First, on the YouTube video, you'll see a link like "blahblah=blahblah. You highlight and copy everything after the "=".

Then come back here and in the response page, you'll see an "Youtube" icon. Click this and it comes up . Paste the link (remember, everything after the =)in between the borders. This should bring up the video link when you hit "post".

Thank you! I hate feeling so new lol I'm sure it has its perks. I really need to take more time to look around, but I'm more of the "jump in" type.

Paul Goodman Changed My Life

Author of the legendary Growing Up Absurd, poet, out-queer family man, pacifist, visionary, co-founfer of Gestalt Therapy, and moral compass for the burgeoning counterculture of the 1960's.

Never heard of this guy. A lot of his stuff is geared toward disenfranchised young males. Cant say the documentary made me like him either.

ABOUT THE FILM


Hollywood has made over 4000 films about Native people; over 100 years of movies defining how Indians are seen by the world.

Reel Injun takes an entertaining and insightful look at the Hollywood Indian, exploring the portrayal of North American Natives through the history of cinema.

Travelling through the heartland of America, Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond looks at how the myth of “the Injun” has influenced the world’s understanding – and misunderstanding – of Natives.

With candid interviews with directors, writers, actors and activists, including Clint Eastwood, Jim Jarmusch, Robbie Robertson, Sacheen Littlefeather, John Trudell and Russell Means, clips from hundreds of classic and recent films, including Stagecoach, Little Big Man, The Outlaw Josey Wales, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and Atanarjuat the Fast Runner, Reel Injun traces the evolution of cinema’s depiction of Native people from the silent film era to today.

I think I've probably listed this film before in this thread, but I'm just so fond of it.

"I Like Killing Flies". It's about the smallest restaurant you have ever seen and the cantankerous, philosophical, greasy guy who cranks out amazing cuisine, scattering gems all the while.

The Gulabi gang is the subject of the 2010 movie Pink Saris by Kim Longinotto and the 2012 documentary Gulabi Gang by Nishtha Jain.


The first is more film than documentary but the story is powerful and reminds me how strong women are.

It is about women who, at 20,000 strong, have banded together to fight against abuse, rape, and child brides.

Things are changing in India, I am confidant that these women warriors are fundamental, if not direct instruments, to that change.

I Errol Morris.

Love most of his work.

LOVE watching stuff like BBC's Blue Planet, and Human Planet. BluRay makes it spectacular!

Haven't seen The Invisible War, although it's come highly recommended--need to sort of gear up for that one.

Really liked Cave of Forgotten Dreams by Werner Herzog.

Default Pink Ribbons, Inc.

Pink Ribbons, Inc. is a very eye-opening documentary about the dark side of the pink ribbon campaign for breast cancer.



Has anyone else seen it?

Default Searching for Sugarman (Sixto Rodriguez)

My day began very early with going out shopping for groceries before the sun came up and by the time I had called for a cab to bring me home (with food in tow), I had no idea how that ride would change my plans today. My cab driver had an interesting pair of shades on and I asked him if they were late 60s Vaurnet shades and our conversation, as he drove me home, led to me finding out about a documentary that was only in town for today.

I went to see: Sugarman

It was such a great story about a lesser known man from Detroit - an indie artist, I guess one might say - who apparently was so talented that no one took notice of him. Yeah. Anyway, woven throughout the hour and a half film, I learned about how his recordings ended up in South Africa and for years, he had such a huge following - cult-like, almost.

It really opened my eyes to how the music industry is such a cut-throat business and that artists who are well-known stars by today's standards, are not even half as talented as Sixto Rodrigues (Sugarman).

The film had only three showings today and I happened to be able to walk into the late morning showing of this documentary. I have a feeling it will earn some awards this year at Sundance... it's that good.



Here's a trailer I found for the film on YouTube:



PS/ if you get the chance to see it in your town, I say go see it!
I haven't said much about what a person finds out in the film:
I don't want to spoil it for people.... But seriously, it's very good.

There are two documentaries that I found remarkable:

The first was presented on the PBS show Nova and was entitled "Dimming The Sun". It described the effect of air clarity on global warming and, surprisingly, explained that some of our efforts to reduce air pollution have been counterproductive.

The second memorable documentary was presented on the PBS show Frontline and was entitled "The Jesus Factor". This program described the rise in political power of the evangelical movement and the manner in which George Bush used this power to attain the presidency.

I haven't seen it, but I'm going to see if we can get it on the Roku via one of their services. It's interesting that you bring it up because I was talking with a group of people about where we were on 9/11. Both myself and a younger cousin (who was in kindergarten at the time) said that one of our strongest memories of that time was no planes. They had grounded planes worldwide and the atmosphere got so clear that it affected the average temperature that year. We both remember really blue skies and I remember going out to the observatory nearby with my telescope to take advantage of the incredibly clear skies that week.

Okay, in an effort to stay on topic.... I love Ken Burns but was disappointed in the Dust Bowl. I think he kinda phoned that one in. Jazz was much better! But the best one I've seen lately was the Machine that Made Us, which is about Johann Gutenberg. It was interesting to see what he went through. People were really freaked out by what he was doing and one of the biggest, scariest things about it was that parts of the ruling classes realized that more books, made cheaply would put more more information in the hands of the poorer classes. An educated populace was a scary thing!

Himalaya with Michael Palin. I watched this on PBS, but it is available in parts on Youtube:



weatherboi posted on FB today, about how this country is striving to be the first country to have organic farming practices. I love that their country values "Gross National Happiness over Gross Domestic Product".

The Day Carl Sandburg Died

Fascinating movie. Fascinating man. Sandburg’s radical free verse poetry, best known in Chicago Poems, changed 20th century poetry. The two-time Pulitzer Prize winner was also a biographer, a journalist, children’s storyteller, folk song collector, novelist, and autobiographer. He was a captivating performer, entertaining audiences on stage, radio and television enjoying the kind of fame, fortune and recognition that is rarely, if ever, afforded a poet.

Yet, what interested me most was his social activism (women, children, POC) and political activism.

And, they did a wonderful job highlighting the influence of his wife and children on all that he did.

Interesting stuff.

A new documentary that I think is very worthwhile is "MAKERS: Women Who Make America", which recently aired on PBS. I highly recommend it to anyone who was not around in the '70's and is not fully aware of the struggle for women's rights. The promo blurb:

MAKERS: Women Who Make America tells the remarkable story of the most sweeping social revolution in American history, as women have asserted their rights to a full and fair share of political power, economic opportunity, and personal autonomy. It’s a revolution that has unfolded in public and private, in courts and Congress, in the boardroom and the bedroom, changing not only what the world expects from women, but what women expect from themselves. MAKERS brings this story to life with priceless archival treasures and poignant, often funny interviews with those who led the fight, those who opposed it, and those first generations to benefit from its success. Trailblazing women like Hillary Rodham Clinton, Ellen DeGeneres and Oprah Winfrey share their memories, as do countless women who challenged the status quo in industries from coal-mining to medicine. Makers captures with music, humor, and the voices of the women who lived through these turbulent times the dizzying joy, aching frustration and ultimate triumph of a movement that turned America upside-down.

P.S. The show can be viewed online at http://video.pbs.org/program/makers-...-make-america/

I can't wait to see this!!!

Beauty in Truth <-- link

Alice Walker has long been an icon to me.

This year's WOW (Women of the World) Film Festival included the world exclusive premiere of 'Alice Walker: Beauty In Truth', a feature documentary film directed by Pratibha Parmar about the life and art of the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of 'The Color Purple'.

After the screening, Mariella Frostrup chaired a Q&A discussion with Alice Walker and Pratibha Parmar.

Just saw this one yesterday:



Very interested. I already knew "Faux News" was a crock but it really gets in depth and connects some of the dots you may have missed. Interesting.

I ordered it after you posted this. Was an excellent movie containing much information to ponder about the treatment of cancer, the cancer/medical/corporation industry, the marketing of fund raising etc. Interesting and disturbing.

Teddy Roosevelt.....an American Lion.

Another of those movies about a politician with a social conscience who saw, understood, fought for, and brought about changes in government, and redefined its purpose in the lives of the everyday person.

TR was quite a character who had no qualms taking on the captains of industry and loosening their stronghold on the American way of life. Fascinating man, fascinating philosophy, fascinating history.
