The Bottom Line - Privatizing The World 53:08

What has become of the concept of the "common more...good", which is the basis of life in society? Can the market serve as a guarantor of the common good? Through various stories shot in Canada, the USA, Mexico, France, Brazil and India, this documentary shows the consequences of the world's submission to private interests: a Canadian farmer is sued when patented seeds are blown into his fields; traditional knowledge is patented in India; American people without insurance are denied healthcare; Canadian water is sold to the highest bidder while thousands of people in the world desperately need it. Using an effective parody of the "Voice-of-God" documentary style, "Privatizing the World" presents a revealing snapshot of a global community at a crossroads. Bring your friends and family; this film is an engaging introduction to the privatization of the commons.

In this lecture, Dr. Russell Blaylock explains one of the most important connections between nutrition and our health- how nutrition affects our behavior. Citing a series of important studies, he shows that good nutrition can powerfully enhance our memory, mood, and behavior in a socially desirable way. Like wise he shows us that poor nutrition can lead our youth into a world of violence, crime, depression and suicide. By using an impressive array of studies on both juvenile and adult prisoners, Dr. Blaylock demonstrates these principals and outlines specific measures you can take to protect your children from these detrimental effects.

  • The British series Dispatches covers the election process in Britain, and how the system has changed to use a computer model to target voters in specific regions based on promises that nobody could disagree with, basically making promises they don't intend to keep, whatever will get them elected, while avoiding the true hard issues that people want them to deal with that will hurt business, cost votors more money and help the environment. Basically it shows that we are offered several identical candidates and no real choice - just like in the USA.

  • Journey with Carl Sagan as your guide, from humanity's wandering and nomadic antiquity to the present day. Some time before he died in 1996, Carl Sagan recorded a partial audio version of his 1994 book "Pale Blue Dot". Often described as the "sequel" to Cosmos, the audio version of Pale Blue Dot is, at this moment, regrettably out of print. This video is "episode one" of an unauthorized attempt at producing a series of videos based on Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" audio book, Combining the book's narration with a soundtrack and appropriate imagery intended to recall the feel of the classic BBC and PBS documentary series such as "Ascent of Man" and "Cosmos".
