Black Tar Heroin:

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4sku4_black-tar-heroin-part-1-4_lifestyle

"An extraordinary look at two years in the lives of five young heroin addicts, Black Tar Heroin offers a rare and intimate portrait of how heroin devastates young lives. The film chronicles the daily lives of Jake, Jessica, Tracey, Oreo and Alice, three young women and two young men, ages 18 to 25, as they face the ever-present perils of hard core drug addiction--crime, prostitution, rape, incarceration, AIDS, overdoses and death.

The film shows the brutality and degradation of the drug life, but also depicts the addicts' pain and raw yearning -- to get clean, to hold relationships together, to re-connect with their families, to get their lives back."

Link isn't working right now. Is this the docu with the girl who's crying & he's 'consoling' her completely nude but in his cowboy hat?

Really appreciated the "Black Tar Heroin" documentary link--it's extremely well done.

I was wondering why Alice looked so familiar, but of course she made it to be a bit of a Portland icon with her modeling/adult dancing before moving to LA a couple of years ago...

Yea this is that one. Max is the fucking man. Not as cool as Khan or the cameraman from facialabuse but up there.

Docu about the beginnings of the greatest bike event on the face of the planet! Worth watching just for the gnarly crashes.

I've recently noticed a bunch of Herzog docs on youtube. I know it's not the greatest medium for taking in such films, but if you're having a hard time finding them, or don't have the money, it's an option.

The Great Ecstasy of the Woodcaver Steiner - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liYnvIBLMBQ

A whole bunch more that I'm too lazy to post right now, just check it yourself. There are also some features as well, I've seen Signs of Life at least.

Watch this & you can help stop someone who is nowhere near where you're at...

Too bad Cut Hands wasn't asked to contribute the soundtrack.

Satirical British response to this ridiculous campaign which as far as I can tell is a very clever PR/psyops exercise preparing our populations for how we're gonna break the Chinese near-monopoly on African material exploitation (but maybe I'm just cynical): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20jppqEiqc0

Seems a proper docu about Kony & his activities would have been better rather than doing something the director intended to "go viral" as he said in a tv interview I saw last night. I guess this is the fault of instant social media. Got to keep it short & melodramatic to keep the attention of teenagers. Building schools, etc is great (US military has built schools in Iraq but no one over here noticed/cared) but just making someone's name known worldwide isn't going to make a mass killer turn himself in...

I saw a documentary about the LRA 10 or so years ago and have been pretty into him ever since. Can't remember what it was called but it was mostly just the kids talking.

There's this one, but it has a bunch of stupid people talking:

I have an interview with him in an issue of Harper's somewhere where Kony denies that they abduct kids. The interviewer had spoken with kids outside of the compound who told their stories of being abducted etc. and when Kony is confronted with this he basically says that he trained the kids to say that to outsiders or something. I don't know, I can't find it, it's this article http://harpers.org/archive/2006/12/0081306.


I always loved these kids too:

I've been following African politics for many years, Kony is obviously old old news, pretty much convinced that this is the opening shot in a new US/European campaign to grab African resources that the Chinese  monopolise right now. Using a nauseatingly hypocritical human rights platform.

Obama sent Special Forces advance troops into Uganda six months ago, very quietly and barely reported.

Nick Davies' book 'Flat Earth News' is an excellent expose of the PR/propaganda/psyops that go into our daily news which now includes internet hits like this. Check out Invisble Children's partner organisations for obvious CIA links.
