[CIMC-work] Re: [Imc-chicago-video] We need films

[Garth Liebhaber]

hello friends - 

here's my 2 cents - i would vote for something that is 
information heavy and
ideally inspires viewers to debate/explore further/take 
action.  i would
imagine that the people showing up at healing earth 
might already be lefty
leaning and need more concrete info/eduacation on the 
topics they feel
vaguely one way or another about..

you originally proposed the following films:

> > * Aftermath by GNN (and a selection of newsvides) 
> > * Any film by John Pilger (I've seen three in the past 
two 
> > years) 
> > * Films from justicevision.com 
> > * Some films from the BBC Correspondent series 
> > * Counting On Democracy by Danny Schechter 
> > * Chicago Independent Television (two episodes = 
one 
> > movie) 
> > * Where We Stood 
> > * Patriot Acts 
> > * Unprecedented (LA Indymedia connection) 
> > * Uncovered 
> > * Most any "old skool" Michael Moore films [who won 
the 
> > Palme d'Or] 
> > * Most anything from the Media Education Foundation 
> > * Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the 
Media 
> > * The Revolution Will NOt Be Televised 

i would cut from the list of options anything that is 
prodominantly about
protest activity.  although that is necessary to have 'out 
there,' i don't
know that it is the most effective use of this awareness-
raising
opportunity.  i imagine some people would disagree with 
me, though -
anyone??
