First, on the YouTube video, you'll see a link like "blahblah=blahblah. You highlight and copy everything after the "=".

Then come back here and in the response page, you'll see an "Youtube" icon. Click this and it comes up . Paste the link (remember, everything after the =)in between the borders. This should bring up the video link when you hit "post".

Thank you! I hate feeling so new lol I'm sure it has its perks. I really need to take more time to look around, but I'm more of the "jump in" type.

Paul Goodman Changed My Life

Author of the legendary Growing Up Absurd, poet, out-queer family man, pacifist, visionary, co-founfer of Gestalt Therapy, and moral compass for the burgeoning counterculture of the 1960's.

Never heard of this guy. A lot of his stuff is geared toward disenfranchised young males. Cant say the documentary made me like him either.

ABOUT THE FILM

Hollywood has made over 4000 films about Native people; over 100 years of movies defining how Indians are seen by the world.

Reel Injun takes an entertaining and insightful look at the Hollywood Indian, exploring the portrayal of North American Natives through the history of cinema.

Travelling through the heartland of America, Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond looks at how the myth of “the Injun” has influenced the world’s understanding – and misunderstanding – of Natives.

With candid interviews with directors, writers, actors and activists, including Clint Eastwood, Jim Jarmusch, Robbie Robertson, Sacheen Littlefeather, John Trudell and Russell Means, clips from hundreds of classic and recent films, including Stagecoach, Little Big Man, The Outlaw Josey Wales, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and Atanarjuat the Fast Runner, Reel Injun traces the evolution of cinema’s depiction of Native people from the silent film era to today.

I think I've probably listed this film before in this thread, but I'm just so fond of it.

"I Like Killing Flies". It's about the smallest restaurant you have ever seen and the cantankerous, philosophical, greasy guy who cranks out amazing cuisine, scattering gems all the while.

The Gulabi gang is the subject of the 2010 movie Pink Saris by Kim Longinotto and the 2012 documentary Gulabi Gang by Nishtha Jain.

The first is more film than documentary but the story is powerful and reminds me how strong women are.

It is about women who, at 20,000 strong, have banded together to fight against abuse, rape, and child brides.

Things are changing in India, I am confidant that these women warriors are fundamental, if not direct instruments, to that change.

Errol Morris.

Love most of his work.

LOVE watching stuff like BBC's Blue Planet, and Human Planet. BluRay makes it spectacular!

Haven't seen The Invisible War, although it's come highly recommended--need to sort of gear up for that one.

Really liked Cave of Forgotten Dreams by Werner Herzog.

Pink Ribbons, Inc. is a very eye-opening documentary about the dark side of the pink ribbon campaign for breast cancer.

Has anyone else seen it?
