Beyond the Frame: Alternative Perspectives on the War on Terrorism

This DVD compilation offers a series of stand-alone interviews with some of the most prominent scholars, experts, and activists in political and social thought that critique mainstream media's coverage of the war on terrorism. This accessible format is designed to allow educators to bring the voices of these cultural analysts directly into their classrooms.

Launched in September 2001, Beyond the Frame is a series of interviews with leading scholars, experts, and activists offering alternative perspectives on the 9/11 tragedy and its aftermath. Originally a web-only project, the interviews were(and continue to be) available free of charge via streaming video through MEF's website. The project was a response to MEF's alarm at the dangerously restricted range of views presented by the mainstream media, largely confined to the opinions of political elites and a commercial frame dependent on advertisers and ratings.

Featuring some of the most prominent names in political and social thought, the site has been accessed to date by tens of thousands of people seeking alternatives to mainstream media coverage in a post-9/11 world. Created in response to educator requests, the DVD will allow these interviews to be shown in the classroom.

Featuring Interviews with: Seth Ackerman, Belquis Ahmadi, Joan Blades, Maliha Chishti, Noam Chomsky, Jo Commerford, Kevin Danaher, Cynthia Enloe, Henry Giroux, Janine Jackson, Robert Jensen, Sut Jhally, Darryl Kimball, Michael Kimmel, Mhahsa Khanbabai, Naomi Klein, Manning Marable, Mark Crispin Miller, Bernie Sanders, Ritu Sharma, Vandana Shiva, and Alisa Solomon.

You're just a punk. Who would you rather believe, Bill O'Reilly? Heaven forbid if someone should talk about things that aren't on mainstream television. And cite history no less. How dare they think differently than the official propaganda that comes out of conservative media outlets like, CBS, NBC, or Fox News.

@kimberlily1983 .... (cont) if you blow a building up for kicks, you'll get so many years, whereas if you do it to interfere with exploitative industry you'll get so many years plus a lot more (doubling of your sentence, etc.). Welcome to corporatocracy.

[kimberlily1983]

It's very concerning, that this line between civil disobedience/activism and terrorism is getting blurred. One example of what she's talking about is the AETA in the United States. It's not just that people are being discouraged and prevented from taking part in legal protest activities, but also that genuine acts of terrorism will be punished more harshly depending on the motivations: ....

Yep! Spaced out, naive and sexy. A dream girl.

Ms. Klein seems is articulate & sexy, and would probably be an excellent (hetero) lover!

[centurion180ad]

@bushbarnes Ms. Klein seems to be unaware of Universal Commercial Code, the fraudulent theft & murder system that is masquerading as law. She is articulate & sexy, and would probably be an excellent (hetero) lover.

[bushbarnes]

Naomi is probably sincere but very naive. If she ever lived under the kind of system she espouses she would be shocked at the corruption and end up being imprisoned or shot as an "enemy of the people" for trying to expose it. Another "useful idiot".
