The New Libya by journeyman pictures

After years of isolation from the international community it looks as though Libya is on the road to reform.
Colonel Gadhafi is the longest serving Arab leader in power. After seeing the deposal of his old ally Saddam Hussein, it appears that Gadhafi is willing to make changes which might protect his regime. To end sanctions placed on Libya since the infamous Lockerbie bombing, Gadhafi is to pay a compensation package. "It's not compensation. It's a price," claims Gadhafi. The 'price' for acceptance in the world community. It now seems that part of this 'price' is open disarmament. True to form, the timing of Gadhafi's announcement to disarm was impeccable -- it came just two days before the 15th anniversary of the Lockerbie bombing. He has also dropped Libya's compensation claims for America's 1986 bombing. But Libya is currently facing it's own economic failure and reform is necessary. Gadhafi's unique blend of socialist/Islamic thought is not working in the nation's best interest. "Our public sector has proven to be sluggish, sometimes even corrupt," states P.M. Shukri Ghanem. He hopes to privatise large sections of the economy in order to speed economic growth. But the key to Libya's success in securing positive international acceptance lies in it's vast, unexplored oil fields. "American companies will stampede in" states Tarek Hassan Beck. But some Libyans are cynical about the reforms. If external pressure is removed from Libya then the regime will be strengthened. And for some this does not bode well for the people. "Gadhafi will feel that he's secure with the West and he's going to be free to be even more oppressive with his own people."

the revolution will not be televised by kim bartley

2002 documentary about the April 2002 Venezuelan coup attempt which briefly deposed Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. A television crew from Ireland's national broadcaster, RTÉ happened to be recording a documentary about Chávez during the events of April 11, 2002. Shifting focus, they followed the events as they occurred. During their filming, the crew recorded images of the events that they say contradict explanations given by Chávez's opposition, the private media, the US State Department, and then White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer. The documentary says that the coup was the result of a conspiracy between various old guard and anti-Chávez factions within Venezuela and the United States.

The Weather Underground explores the unbelievable story of the Weathermen, the notorious group of 70 s radicals who, outraged by the Vietnam War and racism in America, went underground to wage a low-level war against the U.S. government, bombing targets across the country that they felt symbolized the real violence.
From pitched battles with police on Chicago's city streets, to bombing the U.S. Capitol building, to breaking acid-guru Timothy Leary out of prison, this carefully organized clandestine network attempted to incite a national revolution, while successfully evading one of the largest FBI manhunts in history.

malcom x: the prince of islam by the truth commision
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEI4hbI7YB4
MALCOLM X- PRINCE OF ISLAM is the EXPLOSIVE and GRIPPING documentary that shows never before seen footage of al-Hajj Malik Shabazz, a truly Islamic hero.
Islam stands for change. It seeks to change the individual and the society. This change covers every aspect of human life from personal morality to business, economics and politics. It is only natural that Islam should be fought by those who want to keep the status quo. This is the way it has always been throughout history: from Adam to Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa. Isa, and Muhammad (peace be on them). It will happen to anyone who wants to stand up and proclaim the true message of Islam to the world.

the angry brigade by gordon carr

Between 1970 and 1972 the Angry Brigade used guns and bombs in a series of symbolic attacks against property. A series of communiqués accompanied the actions, explaining the choice of targets and the Angry Brigade philosophy: autonomous organization and attacks on property alongside other forms of militant working class action. Targets included the embassies of repressive regimes, police stations and army barracks, boutiques and factories, government departments and the homes of Cabinet ministers, theAttorney General and the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. These attacks on the homes of senior political figures increased the pressure for results and brought an avalanche of police raids. From the start the police were faced with the difficulty of getting to grips with a section of society they found totally alien. And were they facing an organization—or an idea?
