Title: Half-Life | A Punxploitation Film
Runtime: 48:00
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: In this punxplotation drama from 1985, Farmboy Oswald runs away from his pig farm to become a punk in the big city.

“Punxploitation” was a genre that sprung up in the early 1980s, most famously on prime-time television in episodes of Quincy and CHiPS. It also popped up in crime dramas like the feature film Class of 1984. Punks were aesthetically interesting, with colorful, spiky hair and slogan-covered leather jackets. They made perfect bad guys, mostly because writers, producers and directors had no clue why teenagers would want to embrace this genre of music and style.

The original Twin Cities PBS hour-long drama Half Life fits this mold. It was actually written by someone who knew the punk scene well. The director had just spent two years learning his trade in Hollywood, but somewhere along the journey, the production lost its way. The punks depicted in this movie are basic, mean, drunk and dangerous – and their only purpose is to motivate the main ch...

Sonny Knight & The Lakers | The Lowertown Line | Live Performance

Title: Sonny Knight & The Lakers | The Lowertown Line | Live Performance
Runtime: 26:47
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: Who doesn’t love a soulful ensemble that performs in suits? Soul man Sonny Knight’s music is fueled by an unexpected assortment of life experiences, including a deployment to Vietnam and miles spent on the nation’s highways as a long-haul trucker. Backed by his seven-piece band The Lakers, Sonny Knight’s style runs deeper than throwback soul, and his songs weave together themes of “overcoming adversity, love found, love lost, and societal observation.” Warning: Their performance will make you dance. In public. At home.

Filmed on April 14, 2016.

Title: What Is Food Insecurity?
Runtime: 3:06
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: There’s no single definition of "food insecurity," but we asked people working in food justice to help us understand what it means. Experts point that food insecurity can include a lack of access to healthy foods, a lack of choice, and families not knowing where their next meal will come from. Race and geography can both contribute to a family’s ability to access to healthy foods.

A Year After Mourning, Minnesotans Celebrate George Floyd

Title: A Year After Mourning, Minnesotans Celebrate George Floyd
Runtime: 2:19
Date posted: 6 years ago
Description: Thousands of Minnesotans gathered at George Floyd Square on Tuesday, May 25, 2021 – the first anniversary of Floyd’s murder – to celebrate his life.

Smells of barbecue, burning sage and spring flowers wafted through the square. Music played between spoken word poetry, speeches and shouts for justice. It had been a year since Floyd was killed by former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin, who was found guilty on all three counts last month.

While the day was reserved to celebrate Floyd's life, it was also a day to reflect and call for equitable justice in America.

You can see photos from the celebration here: https://www.tptoriginals.org/a-year-after-mourning-minnesotans-celebrate-george-floyd/
