Imagine the opportunity to show in a film a way of life that few know and able to inspire so many people!
Dreams, art, poetry, cooperation, freedom, revolution, detachment, equality, struggles ... Feelings and actions that are often repressed because of pre-established social standards, but they are intensely experienced by men and women who don a backpack and hit the road.
But who are they? How do they live? What do they believe?
The film "Malucos de Estrada: the reformation of the hippie movement in Brazil" is an unpublished initiative that seeks to enlighten society about the richness of this cultural universe of values and put up for discussion the current process of repression that the artisans are suffering.
The urgency and importance in shedding light on this culture is that their survival and integrity are seriously threatened by social invisibility and by some misunderstanding on the part of public officials about this reality.
We believe that this documentary will be the starting point for the broad recognition of the road freak as specific cultural manifestation. This is a film released on the internet with free access in order that it become a product of society.
This movement is primarily a struggle that we may actually live in a democratic society that coexists with different views, interests and knowledge, maximizing the collective well-being.

The Occupy Movement recently celebrated its second anniversary with very little fanfare leaving many to wonder where all the activists went. It seems they, and many anti-establishment activists, are vacating the system rather than occupying it.

Now available on iTunes, American Autumn compiled experiences from New York City, Boston, and Washington, DC, in an effort to answer two questions: What does the Occupy movement stand for?

“Narrated by Lou Reed, this doc looks at the wide swath of the population burned by the economic crisis, from a 22-year-old college graduate to a 92-year-old grandmother, from a Marine veteran to a police captain. They discuss issues like health care, education, the environment, income inequality, and unemployment. Economist Jeffrey Sachs ties it all together and shows what steps could be taken to creative a sustainable future for all.

Infrastructure resources are the subject of many contentious public policy debates, including what to do about crumbling roads and bridges, whether and how to protect our natural environment, energy policy, even patent law reform, universal health care, network neutrality regulation and the future of the Internet. Brett Frischmann — professor at Cardozo Law School and author of the new book "Infrastructure: The Social Value of Shared Resources" — discusses how society benefits from infrastructure resources and how decisions about how infrastructure is managed can affect everyone.
In this video from Ericsson, the premise is this: if you change the way that the world is networked and allow for ways that those in third world countries can have access to proper financial infrastructure, they’ll be able to help themselves and thus help society in general. It’s a very noble concept. We’re not sure if it would work, but it makes for a nice 16 minute video.

“What does it mean to build a new production process that is decentralized, local and open for everyone? How will this new form of production (from supply chain to workers, from facilities to infrastructures) emerge? What are the major signs that this will be possible? And the major constraints?
“In 1991, Cuba’s economy began to implode. “The Special Period in the Time of Peace” was the government’s euphemism for what was a culmination of 30 years worth of isolation. It began in the 60s, with engineers leaving Cuba for America. Ernesto Oroza, a designer and artist, studied the innovations created during this period. He found that the general population had created homespun, Frankenstein-like machines for their survival, made from everyday objects. Oroza began to collect these machines, and would later contextualize it as “art” in a movement he dubbed “Technological Disobedience.”

“Best Before: the London Food Revolution is a short documentary about rising food prices and an impending food crisis in the UK. In London, a handful of supermarkets dominate the market, an incredible amount food food is wasted everyday, and fresh, healthy food has become the privilege of the wealthy, while those worse-off have access to low quality, fatty and sugar-rich food. But London is also the city where community organisations are shaping alternatives. From city farms to roof gardens, farmers’ markets to food cooperatives, Londoners are taking matters into their own hands. Best Before follows the people who are taking back control of food production in the UK and providing an alternative more sustainable, ecological and socially just food system.”
