![]() The blurb from the jacket says: What would the world look like if America never existed? Dinesh D'Souza, bestselling author and creator of 2016: Obama's America, explores this fascinating question in this stirring, thought-provoking documentary. Through re-enactments of landmark events in America's history and insightful interviews with leading historians, D'Souza brings us face-to-face with the brave heroes who built a great nation, and offers a powerful defense against critics intent upon the shaming of America.' ------ Dinesh D'Souza seems to fancy himself as the Michael Moore of the far right wing. Yet, he lacks the clarity, vision, and focus. His alternative interpretation of history is thought provoking but Im not sure how much of it is fact vs word voodoo. (He beats me hands down in word voodoo-ism). He vacillates between shaming, blaming, validating, and vilifying, entire groups of people, all with an annoying melodramatic soundtrack. Overall, I dont have a freakin clue what this documentary was supposed to be about. But, it will piss off a lot of different groups of people. |

Independent lens: Muscle Shoals
Currently airing on many PBS stations and streaming online this documents the history of an american recording studio. "Located on the banks of the Tennessee River, Muscle Shoals, Alabama is the unlikely breeding ground for some of the most creative and defiant music in American history. Under the spiritual influence of the "Singing River" as Native Americans called it, the music of Muscle Shoals is some of the most important and resonant of all time. "I'll Take You There", "Brown Sugar", "When a Man Loves a Woman", "I Never Loved A Man the Way That I Loved You", "Mustang Sally", "Tell Mama", "Kodachrome", and "Freebird" are just a few of the tens of thousands of tracks created there. At its heart is Rick Hall who founded FAME Studios. Overcoming crushing poverty and staggering tragedies, he brought black and white musicians together to create music that would last for generations while also giving birth to the unique 'Muscle Shoals sound' and the rhythm section 'The Swampers'. In this movie legendary artists including Aretha Franklin, Greg Allman, Bono, Clarence Carter, Jimmy Cliff, Mick Jagger, Etta James, Alicia Keys, Wilson Pickett, Keith Richards, Percy Sledge, Steve Winwood and others bear witness to the magnetism and mystery of Muscle Shoals and why it remains a global influence today." |

The first serious documentary on boredom.
Director Albert Nerenberg asks why the subject of boredom has been so religiously avoided and shows that boredom isn't what one thinks it is. The film's breakthrough research suggests boredom is likely a state of stress. It may also be killing people. Perhaps the powers that be would rather people not know that, especially if one is inside some kind of educational institution or dead end job. Note Bonus features: Revolutionary accelerated unboring version (48 min.) for the easily bored. Informative, cute, funny, and based in neuroscience. Interesting stuff. |
