The Revolution Will Not Be Televised |

controversial documentaries EVER MADE. Its not
surprising that dark forces have prevailed in
intimidating potential screeners into effectively
banning this doc.

 |
Origin of Aids |
| Since first being broadcast in 2003 the Origins Of
Aids has yet to be aired on UK television. Despite
winning many awards and being hotly debated the
reason is more than likely connected to the barrage
of legal assaults made on Channel 4 by Dr Koprowski,
who it is theorized caused the Aids epidemic during
1950s trials of an experimental polio vaccine in
Africa. |

Rent a Rasta |
| Every year over 80,000 middle-aged women flock to
Jamaica in search of the -big bamboo- a practice
called rent a rasta. I`m not naïve, I`ve been around
the block. I come for sex, of course the sun, but
mostly the sex. |

| Our Latest Film: Micro Men |
| MicroMen is a fabulous documentary covering the
computer wars of the eairly eighties in the UK. We

Microsoft, but in this quintessential doc we get a

competitive and emerging market. We see the rise and
fall, the highs and lows of the men who battled it
out to bring us the computer revolution which has
changed the world and us. This is a fab film.... |

| Our Latest Film: Tiger By The Tail |
| Placing the Israeli / Palestine conflict in a
context
as seen from the UN (and in general the worlds)
perspective, in contrast to the US government and
the
Israeli governments own conflicted perspective. This
doc highlights questionable arguments & propaganda
used by the US and Israeli .gov who justify the
actions of stealing Palestine land and shows clearly
the extent of land and inevitably destructed lives
which has been the result of this 'ho lo
caust'
1. Great destruction resulting in the extensive
loss of life... |

 |
| Our Latest Film: It Felt Like a Kiss |
| We are big fans of Adam Curtis, in his latest
montage
of images, sound, music and history, we are
delighted
with a beautiful experiment in art documentary,
almost a new form of delivery. However, despite the
wonders of the films art Curtis down plays
significant historical events to a degree leaving
ambiguous messages of these events. For a detailed
rebuttal of these see the comments. Nevertheless a
wonderful new and fresh form of art documentary. |
 |
| Our Latest Film: The Take Over Of South Americia |
| If you want to understand how North America has
attained its dominant role in the world, a look at
some recent history of how the CIA and the allied
forces have been used by politicians to corrupt and
pillage their southern neighbors along with their
resources, dignity and wealth. |

Barack Obama 'Road to the White House'
On November 5th, 2008, Barack Obama became the first African American President of the United States, but the journey began months before he announced his intent to run for the nation's highest political office.
The story started when a little known Senator from the State of Illinois came to speak at the California African American Museum, which was hosting an Urban Issues Forum back on Oct. 27, 2006. The gifted orator spoke with such elegance and grace that there was a sense that Sen. Barack Obama was destined for greater things.
The film Barack Obama ´Road to the White House¡ chronicles the two-and-a-half-year period between that fateful day back in October 2006 to that historic day on January 20th 2009, when the entire world witnessed an unprecedented feat, the inauguration of our country's 44th president, the first of African descent and one of only three sitting U.S. presidents to be awarded a a Nobel Peace Prize. The documentary film follows Obama's journey from his time in California to his swearing-in ceremony on the steps of the U.S. Capitol building in Washington D.C.
Independent filmmaker Keith O'Derek spent three and a half days driving from Los Angeles, California to Washington D.C. to attend the ceremony. During his journey, he slept in his SUV and in bus stations, filming and interviewing average people from all walks of life on what they thought about the incoming President.
In addition to some of the people who knew him personally, the documentary features in-depth interviews with high-profile politicians, celebrities and businessmen from around the Country who weigh in about the new President, as well as issues about race and the economy among other things. Never before has the nation and the world been so intrigued by such an influential leader. Whether one agrees or disagrees with his politics, he has indeed fostered change just by his mere presence in the White House.
´Road to the White House¡ is the first movie of kind to be told by the candor and honesty of the American people and what they think about their elected leader. In addition, Academy Award-winning actor and humanitarian Louis Gossett Jr. lends his prolific voice and support to the film by providing voice-over to the theatrical trailer that is coming soon. He is also among the featured high-powered celebrities to offer insight as to how Obama is performing as the Head of State. He also reflects upon the America?s history of racial injustice and its progress.
The consensus of President Barack Obama is that he brings hope to so many who have so little. ´Road to the White House¡ is not told with any political slant or ideology, but with the straightforwardness of so many who have grown frustrated with the partisan politics in Washington D.C. over the course of the last eight years. It's not about the Republican or the Democratic point of view, it's about the American point of view, and it was done out of a labor of love, sweat and tears.

I have a great idea for a short documentary if someone wants to take it on. Cardinal Gibbons high school in Baltimore is to be closed in June. It sits on the grounds of St. Mary's Industrial School where Babe Ruth grew up (for 12 years), and where he learned to play baseball from his beloved Brother Matthias. We are afraid this piece of valuable baseball history will be lost because the Archdiocese will be selling the property. If interested e-mail harboat@aol.com. Two buildings remain and the fields where Babe played. NYTimes article from last Sunday 4/19/10 http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/18/sports/baseball/18rut h.html?hp

This free film training is specifically for unemployed people aged 16 to 25 years old who want to have their say about their situation and put the case for more jobs and less spin. For example young people are told they are 'guaranteed' a job or training if they are unemployed for over 6 months but one young WORLDbytes volunteer is already producing a report which reveals the jobs and training on offer are a far cry from young people's aspirations. Want to help find out more? Do you have a story to tell? Do you think we should demand more jobs? If so join WORLDbytes’ three-day Train & Shoot on Saturday 8th, Sunday 9th and Monday 10th May. Successful applicants will learn to film and shoot for a series of hard hitting reports about youth unemployment and the benefit system. The training involves long days learning camera, lighting, sound, production and hands on shooting. Priority places for this free training will be given to volunteers who are already active, so don't wait around. Get stuck in and we look forward to seeing you at a volunteer introductory evening. Places are limited so book now to avoid disappointment by applying online at http://www.worldbytes.org/training-booking.html.

This doesn't seem a legitimate company. Once asked for a credit card, it doesn't allow the agreed access. There is no sign up option at all. BEWARE?????
RESPONSE: Users are asked to sign up - first - then they choose an payment amount and once have paid by Paypal then they are automatically returned to the site, at this point they need do nothing more but watch the content unrestricted. There is an option to sign in again if we cannot work out who you are via the cookie or IP. But other than that the process is made as simple as possible.

Humanity Explored - An event that anticipates to spark a charge, that drives searching, discovering,
seeing and embracing, the individual as well as the collective self in the cinematic mirror
This week we will like to share 'Shame' a film by Sharjil Baloch
Click to watch free online at “Humanity Explored” online film festival:
http://www.cultureunplugged.com/play/800/Shame
Synopsis: "Shame" is part of the honor killing awareness-raising campaign in rural Sindh and southern Punjab. The directors take to the road, documenting shocking interviews that uncover a deep-rooted gender bias in rural Pakistan as well as the first ever footage of a karion jo qabristan, an unmarked graveyard where victims of honor killing are buried without any ritual. An important and timely film.
Wishing you peace & light,

On November 11, 2009, I ordered and payed for the documentary by Massimo Mazzucco titled "The New American Century" and have yet to receive the item. I've written to them on several occasions to which they respond with what seems to be an automated response i.e., "administration is processing your order." Has anyone else experienced this delay in delivery. Is this a credible company?
RESPONSE: This is total BS, I do not sell any DVDs or deliver any content via the post, this is a strictly online streaming service only.

WIN FUNDING FOR YOUR FEATURE FILM
Join a group of international filmmakers who have risen through the ranks in rounds of competition to get the boost they needed to the next rung in their career. Pierre-Olivier Thevenin was spotted in our Feature Film Competition and hired to direct his first feature film, Humains (co-produced by Filmaka). Luis Bernal Salazar submitted a short which became the Webby-Award-winning original series The Ten Commandments of La Vida Loca.
NEXT TO LAST ROUND FOR 2008-2009 FEATURE FILM COMPETITION
In addition to other opportunities on our site, one director each year is chosen as our FEATURE FILM COMPETITION Grand Prize Winner and offered the chance for Filmaka founder Deepak Nayar to produce their feature script with him or her at the helm. How do you get there? Process of elimination.
Every month, from over 100 submissions, 10 Peer to Peer Winners and 5 to 10 Filmaka Selections are chosen as Entry Level Winners. Each gets $500 and the opportunity to make another film - a Jury Level submission - for which they will receive $1000 funding. The Jury Level films are judged by our FILMAKA JURY of world-class film professionals. Three Jury Level Winners are chosen from each theme, and at the end of the year, all Jury Winners compete in the final showdown.
Are you ready for the beginning of the end? Here it is...
RACE AGAINST THE CLOCK
http://www.filmaka.com/competition.php
As we rapidly come to a close, not only you, but the characters in your film are going to be in a Race Against the Clock. You decide why and who is in such a hurry, and whether the outcome is funny or tragic. Whatever your story - DON'T BE LATE!
Your drop-dead due date is SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, AT 24:00 HOURS. Be sure to read and follow the DELIVERY RULES and TERMS AND CONDITIONS before you submit.
Now go burn some midnight oil. Or another, more renewable resource.

This Web site, full of free docs, is great. I run the DOCStore, the online DVD store of The Documentary Channel. Check it out and support the large number of independent documentary filmmakers we work with! Thanks, Greg.

"The Antarctica Challenge - A Global Warning!" is a new Documentary and the only film to capture the outcome from the International Polar Year (2007-2009). Al Gore’s Academy Award-winning documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" has done a lot to raise the international awareness of the environmental issue of global warming. But where do things stand today? The Antarctica Challenge is a one-hour documentary that goes to the source of the climate change crisis: Antarctica. Here we explore first-hand the environmental challenges facing that frozen continent and, by extension, the world.
