Wall of Films! | Over 500 Social Change Documentaries on 1 Page Just imagine what could become possible if an entire city had seen just one of the documentaries above. Just imagine what would be possible if everyone in the country was aware of how unhealthy the mainstream media was for our future and started turning to independent sources in droves. Creating a better world really does start with an informed citizenry, and there's lots of subject matter to cover. From all the documentaries above, it's evident that our society needs a new story to belong to. The old story of empire and dominion over the earth has to be looked at in the full light of day - all of our ambient cultural stories and values that we take for granted and which remain invisible must become visible. But most of all, we need to see the promise of the alternatives - we need to be able to imagine new exciting ways that people could live, better than anything that the old paradigm could ever dream of providing. So take this library of films and use it.

Le top 100 des plus beaux films français (1/4) Le top 100 des meilleurs films français ever, suite et fin. Ce classement a été réalisé à partir de 18 classements individuels de critiques écrivant ou ayant écrit au service cinéma des Inrocks (on trouvera leurs noms à la fin). Il photographie donc le goût d’une bande (avec ses particularismes, ses goûts partagés…), déterminé par l’appartenance à une génération (un peu large, la majorité des votants étant nés entre le milieu des années 60 et le milieu des années 80) et une histoire (celle d’une cinéphilie dont la Nouvelle Vague constituerait peu ou prou le terreau). Certaines périodes sont surreprésentées (les années 60 et 70), d’autres injustement minorées (le cinéma muet presque ignoré). 1. Quand est-il devenu le plus beau film français de tous les temps ? 2. A sa sortie, présence de BB oblige, le film fut un événement médiatique, mais un succès public insuffisant. 3.

"Assistance Mortelle” sur Arte: le film qui dénonce la “dictature de l’aide” en Haïti Pourquoi rien ne change en Haïti, malgré les milliards injectés pour la reconstruction du pays? Cette question très simple, beaucoup de personnes se la posent, en France, dans le monde. En Haïti aussi. La réponse, plus complexe, est parfois difficile à donner à travers un article (nous avons tenté de le faire sur Youphil.com, ici et là.) Voilà pourquoi il faut aujourd’hui remercier Raoul Peck qui y répond à travers un documentaire de 100 minutes à ne pas manquer. Des bailleurs aux intérêts divergents, des Haïtiens oubliés “Le soir du tremblement, comme beaucoup d’Haïtiens, j’ai eu un réflexe: il me fallait revenir au pays, aider, se souvient le réalisateur lors d’une projection à la presse, fin mars dans les locaux d’Arte. Rapidement, cet ancien ministre de la culture en Haïti, par ailleurs président de la Femis, décide de réaliser un documentaire. Pourquoi la reconstruction fut impossible en Haïti? Qui sauvera Haïti des sauveurs? > Voir la bande-annonce du film "Assistance Mortelle":
A Killer In Your Fridge ~ Sweet Poison…A MUST READ | Rhonda Gessner In October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick She had stomach spasms and she was having a hard time getting around. Walking was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out of bed; she was in so much pain. By March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and was on 24 various prescription medications. The doctors could not determine what was wrong with her. She was in so much pain, and so sick she just knew she was dying. She put her house, bank accounts, life insurance, etc., in her oldest daughter’s name, and made sure that her younger children were to be taken care of. She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to Florida (basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd. On March 19, I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she said they didn’t find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS. I recalled an article a friend of mine e-mailed to me and I asked my sister if she drank diet soda? Yes! Dr. Dr.
Ranking the Greats 10: Lars Von Trier's 10 Best Films When you mention the name Lars Von Trier, you get a decidedly diverse set of reactions. Many mainstream film fans have no idea who he is. They’ve never seen his work, perhaps could name check a movie or two they’ve “heard” about, and are perhaps better versed in his various recent tabloid tales than anything he’s done on celluloid. Others may be a bit better informed, mentioning his no-frills filmmaking ideal Dogme ‘95 or his controversial Cannes outbursts. On the other hand, it will be the rarified cinephile who can walk through the man’s output over the last few decades, delineating his output in both specifics and subtextual generics. As he would do with his far more impactful Dogme ‘95 style, Von Trier played with the rules of the cinematic artform for this tale of a young American struggling to “bring happiness” to a post-WWII Germany. #7 - The Five Obstructions
What Happened On Easter Island — A New (Even Scarier) Scenario : Krulwich Wonders... We all know the story, or think we do. Let me tell it the old way, then the new way. See which worries you most. Robert Krulwich/NPR First version: Easter Island is a small 63-square-mile patch of land — more than a thousand miles from the next inhabited spot in the Pacific Ocean. In A.D. 1200 (or thereabouts), a small group of Polynesians — it might have been a single family — made their way there, settled in and began to farm. These settlers were farmers, practicing slash-and-burn agriculture, so they burned down woods, opened spaces, and began to multiply. As Jared Diamond tells it in his best-selling book, Collapse, Easter Island is the "clearest example of a society that destroyed itself by overexploiting its own resources." When Captain James Cook visited there in 1774, his crew counted roughly 700 islanders (from an earlier population of thousands), living marginal lives, their canoes reduced to patched fragments of driftwood. OK, that's the story we all know, the Collapse story.

This Word Is Earth | Paper Tape By Harmony Button Begin with a definition: we know where to go. We become thoughtfully troubled that despite being called “The Dictionary,” there is not only one, but in fact, many, many different dictionaries. Like a child discovers that the authority of one parent does not always completely coincide with the authority of the other, so we find that The Dictionary offers a deceiving sense of unity. We compare our parents. I introduce a source the students soon name “Ed” because the O is silent, like in Oedipus! No, says another, his name is Owen. I am secretly delighted. In my free time, I should drink less coffee, take more trail runs, sleep at least eight hours every night. Next level: I suggest that, like his Dino colleagues, a Thesaurus is, at most, an approximation of the truth. How much of our self-story is made up of memory-myth and reconstructed past? This is where I first realized: heart is just earth with the h in the front. And my world was never quite the same. That was me.

A Lonely Quest for Facts on Genetically Modified Crops KONA, Hawaii — From the moment the bill to ban on the island of Hawaii was introduced in May 2013, it garnered more vocal support than any the County Council here had ever considered, even the perennially popular bids to decriminalize marijuana. Public hearings were dominated by recitations of the ills often attributed to genetically modified organisms, or G.M.O.s: cancer in rats, a rise in childhood allergies, out-of-control superweeds, genetic contamination, overuse of , the disappearance of butterflies and bees.
