[2008], Distributed by Scorpio East Entertainment Pte Ltd. Call No: DVD 338.1 Foo Availability:2 of 2 At Location(s) Summary Note: "You are what you eat. It is a simple expression that bears scary implications as you watch the acclaimed documentary Food, Inc. Director Robert Kenner draws upon the searing reportage of authors Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma) to explore how modern developments in food production pose grave risks to our health and environment. These writers aren't radicals or even vegetarians (Schlosser admits that his favourite meal is a hamburger and fries), but they are crusaders when it comes to exposing problems and naming offenders. There are stories of heartbreak and outrage, but the film carefully channels these emotions towards opportunities for activism. Watching Food, Inc. gives you a strong appetite for better meals."--distributor's website.

-- Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papersc2009., Kovno Communications Call No: DVD 959.704 ELL Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: Daniel Ellsberg was an unlikely rebel. As a brilliant tactician, Harvard graduate, and committed Cold Warrior, he played a crucial role in mapping out the American strategy in Vietnam, even living in Vietnam to see firsthand how the war was going. The more Ellsberg learned about American involvement in Southeast Asia, the more violently disillusioned he became, because he was charged with trying to win what he came to see as an unwinnable war. The proud hawk became a passionate dove, setting the stage to become one of the highest-profile whistle-blowers in American history, for leaking the "Pentagon Papers" (a massive set of classified documents detailing the Pentagon's botch of the war and the bogus grounds under which it was fought) to the New York Times. Thus was Daniel Ellsberg transformed, into a firebrand radical committed to ending the war by any means necessary, even if it meant spending the rest of his life in jail.
