Export TV: Anatomy Of An Electronic Invasion This program investigates TV Marti, the US government propaganda broadcast aimed at Cuba. Experts in both Havana and Washington D.C. discuss the implications of the "electronic invasion" of Cuba. This activity violates Cuba's sovereign borders and the 1982 International Telecommunication Union (ITU) convention. This program raises the question, "What constitutes political aggression in the age of telecommunications?" Produced by Monica Melamid and Rafael Andreu in collaboration with the Center for Cuban Studies. (Havana, Cuba) Stone's Throw: TV From Cuba, Island In Goliath's Sea The stereotype of Cuban television is endless speeches by Fidel Castro chomping on a big cigar. Actually, it is in many ways similar to our own: the programming includes game shows, soap operas and music videos. There is one big difference: Cuban TV is not a commercial system. It has no advertisements except news of upcoming programs and short public service announcements. "Stone's Throw" consists of two half-hour programs which include a typical mix of the form and content of everyday Cuban television, subtitled and introduced with short explanatory notes. Some of the selections included are: music programs, soap operas, children's programming, street interviews and current affairs programs. Selected and edited by Dee Dee Halleck and Monica Melamid.

Alternative Views 086: How South Africa Got the Nuke An hour-long documentary is presented which shows that, in spite of laws and official statements to the contrary, various capitalist countries and corporations clandestinely provided the raw materials and technology which enable South Africa to build and test a nuclear bomb. Journeyman Pictures: The Apartheid Regimes Sinister Chemical Warfare Programme (2000) In the early 80's President Bohta was becoming paranoid about the growing unrest in the townships Project Coast was hatched to develop a biological and chemical warfare Program which would not only suppress the townships but act as a weapon in war. Project Coast involved 200 staff and cost one hundred million rand. The Roodeplaat Research Base, 15 km north of Pretoria was the centre for the research. The labs were top secret and highly protected. Inside scientists were working on the ultimate chemical, biological weapon which would be small, undetectable and cause paralysis of the muscles or death. Dr. Goosen who headed the biological Program says 'the weapon Placed in the wrong hands could have killed millions'. However luckily the project was disbanded in the early 90's when power was handed over to Mandela.

Video descriptions below: Savage War of Peace Video News Services (VNS) a South African video collective has been in operation since 1985. Created to produce video about South Africa, by South Africans, essentially for South Africans, VNS materials are distributed in collaboration with Afravision primarily in South Africa, in large part to mass organizations. A powerful analysis of the escalating violence that followed the launch of the Inkatha Freedom Party in the early 1 990's.

Produced by VNS (South Africa) Phambili Made for the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU), this tape examines women's role in the South African economy. From domestic workers to professionals, a wide range of women share their experience of competing in the racist and male-dominated economy while discussing possible solutions. Produced by VNS (South Africa) What is a Patient? The history of the health sector in South Africa is one of struggle. Since 1990, public health workers have engaged in several strikes aimed at improving their basic conditions and challenging the state's racist attitudes.

Fidel Castro died in 2016 as one of the greatest leaders of the free world, having liberated Cuba and led them through the troubles of the 90s to modern times

Documentarian Saul Landau died in 2013, but a youtube channel of his documentaries (incomplete) is maintained on youtube by his son, Greg Landau. Landau was astonishingly well traveled and has films and a rich history connected across the world with so many that are similarly no longer with us. Per the video description: A documentary film from 1968 produced by the KQED Film Unit, which in the words of narrator Richard O. Moore: "Is about three veterans of Mississippi [of the Civil Rights movement] who have become peace spokesman for the new opposition activist. It traces their thought and action over the past year, as they see themselves moving from demonstration to political organizing." Features interviews, speeches and political reflections from Mario Savio ("for the new radical politics"), Stokely Carmichael ("speaks for Black Power") and David Harris ("for the non-violent draft resistance"). At one point, Savio expresses his opinion that: "Protest doesn't work and it's something which is very clear now." All three men are wrestling with how to change the direction of U.S. domestic and foreign policy and are united in their opposition to the Vietnam War. Includes scenes of mass demonstrations, arrests and also interviews and speeches by: President Lyndon Johnson; Julian Bond (25:11); Robert Vaughn (25:24); Suzanne Goldberg (Savio's first wife); William Appleman Williams; Herbert Marcuse and Bobby Seale. This film was directed by Moore, Saul Landau and Irving Saraf, with additional photography by Philip Greene. This is indicated by subtitles. Opening graphic designed by Carrie Hawks. Some of the audio was cleaned up, enhanced. This is From Protest to Resistance, released in 1968.
