is going on at SOU, “Car Lot” shows Town and
Country Chevrolet setting up a car lot in the center of a
public university! OPEU Dist. 4 productions. - 10 minutes
Loose Change: Provides without a shadow of a doubt, that
what happened on September 11, 2001
was no act carried out
by nineteen hijackers affiliated with Al Qaeda, nor a plan
implemented
by Osama Bin Laden. Instead, the infamous event
was a cold, calculated, and malicious attack on the
American
people carried out by a group of tyrants ready and willing
to do whatever it takes to keep their
strangled hold on this
country; 9/11 was a self-inflicted wound. All that is asked
of you when viewing the
documentary produced by Dylan Avery
is to watch it with an open mind--set aside your political
beliefs
indefinitely. Remember, Loose Change is only an eye-opener;
new evidence of the inside-job is revealed each and every
day.

Molly Ivins comes to Southern Oregon: On Oct. 24, 2003,
Molly
Ivins made an incredible appearance at the Medford Armory

The Miami Model: In November 2003, trade ministers from 34
countries met in Miami, Florida,
to negotiate the Free Trade
Area of the Americas (FTAA). To show their opposition to
the FTAA,
thousands of union members, environmentalists,
and human rights activists also gathered in Miami.
What happened
there was a disturbing example of the state of free speech
under a wartime president.
Protestors were attacked with
rubber bullets, pepper spray, electric tazer guns, and
shock
batons, all coordinated by the new United States Department
of Homeland Security,
and paid for by an $8.5 million line
item within the $87 billion appropriation for the Iraq war.
THE MIAMI MODEL also showcases the issues that drove the
protestors to Miami,
and the alternative models of grassroots
resistance, creative action sustainable development, and
solidarity that they came to promote
The Wealthy Fore$t(ers) Initiative: This production takes
a look at the Biscuit Burn, an area fire that was the
largest
in all of the United States, and puts into perspective the
so-called “healthy forest initiative”,
the current
federal forest plan which is backed by big corporate lumber,
Oregon’s Representative Greg Walden and the Bush Administration.
This video exposes a wolf in sheep’s clothing with
multiple interviews conducted on site within the Biscuit
Burn.
Viewers will see footage showing an area that is not “all
blackened trees that have to be harvested before they go
to waste”
(the hype). Learn the other side of the story
and aside from the corporate hype find out how the healthy
forest initiative is really the wealthy fore$t(ers) initiative.
