This month, on Laura Flanders & Friends, we turn to the state of journalism—at a moment of deep disruption, consolidation, and consequence. But journalists aren't simply standing by—they're pushing back, reimagining their work, and, in many cases, taking matters into their own hands. This week we'll hear from the long-running independent collective Third World Newsreel, still thriving in an era some are calling “media carnage,” showing what it looks like to endure—and to resist. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: It's almost unheard of for an independent media collective to survive as long as Third World Newsreel has. Since 1968, they have chronicled some of the most pivotal movements in human history and continue to expand on their collection of over 700 titles. There's lots to learn about how they've adapted through technological revolutions, political persecutions, philanthropic booms and busts — and how the oldest media arts collective in the U.S. is making do in today's “media carnage”, as Laura Flanders puts it. Joining us are JT Takagi, an independent filmmaker, sound recordist, and the longtime executive director of Third World Newsreel. Tami Gold is an artist and activist whose documentaries grapple with everything from imperialism to sex work. Her films include My Country Occupied, Another Brother and Land Rain Fire among many more. Puerto Rican-born Juan Carlos Dávila works in film as well as TV, where he reports on social movements around environmentalism, militarism and the struggles of the working class on the island. His films include The Stand-By Generation, Viequez: An Endless Battle and Drills of Liberation. Join us as we look at the past, present and future of Third World Newsreel and ask how film can be used as a tool for organizing. “I'd say we feel more urgent now than ever before. Every day there's something happening that makes it clear that our rights and liberties, and people's lives all over the world are at stake. Not being in touch with the history and media that shows the truth of what's going on is really decimating people's ability to, as Juan said, know what to follow and what to do.” - JT Takagi “We need to retake the theater, the physical space that is being ignored by the corporations. Perhaps now that is the opportunity that we have . . . A theater is being rented by people who are organizers, and they're using their collective spirit and know-how to organize huge, huge crowds to come.” - Tami Gold “People can shoot stuff with the phone . . . I see a lot in Puerto Rico that people are still wanting to produce with the corporate industry standards. Many young filmmakers like myself tend to think that we need so many personnel to be doing films. Right now we can actually make films with less.” - Juan Carlos Dávila Guests: • Juan Carlos Dávila: Documentary Filmmaker, Multimedia Journalist, Puerto Rico Correspondent, Democracy Now! • Tami Gold: Filmmaker, Artist, Activist • JT Takagi: Executive Director, Third World Newsreel Watch on YouTube this episode that includes video clips referenced in this episode from Third World Newsreel; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Amid the tumult of change that swept through French society in the wake of World War II, a trio of visionary filmmakers sought to make meaning of the chaos by revitalizing a common method: montage. Revealing Nicole Védrès, Alain Resnais, and Chris Marker as more than just groundbreaking auteurs, Ivan Cerecina shows how their collective infusion of montage with avant-garde aesthetics renewed the art of cinema while helping France reckon with its past and imagine its future. Cerecina's book Assembly Lines is a call to action today as contemporary crises prompt reevaluation of our cultural histories. Here, Cerecina is in conversation with James Leo Cahill.Ivan Cerecina teaches film studies at The University of Sydney. He is author ofAssembly Lines: Montage in Postwar French Film, and his work has been published in Screen, Camera Obscura, and Framework.James Leo Cahill is associate professor of cinema and French literature at the University of Toronto. Cahill is author of Zoological Surrealism: The Nonhuman Cinema of Jean Painlevé and general editor of Discourse: Journal for Theoretical Studies in Media and Culture.REFERENCES/PEOPLE:Nicole VedrèsAlain ResnaisChris MarkerSergei EisensteinDziga VertovHenri LangloisAndré MalrauxWalter BenjaminREFERENCES/FILM:Paris 1900 (Nicole Vedrès)La Vie commence demain (Nicole Vedrès)Guernica (Alain Resnais)OTHER REFERENCES:Steve Ungar / Critical Mass: Social Documentary in France from the Silent Era to the New WaveAndré Bazin, “On Why We Fight: History, Documentation, and the Newsreel,” in Bazin at Work.Laure Astourian / The Ethnographic Optic: Jean Rouch, Chris Marker, Alain Resnais and the Turn Inward in 1960s French CinemaAssembly Lines: Montage in Postwar French Film by Ivan Cerecina and Zoological Surrealism: The Nonhuman Cinema of Jean Painlevé are available from University of Minnesota Press.

In 1961 the United States launched the largest covert operation of the Cold War against a single country, a campaign of sabotage, terror, and assassination aimed at destroying the Cuban Revolution ninety miles from Florida. It was code-named Operation Mongoose. Alongside it, the Joint Chiefs of Staff drew up Operation Northwoods, a plan to stage terrorist attacks on American citizens and blame them on Havana in order to manufacture a pretext for a full-scale invasion.In this episode we take a deep dive into how Mongoose and Northwoods were conceived and authorized at the highest levels of the US government and how the embargo and regime change logic still operate today.This is part of the first season of Socialist History, our new series on The Socialist Program. In each episode we unpack a different CIA or Pentagon operation, each of which was given its own code-name as Operation Mongoose was.Join The Socialist Program community at www.patreon.com/thesocialistprogram to get access to the next episodes in this series, more exclusive content, and help keep this show on the air.Archival notes:1:10 - Newsreel on Cuban Revolution (1958)1:29 - Newsreel on nationalization of Cuban industries (1960)1:49 - Interview with Jorge Risquet, Cuban Revolutionary Army Captain.

Most empires never write their plans down, but the American empire did. In 1950 a top-secret government document called NSC-68 laid out the blueprint for permanent war: a militarized economy, a nuclear buildup without limit, and a posture of global confrontation that would outlast the men who wrote it. It is the founding doctrine beneath every operation in this series.In this episode we take a deep dive into how NSC-68 was written and by whom, and its role in shaping the trillion-dollar war economy still running today.This is part of the first season of Socialist History, our new series on The Socialist Program. In each episode we unpack a different CIA or Pentagon operation or document that shaped US imperialism.Join The Socialist Program community at www.patreon.com/thesocialistprogram to get access to the next episodes in this series, more exclusive content, and help keep this show on the air.Archival notes:0:10 - Alex Jones, host of Infowars (2017)0:16 - Pres.

In 1959 the US Army began building a base beneath the Greenland ice sheet, presented to the press, to Congress, and to the Danish government as a scientific research station. This was a cover story. The real plan, code-named Project Iceworm, was to bury a network of tunnels housing up to 600 nuclear missiles under the ice, invisible to Soviet satellites, on land taken from Indigenous people who were never consulted, in a country that had declared itself nuclear-free.In this episode we take a deep dive into the breathtaking scale of the classified plan, why the moving ice ultimately defeated it, the radioactive waste left behind, the straight line to Trump's push to take Greenland today, and more.This is part of the first season of Socialist History, our new series on The Socialist Program. In each episode we unpack a different CIA or Pentagon operation, each of which was given its own code-name as Project Iceworm was.This is a preview of this episode.

Care More Be Better: Social Impact, Sustainability + Regeneration Now
In honor of Juneteenth, we're sharing something special: the opening chapter of Reimagining Democracy for a Good Life, the podcast hosted by legendary equity advocate Angela Glover Blackwell, founder in residence of PolicyLink. In "Democracy Dreaming," Angela takes us to Los Angeles, a city she didn't expect to become a hopeful case study in multiracial democracy, and shows us why it might be exactly that. Featuring voices from LA Mayor Karen Bass, economist Manuel Pastor, Community Coalition CEO Alberto Retana, young housing organizer Tiffany Benitez, advocate Denise Fairchild, and the poetry of Chinaka Hodge, this episode reframes democracy not as something we have, but as something we practice. Angela's second season is coming soon, and we're thrilled to share that we'll be sitting down with Angela herself in early July, with that conversation releasing later next month.

Synopsis: Surviving and Thriving in Turbulent Times Third World Newsreel's Enduring Legacy This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: It's almost unheard of for an independent media collective to survive as long as Third World Newsreel has. Since 1968, they have chronicled some of the most pivotal movements in human history and continue to expand on their collection of over 700 titles. There's lots to learn about how they've adapted through technological revolutions, political persecutions, philanthropic booms and busts — and how the oldest media arts collective in the U.S. is making do in today's “media carnage”, as Laura Flanders puts it. Joining us are JT Takagi, an independent filmmaker, sound recordist, and the longtime executive director of Third World Newsreel. Tami Gold is an artist and activist whose documentaries grapple with everything from imperialism to sex work. Her films include My Country Occupied, Another Brother and Land Rain Fire among many more. Puerto Rican-born Juan Carlos Dávila works in film as well as TV, where he reports on social movements around environmentalism, militarism and the struggles of the working class on the island. His films include The Stand-By Generation, Viequez: An Endless Battle and Drills of Liberation. Join us as we look at the past, present and future of Third World Newsreel and ask how film can be used as a tool for organizing. “I'd say we feel more urgent now than ever before. Every day there's something happening that makes it clear that our rights and liberties, and people's lives all over the world are at stake. Not being in touch with the history and media that shows the truth of what's going on is really decimating people's ability to, as Juan said, know what to follow and what to do.” - JT Takagi “We need to retake the theater, the physical space that is being ignored by the corporations. Perhaps now that is the opportunity that we have . . . A theater is being rented by people who are organizers, and they're using their collective spirit and know-how to organize huge, huge crowds to come.” - Tami Gold “People can shoot stuff with the phone . . . I see a lot in Puerto Rico that people are still wanting to produce with the corporate industry standards. Many young filmmakers like myself tend to think that we need so many personnel to be doing films. Right now we can actually make films with less.” - Juan Carlos Dávila Guests: • Juan Carlos Dávila: Documentary Filmmaker, Multimedia Journalist, Puerto Rico Correspondent, Democracy Now! • Tami Gold: Filmmaker, Artist, Activist • JT Takagi: Executive Director, Third World Newsreel Watch on YouTube this episode that includes video clips referenced in this episode from Third World Newsreel; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

This episode covers the next part of chapter 30 from: “One day I entered a cinema house to view a newsreel...” to “... I looked up to the throbbing stream of lifetrons and spoke entreatingly. " Summary: This section of the book Paramahansa Yogananda focuses on the concept of life as a motion picture and using his experiences with visions of war and suffering. We explore the philosophical implications of viewing the world as an illusion, including how this perspective can affect one's compassion and understanding of suffering. We also study Guruji's profound meditation experiences, where he saw his physical form transform into light and felt a sense of weightlessness. 0:00 Prior Episode; 2.09 Newsreel vision; 11:00 Teaching on Maya; 19:30 Understanding Maya;; 22:50 The Cosmic Light; 34:42 Looking Ahead.

Universal Newsreel Audio 1945-12-10 - Christmas Brings Joy To Everyone
News is broken — but is the problem the content, or the design?Jack Brewster, former Forbes journalist and founder of Newsreel, joins host Khudania Ajay (KAJ) to explore how technology, attention, and trust are reshaping the way we consume news. From TikTok to traditional outlets, discover how journalism can be rebuilt for a generation that scrolls faster than ever.In this conversation, we cover:Why traditional news is losing audience attentionHow trust and transparency are becoming the currency of journalismThe role of TikTok, YouTube, and algorithms in shaping public informationInnovative approaches to redesigning news for the modern ageIf media is the nervous system of society, what happens when it fails — and how can it be fixed?▶ Watch to understand the future of journalism and why saving the news matters for democracy.
In the first part of this week's show we spoke with Peter Sterne of City & State about the state of the mayor's race with one week to election day and three days of early voting already completed. Voter turnout in the first three days of early voting in the NYC mayoral race was greater than the turnout in all nine days of early voting in 2021. Older voters are leading this surge, buoying the hopes of Andrew Cuomo and prompting concerned emails from frontrunner Zohran Mamdani's campaign to its supporters. On this week's Indypendent News Hour we spoke with Peter Sterne of City & State about the state of the race and whether Mamdani's supporters have cause to be alarmed. In the second half of the show, we'll heard from JT Takagi, director of Third World Newsreel, about an upcoming retrospective of some of the group's most iconic work from the late 1960s and early 1970s – another era where young people's dreams of forging a more just world crashed against a system that didn't want to change.
Beginning on November 12 at BAM, Third World Newsreel will screen some of the group's most iconic work from the late 1960s and early 1970s – another era where young people's dreams of forging a more just world crashed against a system that didn't want to change.
When askedabout their preferred platforms for receiving news, approximately one-third ofAmericans (34%) say they prefer television. Only a small percentage preferradio or print, with each garnering 5% of responses. Americanshave diverse preferences when it comes to digital news platforms. About 21% ofU.S. adults prefer getting their news from websites or apps, while 14% favorsocial media. Additionally, 10% prefer using search engines, 6% opt forpodcasts, and 3% prefer email newsletters. Fewer than 1% select AI chatbots astheir preferred source for news. According to a recent Pew Research survey. JackBrewster, the founder and CEO of Newsreel, is leading the charge in redefininghow we consume news. With a background as a journalist for Forbes andNewsGuard, as well as a Fulbright researcher focused on the effects of theinternet on our thinking, Jack aims to make news simple, engaging, andunmissable. Over thepast decade, he has pondered a critical question: What if the way we consumenews is not only broken but purposefully designed to fail us? After researchingmisinformation, online extremism, and AI-generated content at NewsGuard andForbes, Jack created Newsreel—an app that reimagines news for those who havetuned out traditional forms of media. Imagine a combination of Duolingo and TheNew York Times, featuring interactive timelines, daily briefings, and newstailored to match short attention spans rather than encouraging endlessscrolling. JackBrewster's work has been featured in The New York Times, CNN, and TheWashington Post, and he has appeared on national television numerous times.What distinguishes Jack is that he is not just identifying the problems in newsconsumption; he is actively creating solutions. His work lies at theintersection of media, design, psychology, and technology. For moreinformation, visit: https://newsreel.co/

In this episode, we delve into a captivating narrative titled "Ghost on the Newsreel Negative." As we explore this tale, we are transported back to a time when news was communicated through microfiche and newsreels. The story begins with a discussion about the casual joys of reading, as the narrator enjoys the ironic mix of life and death chronicled in the obituaries and the comedic escapades found in the funny pages. This sets an intriguing tone that invites listeners to gather around as secrets and shadows unfold.As our protagonists, Martin and Whit, embark on their journey to a seemingly abandoned ghost farm, we follow their playful banter that quickly turns into a more complex investigation of supernatural lore. They're on a mission to capture the essence of supposed hauntings for a newsreel, sparking a rich dialogue about skepticism and faith in the supernatural. The backdrop of the ghost farm, with its desolate house and barn, serves as the perfect setting for the unfolding drama. The humorous exchanges continue as they engage with a quirky local who claims he is the ghost, leaving listeners in suspense and laughter.A turning point in the narrative reveals Martin and Whit's trials as they attempt to capture a haunting scene on film. The chaotic and tense atmosphere escalates as comedic errors blend with feelings of fear, particularly as they explore a dark house where a mysterious presence is hinted to exist. The story's tone wavers between thrilling and comedic, engaging listeners in an unpredictable ride as they witness the protagonists' interactions and their failures to document the paranormal effectively.As the episode draws to a close, listeners are compelled to reflect on what truly constitutes a ghost and the deeper connections between reality and the uncanny. The closing conversation brings a sense of warmth, as themes of nostalgia and curiosity intertwine. The listener is left with a lingering sense of wonder about the nature of ghosts and the stories we tell, as the narrator encourages a moment of gratitude and reflection on their own life. This episode not only entertains but also prompts introspection on what we hold dear, wrapping up with an invitation to carry these musings into the night.

The films of Robert Kramer blend fiction and documentary modes to engage with, and expand on, traditions of militant political cinema and subjective essay filmmaking. A founding member of the New Left activist film collective Newsreel in 1967, Kramer devoted himself to the group's radical ethos, but he also began to make his own hermetic and probing fiction films—like The Edge (1967) and Ice (1969)—which turned the camera back onto the mostly white middle-class milieu of his comrades, posing thorny questions about the nature of political commitment. This process reached its peak with the sprawling, 3-hour plus Milestones (1975, co-directed with John Douglas), a vast mosaic featuring a cast of over 50 fellow travelers, union organizers, dropouts, Free Vermont commune dwellers, and more, all navigating the demands of their personal and political lives in the wake of the Vietnam War. At the end of '70s, Kramer decamped to France, where his films had been championed by critics like Serge Daney, and proceeded to work in a wide variety of contexts across Europe and beyond, making films like Guns (1980), Our Nazi (1984), Doc's Kingdom (1988), Route One/USA (1989), and Walk the Walk (1996). Over the past several years, the French DVD company Re:Voir has been beautifully restoring and re-releasing his films, and Kramer, who passed away suddenly in 1999, is currently the subject of a major retrospective at the Viennale, running through the end of November. The retrospective is accompanied by a new book, Starting Places, published by the Austrian Film Museum, which reproduces a 1997 interview with Kramer by the French critic Bernard Eisenchitz alongside several essays written by Kramer himself. To mark the occasion, Film Comment's Clinton Krute and Michael Blair invited Erika Balsom and Benjamin Crais, two noted critics who each proudly own original Milestones posters, to discuss Kramer's life and work. A few short audio clips of Kramer talking about his films, sourced from the original 1997 interview tapes, are interspersed throughout the conversation, providing their own points of departure into this undersung filmmaker's richly heterogenous, and endlessly fascinating, body of work.

At Reed College in 2016, a student group named Reedies Against Racism began protesting the syllabus of the mandatory freshman humanities course and the college's perceived failure to support Black students. After a year of sustained action, the students won the largest-ever revision of Humanities 110—but half a decade on, emotions are still raw. Smarty Pants host Stephanie Bastek graduated from Reed in 2013, and she returned last year to find out how much the culture had really changed.

In 1989, New York City declared itself a sanctuary city — a place where undocumented immigrants seeking asylum are safe from immediate deportation and eligible to receive city services. But living up to that promise is tougher than just passing a law. This year, New York City has received over 100,000 asylum seekers so far, including 15,000 unaccompanied minors. Most are from Latin America, where they face extortion from gangs, robbery, rape and LGBTQ+ persecution. The journey to the U.S. is deadly, but so is life back home. They set out by bus, train, and on foot through forests and the Rio Grande, often with babies and toddlers, to come to the U.S. In this episode of The Laura Flanders Show, produced in collaboration with the School of Labor and Urban Studies at the City University of New York (CUNY), hear the harrowing journeys and hopes of refugees coming to New York City — and the issues they face soon after they arrive — including trouble finding work, shelter, foster care placement, and legal battles. New York City is conflicted about their arrival, politicians say there are too many migrants, and far-Right extremists create a hostile and oftentimes dangerous environment. Stepping in is a growing network of volunteers and nonprofits comprised of social workers and lawyers on the ground and in the courts, who are working to give asylum seekers a welcome, shelter, and legal protection. New York City as we know it would cease to exist without migrants. Here are their stories.[Translated from Spanish] “A lot of the gay people in Guatemala or Central America, they get murdered. They either get killed or they hide their homosexuality by pretending to be someone else. If they do that, they don't get hurt, but if they dress like women, or if they present in a feminine way, they get attacked.” - Eswin “We work with young people who have been raped, who have been tortured, who have been kidnapped — many times on the way from their country to the United States — who've been abandoned, who've been starved. They are coming with the continued desire to thrive in this country despite the trauma that they've endured.” - Angela Fernández“Unaccompanied minors and immigrant children who are working are particularly vulnerable . . . They don't speak the language, they may not know their rights. They may not know what kinds of agencies to go to or where they can get help.” - Terri Gerstein“The people that we're getting are all working-class families. They're decent people . . . We should welcome everybody. We need the help.” - Father James Kelly“The first thing that [migrants] ask is not water, food, it's where can I find work. They don't want handouts. They want to be able to provide for themselves.” - Power Malu[Translated from Spanish] “. . . [Organized crime] began extorting people . . . Where I used to live, they killed a 13-year-old boy and a couple. I left my town of Tulcán. From there to Colombia. And from Colombia, we went through the jungle.” - Lady Mansilla“It's the volunteers that are on the ground receiving people in a respectful and human-centered way, and then they're coordinating access to services for them on a case-by-case basis.” - Jamie Powlovich“Going to foster care is an option that's deemed better for a child because they have the opportunity to live a life that's almost normal because you can go to school, you can have friends, you can go out, which they cannot do in detention. There aren't enough spots in foster care for immigrant children right now.” - Marie-Cassandre WavreGuests:Eswin: Asylum Seeker, EcuadorAngela Fernández: Executive Director, Safe Passage ProjectTerri Gerstein: Harvard Center for Labor & A Just EconomyFather James Kelly: Immigration Attorney, District 3 Immigration ServicesPower Malu: Founder, Artists Athletes ActivistsLady Mansilla: Asylum Seeker, EcuadorJamie Powlovich: Executive Director, Coalition for Homeless YouthMarie-Cassandre Wavre: Supervising Attorney, The Door Full Episode Notes are located HERE.

**SKIP TO 32:24 TO GET TO THE STORY** Marilyn Monroe was one of the most beloved screen actresses of Old Hollywood, but were the mysterious circumstances of her death a coverup for something larger?
