The riveting story about the battle for the presidency in Florida - and the undermining of democracy in America. Filmmakers Richard Ray Perez and Joan Sekler examine modern America’s most controversial political contest: the 2000 election of George W. Bush.

This stirring video document, by award winning filmmaker Marc Huestis is a compilation of footage shot during the week of resistance. Inspired by
Haskell Wexler's 1969 title MEDIUM COOL, WAY COOL captures the compelling sights and sounds of the streets of New York during the Republican National Convention. While the mainstream media focused on the goings on inside Madison
Square Garden, hordes of independent media documented the other side of the story. Huestis' camera is one of many capturing the power of people
from New York, around the country and across the globe to say no to the Bush agenda.

9/11: IN PLANE SITE and SOLDIER'S PAY

9/11: IN PLANE SITE

USA., 2004,
William Lewis,
56 minutes

"Should be seen by everyone who has an opinion about what happened Sept. 11, 2001."
- Idaho Observer

"Raises extremely disturbing questions about the planes that hit the Pentagon and the World Trade Center."
- News With Views

Utilizing footage from TV networks — often stuff that was shown only one time and never seen again — this film methodically provides proof positive that the government lied about what happened in Washington on that fateful day, an event that was the culmination of the greatest sneak attack in American history.

In November, 2003, trade ministers from 34 countries met in Miami, Florida, to negotiate the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). The FTAA threatens to devastate workers, the environment, and public services like health care, education, and water, and to destroy indigenous rights and cultural diversity across North, Central, and South America.
Thousands of union members, environmentalists, feminists, anarchists, students, farm workers, media activists, and human rights activists who gathered in Miami to struggle against the FTAA were brutally attacked with rubber bullets, pepper spray, electric guns and shock batons, embedded reporters and information warfare, all coordinated by the new United States Department of Homeland Security.
Against Capital's model of paramilitary oppression, information warfare, and corporate rule, we offered models of grassroots resistance, creative action and solidarity.

“Tracy Grammer is a brilliant artist and unique individual. Her voice is distinctive, as is her mastery over the instruments she plays.”
- Joan Baez

“Tracy Grammer is the talk of the folk nation.”
- The Boston Globe

Tracy Grammer announces the release of The Verdant Mile, a seven song all-acoustic EP comprised of two originals and five beautifully chosen covers. The title track is a poignant yet upbeat meditation on loss and
survival, written by Grammer to address the passing of her longtime musical partner, Dave Carter, who died in 2002. A reviewer for the online
publication Folkwax wrote: "Tracy's song reminds me of how Boulder To Birmingham was such a significant presence on Pieces Of The Sky, Emmylou
Harris' first major label release... The melody is upbeat, but that apart, it stands as a testament to this woman's courage, considering the extent of her loss, that she's willing to place this recent part of her life journey full-square in the public domain. "
