1 Wage Theft: The Crime Wave No One Talks About 2 Phil Ochs Documentary: There But for Fortune 3 Emmanuel Jal - We Want Peace 4 Captain SKA - Liar Liar ===== 11111 Wage Theft: The Crime Wave No One Talks About A video about the national crisis of wage theft -- a crime wave that every year robs millions of workers out of billions of dollars they've worked for but never seen -- featuring interviews with staff members of Interfaith Worker Justice (www.iwj.org) and the the Arise Chicago Worker Center (www.arisechicago.org). Produced by Jan Muller. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn6nr2PviIU November 09, 2010 4:53 ===== 22222 There But for Fortune: Life of a Rebel As our country continues to embroil itself in foreign wars and pins its hopes on a new leader's promise for change, Phil Ochs: There But For Fortune is a timely and relevant tribute to an unlikely American hero. Over the course of a meteoric music career that spanned two turbulent decades, Phil Ochs sought the bright lights of fame and social justice in equal measure - a contradiction that eventually tore him apart. From youthful idealism to rage to pessimism, the arch of Ochs' life paralleled that of the times, and the anger, satire and righteous indignation that drove his music also drove him to dark despair. In this brilliantly constructed film, interview and performance footage of Ochs is illuminated by the ruminations of Joan Baez, Tom Hayden, Pete Seeger, Sean Penn, Peter Yarrow, Christopher Hitchens, Ed Sanders, and others.
