Peak Oil and More

1. Peak Oil Imposed by Nature - 30 mins
Takes a look at the causes and consequences of Peak Oil, with a focus on the UK. Presented by Colin Campbell, founder of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas. Punchy, professional and compelling.

2. The Power of Community - 59 mins
When Cuba's oil imports reduced by 50% and their economy crashed over a two week period in 1989 it put Cuba into a state of shock. There were frequent blackouts in its oil-fed electric power grid, up to 16 hours per day. The average daily caloric intake in Cuba dropped by a third... So Cubans started to grow local organic produce out of necessity, developed bio-pesticides and bio-fertilizers as petrochemical substitutes, and incorporated more fruits and vegetables into their diets. Since they couldn't fuel their aging cars, they walked, biked, rode buses, and carpooled. This film offers inspiration and hope, it is a solutions based film for people who see what's coming, but are not sure how to respond. My advice: think about where your food is going to come from in the coming years.

3. Denial Stops Here - 120 mins
This is probably the most comprehensive presentation of information, which ties together many different elements in the global picture, of where we are and what we might expect. Michael Ruppert has been making geo-political predictions for a couple of decades and is on the mark way more often than not. Topics covered: 911 and its coverup, Peak Oil, Global Warming, The War in Iraq, Economic Turmoil and the (US) housing bubble, Africa, South America, China (wowee zowee!), Permaculture, sustainability and community reliance. I recommend watching it with friends!

4. Dr Peter Lloyd (NZ) - 90 mins
It is refreshing to have a NZ voice, telling us their considered view on matters of importance. In this case Dr. Peter Lloyd, a registered aneathetist has done some considerable research and come to the conclusion that we are in for big changes in the very near future. He is filmed giving a lecture, on climate change, resource depletion, the extinction of most species on the planet, desertification, and more. No apologies here.

Big picture understanding

1. We - the unauthorised - 64 mins
An anonomous masterpiece. Taking audio and video footage of Arundhati Roy's Come September speech. This film combines music and deeply moving images to support her words. It is constructed in such a way as to give lots of breathing space to feel her message in its fullness. For links and praise of this film:

• A very nice site with lots of links and info
• resist.com.au

2. Noam Chomsky - Imperial Grand Strategies - 51 mins
A stand up talk at a University in the USA. If you havent read "Hegemony or Survival" by Chomsky, then here's your chance to catch up on the general themes of that revelation.

3. Harold Pinter - Art, Truth and Politics - 46 mins
No holds barred criticism of war and the foreign policy of leading governments. This was Pinter's acceptance speech for his Nobel Peace prize. A clear background to some of the events leading to the present world situation. Highly recommended.

4. Human Conflict - 39 mins
Invaluable knowledge from anthropologists and conflict resolution specialists that points the way to a more peaceful planet. Informative interviews, music, and images collide in a brand new genre of filmmaking.

5. New World Order - Alex Jones - 60 mins
I'll let this speak for itself. A few shocking revelations, that are not conspirancy, but well documented facts from major news sources - in case you still consider the corporate controlled media is giving you a fair and balanced view of events.

6. Who is the WTO - Noam Chomsky - 8 mins
A clear description of this very secret organisation - have you ever seen a list of the names of the people who make the decisions. Have you or anyone you know, ever voted to decide who should run such a powerful body? Well it's time to think.

7. Histories Hidden Engine - 90 mins (in 6 parts)
A curious research documentary, making links between patterns in nature, and social and economic trends. At first it talks about social moods, trends in movies and the stock market. The subsequent focus on stock market trends seems a little overkill, but the link to nature and nature's patterns makes social moods seem more predictable.

8. Elisabet Sautharis - approx 60 mins
A lengthy presentation from a evolutionary biologist, who makes it possible to grasp some difficult but liberating concepts.

9. Iraq Iran - USD or Euro - 45 mins
A deeper look at the motives behind the conflict behind the War against Iraq. Simon Reeve from The Dossier, a UK documentary maker, travelled to the US to interview key figures and journalists. A worthy watch if you need to better understand the issues which are not often addressed.

Window on Iraq

1. Beyond Iraq and a Hard place - 49 mins British comedy, with its expected dose of healthy satire.

2. Soldier, where do you go - 8 mins
A music video, that puts things in perspective. Some clever juxtapositions - such as the gas guzzling SUV with the "Support Our Troops" stickers on it.

3. Fallujah - 27 mins
Images from Vietnam backed with 60's music, recalling the use of Napalm. And now here it is in Iraq. Yes, it comes under the name "White phosphorous." Includes footage you wont find on CNN.

4. Iraq commentary - 8 mins
Dahr Jamall has spent a total of 8 months in Iraq as only one of a few independent US journalists in the country. Here he speaks to an audience in the US, and tells the side of the story you wont hear in mainstream news.

5. Massacre of civilians in Iraq - 1 min
This appears to be a military recording I can only assume was smuggled out.

6. Operation Truth - 9 mins
A US Army reserve speaks on TV about his experience and what he saw.

We, the people

1. Economic Democracy - 30 mins Describes a new socio economic theory called the Progressive Utulisation Theory or PROUT. PROUT is an alternative to the outmoded capitalist and communist socio-economic paradigms. Neither of these approaches have adequately met the physical, mental and spiritual needs of humanity. PROUT seeks a harmonious balance between economic growth, social development, environmental sustainability, and between individual and collective interests. It combines the wisdom of spirituality with a universal outlook and the struggle for self-reliance.

2. Maleny Cooperatives - 27 mins
A small town in Queensland, Australia has built a reputation for it large number of cooperatives - from food stores to a bank, from nightclubs to a workers cooperative dedicated to creating new businesses. This town is a shining example of a growing self-reliance.

3. Alternative Economics - 39 mins
Want to see where in the world complimentary currencies have been established and are functioning sucessfully? This film made me punch the air with affirmation that we, the people, do not have to surrender to the madness of the banking system we have grown to assume is "just the way it is."

4. Hong Kong - 10 mins
A short but uplifting story about a cooperative business which recycles basic goods through a number of community owned shops, and thereby making them available to people who might not otherwise be able to afford them.

Venezuela

Since watching "The Revolution will not be Televised" I have had an interest in this country, which seems from accounts by international observers, to be the best example of a democracy anywhere in the world today!

1. The Revolution will not be Televised - 75 mins
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez was elected to the presidency in 1998. His platform called for a wholesale rejection of globalization and what he called the "savage project of neo-liberalism" - which had been embraced by President Carlos Andres Perez - to be replaced with a radical nationalism that appealed to the country's impoverished majority. So it shouldn't have come as much of a surprise that a coup was engineered by supporters of past president Carlos Andres Perez. The good fortune of the Irish filmmakers who were in the country making a documentary on Chavez meant that the entire process, as recorded in interviews and footage from both sides (something the country's media wasnt adept at) gave a clear picture of how the coup was orchestrated.

2. The World Social Forum - 24 mins
Four short clips filmed at the recent World Social Forum in Caracas, describe both sides of the story, and sum up in an intelligent and insightful manner.

• For Chavez
• Against Chavez
• Into the Barrio (ghetto)
• Summing up

US Foreign Policy

Let me make it very clear, in case there is any confusion. I am not anti-American, and I do not dislike Americans - in fact I am married to one, and I have many good American friends - but I dislike American foreign policy, and how it is played out.

1. School of Americas protest - 4.5 mins
This clip describes a protest which took place at this infamous "school".

2. Excuse me! - 2 mins
Tim Ryan stands up to politicians in the Senate and tells why students are finding it hard to get behind the present administration.

Terrorism, coalition style

1. The Doctor, DU and Dying Children - 53 mins This was screened at a Sunday late night slot last year, and a few people saw it. This copy has a couple of TV ads still in it (sorry), but the message is clear - there is a nuclear war raging in Iraq (Yes, still at the time of this posting - the largest air attack yet took place just a few days ago). This film documents some of the effects of the hundreds of tonnes of depleted uranium on the civilian population. Where is the outrage! If you research depleted uranium with any degree of thoroughness you will find conflicting stories about its effects and impact. The information presented in this documentary will clarify some of it for you.

2. Pilger - Truth and Lies - 51 mins
"Just as we and our coalition partners are doing in Afghanistan, we will bring the Iraqi people food, and medicines and supplies and freedom" Such a heartfelt statement, spoken with emotion and 'sincerity' - oh dear, how is it possible that our leaders can be so blatant in their lies, and we so gullible as to allow these words to give us permission to turn our backs on the horrors which would follow such fine words.

Propaganda Machine

1. The Power of Nightmares - 180 mins!
This BBC documentary argues a convergence in aims between the neoconservative movement and the radical Islamists. The three-part programme was first screened in the UK in 2004. It has also been seen in film festivals.

Documentary programmes based on ideas - in this case American philosopher Leo Strauss and Egyptian intellectual Sayyid Qutb - are like rare jewels. Filmmaker Adam Curtis has been branded a conspiracist but he defends his position in this Wikipedia entry. Edward Skidelsky has this critique of Strauss thinking in the latest issue of Prospect.

Political Comedy

1. Who should America invade next - 1.5 mins
An Australian goes into the streets and asks this question of the people. Armed with a world map and a sense of humour the results are, well amusing anyway.

2. Store Wars - 6 mins
Excellent animation, using vegetables as the cast, and organics as the struggle, Star Wars fans will recognise the lines and the characters.

3. Lewis Black on travel - 3 mins
A very funny piss-take on the state of the nation and its lack of travelers - from the President to the people. Lot's of foul language. Very insightful. Enjoy.

4. Bill Maher - Flammable Flags - 1 min
Ever been at a demonstration and had trouble getting your flag to catch fire . . .

5. The Daily Show - One folder, 169 clips (about 9 hous worth!)
Fake news that delivers the truth. Host of The Daily Show is Jon Stewart, one of the most popular comedians of the day - he recently hosted the Oscars. He doesnt pull punches and tells it like it is.

Open your eyes

1. Despotis 1946 - 10 mins
Encylopedia Britannica films. I wonder if they still stand by this definition, because its an indictment of some well known international governments, who could be quite offended by the clarity and descriptions that point out the differences between democracy and fascism.

2. Earth 06 2004 - 50 mins
A month of world events condensed into a pulse pounding 50 minute global tour. Guaranteed to be quite unlike anything that you have seen before. Ever. On a personal note, this film was a pivotal point in my exploration - it caused me to ask more and specific questions, that resulted in a better understanding of the world we live in.

3. Fourth World War, Alex Jones - 17 mins
Alex Jones is a man on a mission. He is determined to bring forth information that is not being talked about in mainstream circles. This is a sit down monologue, but don't dismiss it based on that description, it is full of thought provoking facts, which can be verified with a little research.

4. Is Bush wired - 35 secs
You'll want to watch this one a few times :-)

5. Orwell rolls in his grave - 50 mins
"We falsely think of our country as a democracy when it has evolved into a mediocracy." The film is very poor quality, but the content is invaluable, and presented around the Orwell novel 1984. Can lies become truth? Lot's of hard truths in this little gem.

6. The War Party (BBC) - 49 mins
This is a story about people who want the world run their way. The candid statements that Steve Bradshaw's gentle questioning draws from a number of Neo Conservatives, will leave you gobsmacked - and maybe a little scared.

7. UNN Undercurrents News Network - 64 mins
Media activists are serving an important role in bringing us news from all corners of the globe, using current and historic footage on all manner of subjects, this collage of short stories will make you stop and think. Their copyright statement is a shining example expressing the importance of the free flow of information:

8. Why we fight (BBC) - 99 mins
When President Eisenhower retired (1960) he gave a farewell address that asked the US citizens to look at the war machine which had been created to that point. "The conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry" was new at that time, and Eisenhower warned his citizens of its grave implications. Thus the story starts and leads on from there, to dig deeply into the realreasons why war is still raging across the planet.

New Zealand

1. New Zealand Defence - 110 mins
A full spectrum, mind opening exploration of New Zealand's place in a rapidly changing and interconnected world.

17 defence commentators from different backgrounds provide opposing views on our national security. This detailed debate on defence includes New Zealand's threats, our economic trading relations, the United Nations, and the media. TVNZ recently screened this film.

Nuclear & Depleted Uranium

1. Nuclear Explosions
7 short clips, in case you wonder what a Nuclear explosion loooks like and when this madness began.

2. Nuclear Coverups - 18 mins
Chris Busby describes some of the work he has been doing to bring Nuclear dangers to the attention of the public and describing various cover ups which have occurred in recent years.

3. Nuclear Denial in the UN - 50 mins
Begins with footage of very young and radiated Chernobyl children, telling it like it is. Then the film moves quickly into descriptions from professionals who have had direct experience of working in the United Nations. The reality is that the World Health Organisation and the UN is hamstrung by the powerful self interests of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency). As pointed out the cost of buying scientists to tell the story the IAEA want to promote, is cheap.

4. Sellafield - 25 mins
A Welsh TV programme (subtitled) covering the children's illnesses, local statistics and the studies done on the effects of living close to a Nuclear power plant. It's good to see what work some persistent souls are doing to bring this information to the fore.

5. The Doctor, DU and Dying Children - 53 mins
This was screened at a Sunday late night slot last year, and a few people saw it. This version has a couple of TV ads still in it (sorry), but the message is clear - there is a nuclear war raging in Iraq (Yes, still at the time of this posting - the largest air attack yet took place just a few days ago). This film documents some of the effects of the hundreds of tonnes of depleted uranium on the civilian population. Where is the outrage! If you research depleted uranium with any degree of thoroughness you will find conflicting stories about its effects and impact. The information presented in this documentary will clarify some of it for you. (This documentary is not numbered in this listing, as it is only cross referenced here. It is contained in the directory Terrorism coalition style)

Katrina

1. Katrina - 6 mins
A recent visit by a filmmaker, shows us a glimpse of what life in New Orleans is like today.

2. Scott's Katrina Summary - 6 mins
TV is being monitored 24/7 by dedicated people looking for glimpses of the real world that slip through the matrix version of events - told to us so persistently by the corporate controlled media. I don't know if this began with 9/11 but it is certainly prevelant now, and many of these glimpses end up on great sites like Crooks and Liars, One Good Move, Truthout, and others.

Scott, a NZ filmmaker, has gathered many hours of such footage that was being furiously posted on the net as the events following Hurricane Katrina unfolded. He put this together into a six minute collage with a music score to connect the pieces, that together give an insight into the state of the US nation.

Docs. Katrina Today - 2 documents
On the ground reporting from Starhawk, is contained in these two revealing journal entries from mid February, 2006.

Food

1. GMO's with Fritjof & Vandana Shiva - 6 mins
Two great speakers make clear their point of view, that has certain logic, and is worthy of pondering. Is this where we want to go?

Filmmakers against war

1. Parliament-square.org.uk - 17 mins
One man's fight for justice and his commitment to the wish to see common sense prevail. Despite the desparate struggle he has endured, this film is inspiring and uplifting.

2. People against war - 6 mins
The voice of dissent against war. Some well placed imagery clearly counters the fine words of global leaders. Succinct words from some of the world's leading thinkers and speakers. Describes the continued descent into Fascism . . . unless we act.

Environment

1. Environment - Bill Maher - 4 mins
Bill is an American comedian with a message. In this one he is serious.

2. Global Dimming - BBC - 50 mins
If you are waiting for the "significant impacts" of Global Warming, before making changes in the way you live, check this out. It seems we are not feeling the full impact of Global Warming, but we will when the impacts that are presently hidden, literally by the dirty petroleum filled air begins to clear... ignore at your peril.

3. The Daily Show on Alaska - 2 mins
The insanity that goes on at the top, is clear in this clip from comedian John Stewart.

4. Nourishing Earth 1 & 2 - 110 mins
Here are a number of people from different countries, who are dedicated to food production solutions that we might appreciate when the oil runs out.

5. Drop into the Ocean - 10 mins
From Greenpeace comes a visually stunning promotion of the concept of Sea Reserves, where we can protect the ocean from exploitation and save it for future generations.

Democracy at home

1. FEMA detainment camps - 7 mins
Open your mind. This is hard to believe. A home video clip of a large railways yard, that is being rennovated as a people storage facility (for bird flu quarantine??). The female voice over describing what the shakey camera is showing us, is calm and clear, stating what they observe. I'd be interested to hear what you make of it.

2. Election Falsification - 33 mins
How good is the vote counting system? How sure can the people (in this case in the people of the USA) be that the votes are being counted correctly? The basis of a democratic society is in the assumption of one man one vote. If that's not happening, where to from here...?

3. Alex Jones in London - 58 mins
A radio chat host from the United States of America, checks out the state of play in the United Kingdom. He finds that the societys are far from united, in their views of the direction we should be heading.

4. Mouseland - 6 mins
Keith O'Sutherland's Grandfather was Tommy Douglas, an influential politician in Canada. In 1962 he made a speech called Mouseland in which he described some absurbities of the political situation of the day - which is even more pertinent today. Very amusing and on the nail...


5. Voices of Dissent - Trailer to the movie - 8 mins
Dissent: 1. To differ in poinion or feeling; to disagree. 2. To withhold assent or approval. A key issue in some countries today. This film is focused on this issue, as it relates to the freedom or ability of dissenting voices to be heard in American society today.

Corporate theft

1. Sarah McLachlan - 6 mins
A powerful short, that had me choked up even on the third screening. Wow! Drop me a line if you want the entire script, which I transcribed.

2. Store Wars - 58 mins
Wal Mart is the largest retail chain in the world . . . that's the opening line. Then watch if you can spot a good corporate citizen at work? No holds barred. But there's a resistance building, people asking about what values we want to live by, and who gets to decide.

3. This Little River went to Market - 36 mins
Taking a powerful revelation focused on the documentary, "The Corporate Theft of Water," and Maude Barlow, a woman on fire and speaking on behalf of the Council of Canadians about the inequitys of water distribution across the globe. Then adding the comparable theft of NZ's water, Scott Ewing weaves the story together to point out that it is happening here. Ignore at your peril.

Here are your wars over water - this is yesterday's future.

911 Research

1. 9/11 and the American Empire David Ray Griffin - 81 mins
On 18 April 2005, 450 people gathered at the University of Wisconsin, Madison for an event hosted by the newly formed Muslim, Jewish, Christian Alliance.

This is a film of that talk. In it David Ray Griffin, a leading and respected Christian Theologian, describes the present understanding (held by many) of what actually happened on that day.

He also made it clear what growing numbers of that countries leaders think about their country’s government, military and media.

He carefully covers all the points of view held by different portions of the American (and global populations). No matter what your understandings are about the events of this date, or what your view of the current politics and military of any country are, you are likely to find them reflected here. You may also find yourself being gently stretched to see the events from other persepectives.

In case you wanted to persue this subject further after watching this film, here is the complete transcript of David Ray Griffin’s talk, complete with footnotes.

2. Loose Change 2nd Edition - 81 mins
The first edition was great, the second is even better. The young person speaking to the images and information presented in this video is calm and clear. He offers information that is worthy of your consideration if you are seeking the truth about the events of the day. This film will leave you in the healthy place of having many unanswered questions.

3. Pentagon Strike - 8 mins
A simple presentation of the facts that have not been satisfactorily answered, about this particular "attack" on that day we will all remember. The question is: what story will we remember?

Play anything video software

This folder contains open source - free - video player software called VLC for Mac and for PC. It is available here, but I have saved it to disk for you. The file is quite small and it is quick and easy to install and run.

I have found very few video formats that the VLC player is not able to run, as well as any other media player. I have found Windows media player to be quite limited, but Real player (also a free version available online) to be very good.

80Gb external USB drive

USB hard drives plug into the USB port of any PC or Mac. No driver software is needed on the computer. The film content takes just over 20Gb, so there is nearly 60Gb of space for you to use as data backup, or to add more content.

If you want to send me your own USB drive I will copy this data onto it for you and return it promptly. If you don't have a drive and feel you could benefit from having one, I can put you onto a company which sells them for $150 each. You can arrange payment with them and have them send it to me for loading up. Drop me a line if you are interested: jmsinnz@gmail.com Or you can get this information on data DVDs.

This a powerful means of exchanging information. When you have these films on hand, invite some friends over. You can be certain of some lively conversation.

More key titles

More titles I would like to include, but due to copyright restrictions am unable to.

Outfoxed - 77 mins
In case you still think the mass media is serving your best interest, think again. This professionaly researched and documented film lays out the facts, clearly and directly. It will change the way you look at TV and the newspapers.

This is what Democracy looks like - 68 mins
Filmed by 100 media activists. Some shocking footage of the fierce resistance put up by both activists against a global economy (Seattle, 1999), and by the World Trade Organisation backed by para military. The film title points to both these aspects of reality - the fact that in a "democratic" state, peaceful demonstration against a global force such as the WTO is unacceptable, and the fact that people (in this case people with passion arguing against the direction the world is going) can organise themselves along democratic lines - without a single leader - and be effective. http://www.bignoisefilms.com/store.htm

The 4th world war - 76 mins
From the front-lines of conflicts in Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Palestine, Korea, 'the North' from Seattle to Genova, and the 'War on Terror' in New York, Afghanistan, and Iraq. It is the story of men and women around the world who resist being annihilated in this war. While our airwaves are crowded with talk of a new world war, narrated by generals and filmed from the noses of bombs, the human story of this global conflict remains untold. "The Fourth World War" brings together the images and voices of the war on the ground. It is a story of a war without end and of those who resist. The product of over two years of filming on the inside of movements on five continents, "The Fourth World War" is a film that would have been unimaginable at any other moment in history. Directed by the makers of "This Is What Democracy Looks Like" and "Zapatista", produced through a global network of independent media and activist groups, it is a truly global film from our global movement.

Road to Guantanamo - 90 mins
This is a graphically reconstructed documentary. It's hard to imagine how I found myself wondering how I would cope with the abuse that was piled on these british citizens in their ordeal - from which they were eventually released, without compensation or apology. Can be downloaded for a fee from here.

The End of Suburbia - 77 mins
Peak oil and where it could end. We have been skipping along, covering more and more farmland with suburban concrete and asphalt, fences and malls. It was even encouraged and lobbied for (not always fairly) by the greed of those who sought to make more money, faster. When this ends it might not look pretty. To purchase go here.

The world according to Bush - 92 mins
This is a talking heads film from both sides of the fence. Candid interviews carefully edited tell the story of who is behind the policies.

Poison DUst - 84 mins
Lot's of personal stories from US soldiers and their wives, showing birth defects that are not only happening in Iraq, but in the US and the UK as well. This is the story of Depleted Uranium. See also Doctor DU and Dying Children (in "Terrorism Coalition Style").

The future of food - 90 mins
Corporate take over of food production may not lead in the direction we would choose to go - if we had a say.The film looks at the legal insanity that allows farmers to be taken to court and sued by the legal system as it rules in favour of Genetically Modified seed stock producers like Monsanto. But it is also a success story of one Californian county that has to some degree, kept GM foods at bay.

McLibel - 52 mins
The ultimate David and Goliath story of a man and a woman living in the UK. They are out of work and fighting MacDonald's policys of abuse to workers, irresponsibility regarding people's health, and self promotion as a good corporate citizen. These two take on the giant who keeps them in the court system for about three years after taking out a Libel case against them. Heart warming and encouraging.
