Re: [Videolib] Documentaries about youth unemployment

[Elizabeth Stanley]

Hello, Sue,

Bullfrog Films offers three titles that may shed some light on the youth 
unemployment issue in the US, and suggest some positive reponses to those 
challenges:

SHIFT CHANGE  DVD  http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/shift.html
Investigates employee-owned businesses that provide secure, dignified jobs in 
democratic workplaces even in today's economic crisis.
Shows young people gaining employment in employee-owned businesses in the US.

"A refreshing and thoughtful response to those who argue there are no better or 
even viable alternatives to our current for-profit, top-down market-based 
economic organizations...The film exposes the viewer to the wide range of 
workers (from highly skilled engineers to newly arrived immigrant workers) as 
well as workplaces (from household appliances to industrial laundry) engaged in 
cooperative production... could easily be used effectively in economics, 
sociology, political science, and management courses." Randy Albelda, Professor 
of Economics and Senior Research Associate at the Center for Social Policy, 
University of Massachusetts-Boston

"Highly recommended...Fascinating and inspiring. While viewing this, one may 
often find oneself asking, 'How can I get started?' The film not only lays out 
a blueprint for success in forming a progressive cooperative, but encourages 
the practice as a manner to establish a community consciousness...Addresses 
such issues as wage pressures, competition, and globalization...A beautifully 
crafted film." Michael J. Coffta, Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania, 
Educational Media Reviews Online

DETROPIA  DVD  http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/detro.html
A vivid portrait of Detroit, America's first major post-industrial city, as it 
struggles to deal with the consequences of a broken economic system.

WE ARE NOT GHOSTS  DVD  http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/wang.html
Detroiters are reinventing the old Motor City as a vibrant new self-sustaining 
and human-scaled city for a post industrial world.  In the midst of high 
unemployment, the film shows college age and young adults stepping up to 
leadership in small-scale, local and community businesses and organizations 
that provide a path from unemployment.

All three are available for purchase or rent, with public performance rights 
for screening on campus.  Please contact us.

[Videolib] Looking for documentaries about food

[Jeff Tamblyn]

Kino Lorber has three critically acclaimed films about food:

El Bulli , More Than
Honey
 and A Year in Burgundy 

($349 each with PPR, Digital Site Licenses also available .)

Hope you'll include them on your list! If you would like to preview any of
these titles, send us a note and we'll send you a link to watch online.

Not sure what a Digital Site License is?

Digital Site Licenses allow colleges, universities or libraries to encode,
locally host and stream to their community on a closed system for the life
of the digital file. We also are offering SVOD on an a la carte basis. Call
us to learn more.

Hey Videolibbers!

The South Asian Students Association at Wake Forest approached me with

Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Sid

2. Dilwale Dulhaniya Le
Jayenge

3. Dil Chahta

Thanks in advance, for your help.
