I got a whopper of a faculty request and I'd love some ideas from you all... Faculty is looking for documentaries ABOUT THE POWER OF MEDIA to create social change and social justice. * a documentary ABOUT political rap music, or conscious reggae music aimed at political issues, or political punk music. (I SUGGESTED Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes) * a documentary ABOUT radical movies that take on social justice issues. not talking about documentaries about the issues themselves, like a documentary about racism, but specifically a documentary about the USE OF THE MEDIA to address racism, for instance. Social justice issues could include: environmental issues, racism, sexism, economic inequality, war, etc. Or a documentary about the use of the internet for political movements and efforts at social change. Could be international, for instance, how the Arab Spring movements used the internet to organize. How about a documentary about WikiLeaks? (--I SUGGESTED Citizenfour and The Internet's Own Boy) Or any documentary about anti-consumerism / anti-materialism and/or media reform. Also, does anyone know of if there is a video on this guy: Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Choir --a New York City based radical performance community, with 50 performing members and a congregation in the thousands. We are wild anti-consumerist gospel shouters and Earth loving urban activists who have worked with communities on four continents defending community, life and imagination. Our Devils over the 15 years of our "church" have remained the same: Consumerism and Militarism. Love to hear from you all.....thanks! Rhonda Rhonda Rosen| Circulation Services Librarian William H.

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.
