Comes the feel good community tale of a small VHS only video store facing foreclosure in a poor community (Pasaic, New Jersey). While watching the store for the owner, a blundering employee's friend accidentally erases all of the tapes. In order to keep their blunder from becoming apparent, the duo of Mos Def and Jack Black begin remaking the films themselves using homemade special effects and outdated filming techniques.

the coming together of a poor community in the face of class struggle,
big business threats and local government red tape.

its a good laugh and a good cry.

Lukey's Biased History of Sydney - Kellots Street

first part of an infinite to come series.
in the 1920's and 30's in inner Sydney, some of the most terrifying criminals in Australia waged war with razor & gun & grog.
Including interview with Larry, writer of 'Razor'

“Waterloo”- a 50 minute documentary completed in 1981, is an historical account of the 1970’s battle by residents of this inner Sydney suburb to save the area from slum clearance and redevelopment by public housing authorities.
In the early 70’s the state government initiated a massive scheme to pull down inner city terraces (slums) to build the new public housing estates that the government now wants to redevelop. “Waterloo” sets out to understand the residents fight-back in terms of the history of the suburb itself: The poverty and overcrowding at the turn of the century, and the impractical, idealistic solutions proposed by the planners. It also looks at Waterloo in the context of urban housing struggles in Sydney: the anti-eviction campaigns of the 30’s, the rise of the Resident Action movement in the late 60’s and the alliance it formed with building unions resulting in the now world famous Green Bans.
In the process the film reveals the history of the Housing Commission and the inner city Labor machine, prompting questions about the planning process, community involvement and bureaucratic accountability. How did the Housing Commission, a public housing authority set up by the State Labor Government in the forties, get to the stage of evicting workers to build more public housing?

Immigration. Justice. Ethnicity. Politics.

A film by Peter Miller, Sacco and Vanzetti tells the story of two Italian born anarchists executed for a murder in 1927 after a notoriously prejudiced trial. Millions of people and unions in the US and around the world protested on their behalf. Still relevant, the voices of Sacco and Vanzetti are read by John Turtorro and Tony Shalhoub with Howard Zinn, Arlo Guthrie, Studs Terkel and others ... (2006)

"A first-rate, engrossing documentary. The parallels with today are chilling and depressing." - Flaunt Magazine
