The Armenian Genocide - The Critically Acclaimed PBS Documentary by Emmy Award Winner Andrew Goldberg15 reviews

Two Cats Productions, 2006

remarkable

+ Theory of Evolution and Turkey :)
+ Stone cold fact

This is a moving documentary. It's powerful, evocative and yet tremendously difficult to watch because of the historical status of the Armenian genocide. It is an atrocity that continues to be largely overlooked, or conveniently denied because of the inconvenience of the truth. I agree that ...

Frontline - The Meth Epidemic3 reviews
Jessica Savitch, Will Lyman

PBS (Direct), 2006

I thought it was very informative

Greta Gaard

Drawing on the insights of ecology, feminism, and socialism, ecofeminism's basic premise is that the ideology that authorizes oppression based on race, class, gender, sexuality, physical abilities, and species is the same ideology that sanctions the oppression of nature. In this collection of essays, feminist scholars and activists discuss the relationships among human begins, the natural ...

Raw Vision

Fear No Art!!

+ collectable, fascinating reading

I discovered this journal recently and couldn't be more thrilled. I realized that I,too,am an "outsider" artist, untrained, 'naive,' and finally, after all these years of being an RN, unafraid to pursue my own art. If you love art and yearn to break the boundaries and confines which we've been ...

The American Experience: The Nuremberg Trials3 reviews

PBS (Direct), 2006

An adequate overview of the first trials

When the producers attempt to vacuum-pack, into one hour, the entire story of the first round of the war crime trials at Nuremberg (the trials themselves lasted very nearly a year), one has to expect that a fair amount of detail will be omitted. However, this production skims the surface to such a ...

Freidoune Sahebjam

Excellant book that needs to be read by more Americans

Well written, factual and horrific account of how, in many countries today, religion has been twisted to suit the needs of certain people, namely men.
