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.

@robertkj8849 You mean the military that did this: watch?v=IBfjXQBLryc&NR=1 Watch from around 6.59 as your highly appreciated military knowingly bombs journalists (posing no threat to them) and civilians on the street. Yeah, go Team America World Police.

Jensen is a total dick. Read his many pieces and op-eds. He is extreme leftist. Typical of so many college professors, they live in an insulated world and know nothing outside of their little campus. People like this s/b forced to live 6 months in a war zone and maybe then they'd appreciate the military that they hate so much.

@robertkjjj Come on! He's providing a thougthful and insightful analysis of historical inequities and unfortunate but real characteristics of european-white-male dominated societies. Just because you might not agree with his analysis doesn't make him "self-hating" nor does it have anything to do with sexuality. Professor Jensen happens to be heterosexual with a wife and an 18-yr old son.

Look around for a mirror before you decide to tell someone they're "full of it."

How true. Shock and awe requires that the message gets out to the world, so that the entire planet's population is properly shocked and subdued, and will not resist.
