Hi Rhoda,
Chiming in from distributor BOND/360 as a few of our newer titles hit both of
your mentioned requests.
Politically driven rap documentary:
SHAKE THE DUST
>From executive producer and rapper Nasir “Nas” Jones and
>journalist-turned-filmmaker Adam Sjöberg, Shake the Dust chronicles the
>influence of breakdancing, exploring how it strikes a resonant chord in the
>slums, favelas and ghettos of the world and far beyond. Showcasing some of the
>most jaw-dropping breakdancing moves ever committed to film, Shake the Dust is
>an inspiring tribute to the uplifting power of music and movement.
Radical movies that take on the justice system:
THE NOTORIOUS MR BOUT
Viktor Bout was a Russian entrepreneur, a war profiteer, an aviation magnate,
an arms smuggler and, strangest of all, an amateur filmmaker. Until three days
prior to his 2008 arrest on charges of conspiring to kill Americans, Bout kept
the camera running, documenting a life spent in the grey areas of international
law. Dubbed the "merchant of death" and portrayed by Nicolas Cage in Lord of
War, Viktor Bout can justifiably be called the world's most famous arms dealer.
With unprecedented access to Bout's home movies and DEA surveillance material
gathered during the sting operation to bring him down, The Notorious Mr. Bout
is a portrait of a life much mythologized but little understood.
DEEP WEB
Deep Web gives the inside story of one of the the most important and riveting
digital crime sagas of the century -- the arrest of Ross William Ulbricht, the
convicted 30-year-old entrepreneur accused to be 'Dread Pirate Roberts,'
creator and operator of online black market Silk Road. The film explores how
the brightest minds and thought leaders behind the Deep Web are now caught in
the crosshairs of the battle for control of a future inextricably linked to
technology, with our digital rights hanging in the balance.
Please feel free to reach out to me directly!
Best,
Will Hilbert

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!

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

working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
