art IS the reEvolution
Art is both a reflection of society as well as a response to it. In the creation of art we inevitably change and influence the world around us. It transcends place and time even becoming an agent of progress and often is the message in the bottle that tells us of long lost eras. So do not dismiss art as frivolous or unnecessary and instead embrace what we leave as our true legacy. Art is the revolution and we are all soldiers of its good fortunes.
this list is subject to change due to will or whim or new information and exposure to creative sparks that must be shared. feel free to contact me if you need to share a piece of alt art and would like to see it here. please share your opinions and discussions of listed media/art in the comment section. pop culture geeks, bibliophiles, cinephiles unite and discuss.
Docs That Will Blow Your Mind
weathering change (its only 14 min. you can spare 14min while you check out my site on your PDA in the bathroom on your lunch break. yeah, i know)
Freely Speaking: Susan George- The root cause of poverty and neo-colonialism. In a nut shell, the plainly spoken reason of how the majority of the world’s population (including U.S.) got screwed and continue getting screwed.
The C.C.C.-Part of FDR’s New Deal that profoundly helped a wounded and desperate United States get back on its feet, brush itself off, and blaze forward. It took egregious environmental destruction and soul crushing poverty and joblessness as a call to rise above and use crisis as an opportunity for an entire nation to be better together. The very things we take for granted now like our parks, trails, and fertile fields came from the CCC. We can be great again but only if we come together in unity and realize we are all connected and we are only as strong as our weakest link.
Your Mommy Kills Animals-An in depth look at the animal rights movement as terrorism and enemy number one. Legal non violent protest and information dissemination of secret torture on conscious sentient beings by a company is now considered terrorism because it caused financial loss. You read that. Causing a shady company to lose cash by uncovering the shady = terrorism
