Running on the Sun - Badwater - (with ger subs)

"The film documents the trials and tribulations of these athletes as they run 135 miles through Death Valley in July and explores the motivations behind this seemingly masochistic contest.

A celebration of the perseverance of the human will beyond the limits of the human body."

This race took place in 1999...yes, and has continued.

As a runner, would I run under these conditions?
With a great team...

For now, my sights are on another race...not quite
so dramatic.

For the other runners on this site...enjoy

Stop Fascism: Chris Hedges in Portland Part 1/2 (5-26-17)

This video is from http://kboo.fm community radio. It's the first of two parts with Chris speaking in Portland. In this part, he simply gives a speech. In part two, he answers questions with Joe Sacco.


Capitalism's 'Sacrifice Zones' - Bill Moyers & Chr

This video is 5 years old and continues to be more
than relevant. Greco

(July 20, 2012) There are forgotten corners of this
country where Americans are trapped in endless cycles of
poverty, powerlessness, and despair as a direct result
of capitalistic greed. Journalist Chris Hedges calls these
places "sacrifice zones," and joins Bill this week on
Moyers & Company to explore how areas like
Camden, New Jersey; Immokalee, Florida; and
parts of West Virginia suffer while the corporations
that plundered them thrive.

"These are areas that have been destroyed for
quarterly profit. We're talking about environmentally
destroyed, communities destroyed, human beings
destroyed, families destroyed," Hedges tells Bill.

"It's the willingness on the part of people who seek
personal enrichment to destroy other human beings...
And because the mechanisms of governance can no
longer control them, there is nothing now within the
formal mechanisms of power to stop them from creating
essentially a corporate oligarchic state."

The broadcast includes a visit with comics artist and
journalist Joe Sacco, who collaborated with Hedges on
Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt, an
illustrated account of their travels through America's
sacrifice zones. Kirkus Reviews calls it an "unabashedly
polemic, angry manifesto that is certain to open
eyes, intensify outrage and incite argument about
corporate greed."

A columnist for Truthdig, Hedges also describes the
difference between truth and news. "The really great
reporters — and I've seen them in all sorts of news
organizations — are management headaches because
they care about truth at the expense of their own
career," Hedges says."
