Imperial Ambitions: Conversations with Noam Chomsky on the Post 9/11 World is a useful collection of nine brief interviews between Chomsky's and his regular interviewer David Barsamian (Barsamian, of Alternative Radio, has been "working with him" for more than twenty years according to his very brief introduction; and see e.g. Class Warfare; Secrets, Lies and Democracy; The Common Good; Propaganda and the Public Mind etc). These conversations took place between March 2003 and February 2005 ("mostly conducted in Chomsky's office at MIT") and in them Chomsky and Barsamian discuss the usual: US foreign policy in a post-9/11 world; the 2004 US presidential campaign and election; the future of Social Security (in the US); the increasing threat of global warming; the dangers arising out of the war in/against Iraq; and the difficulties of developing an "ongoing, living, democratic culture" to counter such things. In addition, we get -- amongst many other titbits -- a brief glimpse into Chomsky's childhood, his relationship with his father, and his political education.

sugar slaves (brazil/brasil)

Sugar Slaves (Brazil, 2006) is a documentary about labour conditions on Brazilian sugar plantations. Directed by Maria Luisa Mendonça, produced by Rede Social www.social.org.br





the price of sugar (documentary)

Description: On the Caribbean island of the Dominican Republic, tourists flock to pristine beaches, with little knowledge that a few miles away thousands of dispossessed Haitians are under armed guard on plantations harvesting sugarcane, most of which ends up in US kitchens. Cutting cane by machete, they work 14 hour days, 7 days a week, frequently without access to decent housing, electricity, clean water, education, healthcare or adequate nutrition. The Price of Sugar follows a charismatic Spanish priest, Father Christopher Hartley, as he organizes some of this hemisphere's poorest people, challenging the powerful interests profiting from their work. This film raises key questions about where the products we consume originate, at what human cost they are produced and ultimately, where our responsibility lies.

Audio: Mainly English, some Spanish.
