Video: Now the People Have Awoken: Exploring Venezuela's Revolution

Amazon Video on Demand — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0500

Except for beauty queens and oil, Venezuela has never been on the international stage. Now Venezuela sits at the centre of international controversy: to some it has been stolen by a populist dictator, while for others Venezuela represents the centre of continent-wide democratic revolution. There is much at stake. Venezuela sits atop one of the biggest oil reserves in the world, which are being used to fuel a new order. President Hugo Chavez, who survived a military coup in 2002, has supported a number of controversial social programs that have pushed Venezuela onto the United States government, and media, enemy radar. What makes Venezuela tick and what has it done? Who is behind the movement and what does it seek? Filmed through the 2006 presidential elections, this is a film about the people building a new Venezuela. Includes interviews with Eva Golinger (Venezuelan declassifying documents on US intervention in Venezuela); Paul Buchanan (ExCIA); Noam Chomsky (MIT US foreign policy ana

Video: 'Lake of Fire' - Trailer No. 1

AOL Moviefone — Thu, 01 May 2008 00:00:00 -0500

With Lake of Fire, American History X helmer and music-video director Tony Kaye climbs inside of the decades-old abortion debate for a 152-minute study of the pro-life and pro-choice positions. In the process, he uncovers not an objective black-and-white issue, but a myriad of circumstances and sub-issues of tremendous moral complexity and ambiguity. He then investigates the sub-philosophies and ideas that belie each side, with generous input and assistance from socialist Noam Chomsky, and via interviews with Christian theologians, and professors of bioethics, sociology, and philosophy. Kaye also gives substantial consideration to the violence directed by certain extremists at abortion doctors, nurses, and clinics. The director worked on the picture for well over 15 years, and it serves as a prime candidate for the definitive abortion documentary. However, be forewarned: Lake of Fire includes lengthy, graphic depictions of abortion procedures and their physical and emotional side-effec

Video: Noam Chomsky: Rebel Without a Pause

Amazon Video on Demand — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Called "the most important intellectual alive" by The New York Times, and ?a rebel without a pause? by rock-star Bono, Noam Chomsky is one of the greatest minds of the 20th Century and the world?s leading voice of dissent. In a post 9-11 world, Noam Chomsky speaks openly about the U.S. war on terrorism, media manipulation, and social activism to intimate seminar groups and crowded venues. Chomsky analyzes the roots of anti-American sentiment, defines terrorism in the new millennium, and examines the after-effects of 9-11 in honest and forthright terms, providing a critical voice that many audiences feel is missing in the world today. Featuring candid interviews with his wife and tour manager, Carol Chomsky, as well as activists, fans, and critics, REBEL WITHOUT A PAUSE is a timely, must-see film that offers an alternative voice and explores the truths and myths about the most important intellectual of our time.
