Beyond the Frame

http://www.mediaed.org

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.

A single wrong-tard posting an inane superfluous comment to zero effect on a YouTube video.

"leftards" - this comment by darski2007 is typical of right wing attacks - there is merely a puff of hatred and ridicule, yet no reasoned response or counterargument to what is presented - it is, in essence, nothing more than a diversion to the weak minded, in the hope that those who follow will look away, not wanted to be associated with the "leftards". I suggest instead, ye who follow here, that you listen to these people and hear their thoughts - think and judge for yourselves.

Ron Paul is a creep, he cannot stop the war.

Kenyon~man, why did you take this job? Your editing is great - but this movie is for those who already know what they're hearing - you know? It would be great if work like this in reality changed anything - but it's just sad, instead. I would rather watch a jackal eat live worms after jumping into the Mississippi river. America deserves better than this creaky robot.

correction to my previous comment "You will be suprise the how many answer "water melon" will fall to the ground first

[whizkid3]

Try ask someone this question to see how many person can give the correct answer: 1 water melon and 1 orange, both let free fall from 10 meter tall ladder simultaneously. You will be suprise the how many answer "water melon". Worst some even call you an idiot when you tell them the real answer.
