.

Description:
Socialist Standard magazine November 2009 - Front cover: ‘Twenty years beyond the Berlin Wall’ Editorial – ‘Socialism Was Never Tried’ Features ‘The fall of “communism”: Why so peaceful?’ Twenty years ago the Berlin Wall came down, symbolising the collapse of state capitalism in Eastern Europe. ‘The Myth of Soviet “Socialism”’ Vladimir Sirotin from Russia explains how that country was never socialist. ‘Workers’ State? Pull the other one’ How could anyone have seriously argued that the workers ruled in Russia? ‘Joining the killing machine’ The campaign to win the young to war has come a long way from the ‘Your Country Needs You’ poster with the pointing finger of Kitchener used in the ‘First Great War’. ‘Afghanistan – lying about dying’ The pressure to misinterpret the deaths, as the bodies come back, as nobly purifying is a cynically orchestrated propaganda exercise intended to justify the war. Regular features - Pathfinders (science / technology) – ‘Gullibility Travels’ Material World – ‘Malawi: Children of the Tobacco Fields’ Pieces Together – news cuttings from mainstream media Cooking the Books 1 (economics) – ‘Out of Control’ Cooking the Books 2 - ‘Free is Cheaper?’ 50 Years Ago – ‘The Darwin Centenary’ Voice From the Back - selected news items Free Lunch – cartoon Book Reviews – ‘Che Guevara and the Economic Debate in Cuba’, by Luiz Bernardo Pericás ‘Voodoo Histories: The Role of the Conspiracy Theory in Shaping Modern History’ by David Aaronovitch ‘The Trouble with Capitalism’, by Harry Shutt ‘Enough’, by John Naish Plus letters, book reviews, meetings, etc. Also see www.worldsocialism.org

Revolutionary Anti-Imperialist Movement [RAIM] Resource Pack - [Third-Worldist & Anti-Capitalist Thought]

Category: Misc
Description:
An assortment of activist resources from RAIM-Denver. Includes: short films, 2008 'zine, pamphlets, booklets, fliers, posters, images, and 2009 digests #'s 1-5. Most resources are also available at: raimdarchives.wordpress.com/ See below for additional links. About RAIM-Denver: - What is RAIM-Denver? A loosely organized group of dedicated activists, agitators, and intellectuals who work to proliferate anti-imperialist thought and action. - What does RAIM-Denver want? A utopian society. We want a world free from oppression of groups by groups and people by people. A world without imperialism, capitalism, patriarchy, national oppression, or youth oppression. We want a world based on egalitarianism and mutuality. -Why is RAIM-Denver so focused on anti-imperialism? Because we are revolutionary humanitarians. People live off of three dollars a day, not because they are workers, women or children, but because they were born into the Third World. Everything is connected. The affluence of the First World is directly causative of the poverty in the Third World. The destruction of imperialism is the first step towards a mutualistic society. -So what then? Continuous revolution. We believe revolution is a never-ending process involving the masses of people against all forms of oppression, both current and those which may yet arise. Overthrowing imperialism is simply the primary task of revolution today. -What exactly do you do? We agitate and educate against imperialism through a variety of means: we shout down oppressors, often through a bullhorn; we maintain a blog where we report on upcoming and past events; we research, produce and distribute anti-imperialist literature and videos; we show up to protests and other events; we do solidarity work for various national liberation movements; and we conduct educational workshops from time to time. The possibilities for revolutionary action are limitless when anti-imperialism is the guiding principle. Boring Disclaimer: Yo! Just because RAIM-Denver recommends, republishes or distributes this literature it does not imply any kind of organizational tie or affiliation. Nor does it mean we agree with everything in it. RAIM-Denver recommends and distributes a wide variety of anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, national liberation,feminist and revolutionary material. RAIM-Denver does not profit from the reproduction or distribution of such materials. RAIM-Denver does not even break even on the cost of promoting such materials. RAIM-Denver is not led or funded by any other organization. Any donations will stay with RAIMDenver and be used to continue our local, regional and national work.

Category: Misc
Description:
Lord of War (2005) This film charts the rise and fall of Yuri Orlov, from his early days in the early 1980s in Little Odessa, selling guns to mobsters in his local neighbourhood, through to his ascension through the decade of excess and indulgence into the early 90s, where he forms a business partnership with an African warlord and his psychotic son. The film also charts his relationship through the years with his younger brother, his marriage to a famous model, his relentless pursuit by a determined federal agent and his inner demons that sway between his drive for success and the immorality of what he does.

Category: Documentary
Description:
A Hidden America-Children of the Mountains 2009 02 13 (20/20) 350mib / 40mins In the hills of Central Appalachia, up winding, mountain roads, is a place where children and families face unthinkable conditions, living without what most Americans take for granted. Isolated pockets in Central Appalachia have three times the national poverty rate, an epidemic of prescription drug abuse, the shortest life span in the nation, toothlessness, incest, cancer and chronic depression. It's been 41 years since Robert Kennedy called on the rest of America to reach out and help the people of Appalachia. These are the descendents of Davey Crockett, Daniel Boone, Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline and the families of legendary soldiers and pioneers who helped open up the treacherous mountain passes and create an American continent. They are fighters steeped in family, ferocity and faith. For nearly two years, ABC News cameras followed four Appalachian children, each one facing unimaginable obstacles. "A Hidden America: Children of the Mountains" is a continuation of Diane Sawyer's reporting on America's forgotten children. Sawyer won an Emmy for outstanding feature story in a news magazine for "Waiting on the World to Change. More decription: http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=6845770&page=1
