The War On Democracy by John Pilger
Award winning journalist John Pilger examines the role of Washington in America’s manipulation of Latin American politics during the last 50 years leading up to the struggle by ordinary people to free themselves from poverty and racism. Since the mid 19th Century Latin America has been the ‘backyard’ of the US, a collection of mostly vassal states whose compliant and often brutal regimes have reinforced the ‘invisibility’ of their majority peoples. The film reveals similar CIA policies to be continuing in Iraq, Iran and Lebanon. The rise of Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez despite ongoing Washington backed efforts to unseat him in spite of his overwhelming mass popularity, is democratic in a way that we have forgotten or abandoned in the west. True Democracy being a solid 80% voter turnout in support of Chavez in over 6 elections.
F For Fake - Elmyr de Hory Documentary
Elmyr de Hory (born 'Hoffmann Elemér') (1906 – December 11, 1976) was a famous Hungarian-born painter and art forger. He claimed to have sold over a thousand forgeries to reputable art galleries all over the world. His forgeries garnered much celebrity from a Clifford Irving book and from F for Fake, a documentary of sorts by Orson Welles, making his works popular in their own right.
Most of the information regarding de Hory's early life comes from what he told American writer Clifford Irving, who wrote the first biography about him. Since Elmyr's success was reliant upon his skills of deception and invention, it would be difficult to take the facts that he told about his own life at face value, as Clifford Irving himself admitted. Elmyr claimed that he was born into an aristocratic family, that his father was an Austro-Hungarian ambassador and that his mother came from a family of bankers. However, subsequent investigation has suggested that Elmyr's childhood was, more likely, of an ordinary, middle class variety. His parents left him to the care of various governesses and were divorced when Elmyr was sixteen.

John Bogle - The Battle for the Soul of Capitalism
The founder of Vanguard Securities, John Bogle, discusses his new book, The Battle for the Soul of Capitalism. In the last decade, the United States financial system has shaken our confidence. Few people have been more outspoken in calling for Wall Street to return to its place as a credible and transparent American institution than John Bogle. A zealous advocate for the small investor for more than fifty years, he knows that a trustworthy business and financial complex is essential to America's continuing leadership in the world. Bogle argues for a return to a governance structure, in which owners' capital that has been put at risk is used in their interests rather than in the interests of corporate and financial managers. Time magazine named Bogle one of the most influential people in the world. Bogle is a founding father of the National Constitution Center and Chairman of its Board of Trustees. |
