Title: William Greider on the Looting of Social Security
Runtime: 3:44
Date posted: 18 years ago
Description: The resounding defeat of George W. Bush's effort to privatize Social Security in 2005 seemed to be the end of attacks against the program. However, William Greider argues that Wall Street interests are leading a new round of threats to Social Security in a plan to use money from the program to recover the costs of bailing out banks. Although President Obama has indicated support for Social Security in the past, Greider argues that progressives need to exert pressure and educate the public about its solvency in order to counteract the efforts of private interests pushing for a compromise.

Title: The Nation's Stuart Klawans Reviews Gommorah, The Class
Runtime: 5:20
Date posted: 18 years ago
Description: Klawans, film critic for The Nation, reviews two of the most talked about foreign films of 2008. Gommorah, "an endlessly compelling" Italian movie about the Neapolitan mob based on Roberto Saviano's book of the same name, was directed by Matteo Garrone. It is "as harsh and un-romanticized a gang movie" as Stuart Klawans has ever seen. The Class has been shortlisted for "Best Foreign Language Film" but Klawans encourages viewers not to "let the Oscar nomination get in your way of liking the movie." This French film directed by Laurent Cantet and written by the lead actor, François Bégaudeau, is an "ethically complex, emotionally troubling" look inside one diverse Parisian classroom. Both films are daring in their own ways and are highly recommended.

Title: Hope for the Homeless?
Runtime: 6:04
Date posted: 18 years ago
Description: Throughout the country, homelessness is rising, with ever more families in ever more towns and cities sleeping in shelters, surfing friends' couches and camping in their cars. By most accounts, there's little mystery to this rise in the ranks of shelter seekers. It's the economy and, more specifically, the recession and the foreclosure crisis. As people have lost their paychecks, or as the homes they were renting were foreclosed--most of today's homeless foreclosure victims are renters who were evicted, even though they paid rent, because their landlord had not kept up with the mortgage--their tenuous grip on stability has slipped away. And many housing experts think this could be just the beginning. Patrick Markee and Lizzie Ratner report from a New York intake clinic for homeless families in the Bronx.

Title: The Commons
Runtime: 3:47
Date posted: 18 years ago
Description: In a just world, the idea of wealth--be it money derived from the work of human hands, the resources and natural splendor of the planet itself--and the knowledge handed down through generations belongs to all of us. But in our decidedly unjust and imperfect world, our collective wealth is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few. There is be a better way--the notion of the commons--common land, resources, knowledge--is a common-sense way to share our natural, cultural, intellectual riches.

In this innovative animation, filmmaker Laura Hanna, writer Gavin Browning and video artists/animators Dana Schechter and Molly Schwartz examine the concept of "The Commons" as a means to achieve a society of justice and equality.

Title: Jesse Jackson '88: Twenty Years Later, Hope Lives On

The legacy of those campaigns, and those coalitions, formed the basis for a new politics that helped elect Barack Obama America's first black president.
