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.

I think the Bush admin and Neo-Cons miscalculated the mess that would be produced out of invasion of Iraq.....if we were intending to control one of the largest oil reserve in the world via privatized corporation with their own hired assassins......did they forget the basic economic 101:

1. affordable oil = satisfied masses that would not demand revolutionary changes.

2. War = costly economy that will depress modern America.

I disagree, its about Empire(IMC), Oil Profits (Squeezing the consumer out of every dollar), the flow of the imperial Petro-dollar and the AIPAC.

The US should be out of the region. Its no coincidence that the figurehead(bush) of Big Oil is causing the wars that both drive the prices and profits of oil through the roof and then saying we need to control the oil
