Hi, Jeff Here's our subject area on activism films http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/subjects/activism.html. It's fairly obvious which ones are non-US based. There are two series called RAINMAKERS about individual young activists around the world.
For individual titles I would recommend: FORCE OF NATURE (Canada) http://bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/fon.html (Great new film) THE MAN WE CALLED JUAN CARLOS (Guatemala) http://bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/man.html WHO'S COUNTING? SEX, LIES AND GLOBAL ECONOMICS (New Zealand) http://bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/whoo.html A classic WATER ON THE TABLE (Canada) http://bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/wott.html A TRIBE OF HIS OWN (India) http://bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/toho.html And though it's not about a single activist, YOU'VE BEEN TRUMPED, about local farmers and the filmmaker fighting The Donald's proposed golf course/hotel complex in Aberdeen, Scotland is not to be missed. http://bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/ytrump.html Best, John -----Original Message----- From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Pearson Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2012 10:22 AM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: [Videolib] docu on activist working in a non-US context Hello video liberators. An instructor requested "Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry" but that won't be out until december, so he then requested any alternatives, "a rich documentary that focuses on an activist working in a non-US context." Any ideas? It's driving me crazy that I cannot think of anything. I know there's plenty. Thanks, Jeff UMich VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
