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.

Poignant commentary.

By the way toolondon, Chomsky is an Atheist--but it would be nice if he lives a while longer to help us through these tough times.

coffeebeaner: Australia and Canada may be a bit better, but you'd be better off in Northern Europe, I think.

Congress works mostly for the rich... surprise surprise. If people organize enough and flood the streets in protest, they'll be forced to change for the better--just like during the civil rights and women's movements.

[metafact]

Russ Feingold is another exception. He was the only Senator to vote against the PATRIOT ACT when it was first proposed.

[coffeebeaner]

I want to move to Australia.

Example 1: THE PATRIOT ACT! This was rammed through Congress right after 9-11, very few opposed it, most of them didn't even f*cking READ it (Dennis Kucinich being an exception), the government said "trust us", we bought into their BS and now we're stuck in 2 wars without end, our constitutional rights are being taken away and most people don't even realize it, or could care less. Conclusion: the American public, for their ignorance, deserve to inherit this mess that Bush and Co. have made!
