THE GLOBAL ECONOMICS SERIES "The simple, basic explanations of complex financial concepts as well as interviews with experts provide viewers with a solid foundation for understandnig globalization. <strong>Video</strong> techniques and effects are as outstanding as the still photography." Educational Media Reviews Online According to most experts, globalization is increasing with unstoppable momentum. But the resulting debate is heating up just as quickly - and anyone who participates needs a thorough grounding in the issues. This four-part series provides a foundation for studying the political economy of international trade, finance, development, and natural resource competition. Using concise case studies, straightforward explanations of complex financial concepts, and interviews with renowned experts - including Dr. Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University, Bank of Israel Governor Dr. Stanley Fischer, and former World Bank president James Wolfensohn - this series gives viewers the wide-ranging subject coverage necessary for sustained class dialogue and discussion. GLOBAL RESOURCES: Management and Competition GLOBAL CAPITAL MARKET: Risks and Rewards GLOBAL EXCHANGE: Free Trade and Protectionism ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: A Global Challenge #10880/0635 Four 33-39 minute programs 2007 $219.95 each or Series $819.95 BLOOD AND OIL: The Dangers and Consequences of America's Growing Dependence on Foreign Petroleum Against the chaotic backdrop of the spiraling death toll in Iraq, mounting outrage over rising gasoline and oil prices, and new questions about the Bush administration's justifications for going to war, this program details how U.S. energy and national security policy have become virtually inseparable. Based on Michael T. Klare's critically-acclaimed book of the same title, this documentary untangles the dangerous relationship between unstable global oil supplies, skyrocketing rates of global consumption, and America's increasing reliance on military force as an instrument of energy policy. #11886/0685 50 minutes 2008 $159.95 (Colleges & Universities $249.95) *** See also WALKING ON OIL: Alberta’s Oil Sands on Page 87 of this catalogue BLIND SPOT: Peak Oil and the Coming Global Crisis In this haunting portrait of America's oil-fueled excesses, director Adolfo Doring explores the inextricable link between the energy we use, the way we run our economy, and the multiplying threats that now confront the environmental health and stability of our planet. Taking as its starting point the inevitable energy depletion scenario known as "Peak Oil," the film surveys a fascinating range of the latest intellectual, political, and scientific thought to make the case that by whatever measure of greed, wishful thinking, neglect, or ignorance, we now find ourselves at a disturbing crossroads: we can continue to burn fossil fuels and witness the collapse of our ecology, or we can choose not to and witness the collapse of our economy. Refusing to whitewash this reality, Blind Spot issues a call to action, urging us to face up to the perilous situation we now find ourselves in so that we might begin to envision a realistic, if inconvenient, way out. Certain to inspire debate in classrooms across a range of disciplines, especially in economics, environmental studies, the natural sciences, and political science. DVD #13016/0685 42 minutes 2009 $189.95 (College & University $319.95) REFUGE: A Film about Darfur In this alternately enraging and heartbreaking documentary, CANADIAN student Jonathan Pedneault and filmmaker Alexandre Trudeau travel to Darfur to try to make sense of reports of genocide in the region. Making their way clandestinely with a group of rebels into the heart of the Sudanese war zone, they chronicle stories of unfathomable human despair and courage: NGOs struggling to get food to the starving, refugees fighting for water, waves of people battered by civil war and incomprehensible violence stumbling into camps on the edge of survival. Succeeds brilliantly in capturing the human face behind this geopolitical crisis. DVD #13018 52 minutes 2009 $189.95 (College & University $319.95) LIVE FROM BETHLEHEM The Bethlehem-based Ma'an News Agency (MNA) emerged out of the ashes of the second Intifada to become the only independent news network in the Palestinian Territories and an increasingly prominent and influential journalistic force in the wider Middle East. Live from Bethlehem tells MNA's remarkable story. It chronicles the agency's struggles and successes through the eyes of the station's reporters, producers, and photographers, in the process quietly revealing the humanity of ordinary Palestinians as they go about their daily business. The documentary trains its focus on people more than on abstract issues, yet it never loses sight of the myriad social and political forces and pressures that Ma'an journalists are forced to negotiate as they try to gather and report balanced information. What results is an admirably nuanced portrait of how news gets produced, and how Palestinians live, in one of the world's most troubled regions. #13021/0685 36 minutes 2009 $189.95 (Colleges & Universities $319.95) 72
PERSONALLY SPEAKING: A Long Conversation with Stuart Hall Stuart Hall is a foundational figure in the influential interdisciplinary field known as cultural studies. In this stimulating and eloquent four-hour interview, conducted by the literary journalist Maya Jaggi and directed by Mike Dibb, Hall reflects on his life and career, talking personally and in depth about the trajectory of his work and how it has intersected with broader political movements. In a conversation both intimate and sweeping in scope, Hall describes his migration from Jamaica to England, his immersion in left-wing politics in London, the influence of Raymond Williams and E.P. Thompson on the evolution of his thought, and the context within which the early classic texts of cultural studies were written. Hall also shares his pessimism about the economic recession and his optimism about Barack Obama's victory. Future analysis of Hall's work, and of cultural studies in general, will need to take account of this fascinating and indispensable first-person account of his life and ideas. *Broken into short sections to facilitate use in the classroom. DVD #13017/0685 258 minutes 2009 $189.95 (College & University $319.95) AMERICA BETRAYED "A smart, galvanizing documentary... the film argues persuasively, private interests repeatedly trump public interests." Cynthia Fuchs, PopMatters.com One of America's proudest achievements, its national infrastructure, is now its most dangerous embarrassment. Bridges, dams, levees and highways are crumbling, toppling, being washed away, and putting American citizens and cities at risk. How could the most powerful nation on the planet let this happen? Narrated by Academy Award winner Richard Dreyfuss and directed by Emmy Award-winning investigative broadcast journalist Leslie Cardé, this timely and riveting story of waste, fraud, and abuse at the highest levels of our government exposes how much-needed funding is misappropriated for questionable uses, how the Army Corps of Engineers (charged with ensuring that the infrastructure stays intact) is more concerned with self-serving transitions into corporate America, and how taxpayer dollars have been wasted building other nation's infrastructures and not their own. It is the story of how lobbyists and greedy politicians funnel money to pet projects; how those sent to investigate and police abuses are often bribed into silence, and how shoddy planning and construction frequently contribute to the erosion and destruction of America's cities. Featuring interviews with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists from the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and TIME Magazine, noted scientists from Berkeley and Harvard, U.S. Senators and Congressmen, and the whistleblowers who risked their lives and careers to speak out, this searing documentary is both a cautionary tale for those who trust their government, and a wake-up call to Washington and Americans everywhere. #12726/0645 94 minutes 2008 $249.95 ABE OSHEROFF: One Foot in the Grave, the Other Still Dancing Most people knew Abe Osheroff as an activist. For most of his 92 years - from the frontlines of the Spanish Civil War to the picket lines of the U.S. labor movement, from the struggles for civil rights in Mississippi to his work for human rights in Nicaragua - Osheroff threw himself into the fray with rare energy and enthusiasm. In this riveting and inspiring new film, Osheroff reflects on the meaning of his activism, exploring the ideas that animated his actions and sharing wisdom built up over a lifetime of commitment to the "radical humanism" that defined his politics and philosophy. DVD #13019 46 minutes 2009 $129.95 (College & University $249.95) MADE IN CHICAGO: The Making of Barack Obama It was in Chicago, Barack Obama's adopted hometown, that the 24-year-old future President of the United States began a personal and political odyssey that would take him all the way to the White House. In this program, many of the people who have known Obama best since his arrival in Chicago offer their insights. Obama's work as a community organizer, his achievements at Harvard Law School, the writing of Dreams from My Father, his brief stints as a law professor at The University of Chicago and as a civil rights lawyer, and his meteoric political career are all discussed. The program ends with Obama's victory in the 2008 primaries and his speech on the issue of race in the wake of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's controversial "God Damn America" sermon. Additional portions of Obama oratory are included throughout. #12499/0635 52 minutes 2008 $219.95 THE JEWISH PEOPLE: A Story of Survival Spanning millennia, this history of the Jewish people explores how a small group who started as desert nomads overcame countless obstacles to survive to the present day. From slavery to the loss of their homeland; from exile to anti-Semitism; from pogroms to near annihilation in the Holocaust, how did the Jews endure while so many other communities vanished? The answers are surprising. #12889/1725 60 minutes 2009 $129.95 *CC RIVERS AND LIFE: How Waterways Cradle and Confound Human Society Illuminating the ever-changing nature of the Earth's aquatic arteries, this six-part series guides viewers through cultures and countries shaped by magnificent rivers. A half-dozen of the world's most iconic bodies of water are explored: the Amazon, the Ganges, the Mississippi, the Nile, the Rhine, and the Yangtze. Each episode highlights the age-old benefits and bounty of a particular watercourse; the challenges it presents to human life; and the human activities that have affected its path, strength, and biodiversity. Detailed descriptions of each program are available.
