From the playlist : Manifesto for Interventionist Media - because Art is a Hammer Manifesto Point # 1: The original project idea and goals come from the community partner. Kanehsatake 270 Years of Resistance is arguably Alanis Obomsawin's most important film, documenting the military 1990 siege of a Mohawk reserve near Oka, Quebec, and its causes. I chose this film here because the celebrated Abenaki filmmaker told me recently: "For me a real documentary is when you are really listening to somebody.
They are the ones that tell you what the story is. Not you. " Alanis said these words in the short the film I made about her, called Dream Magic (2008). I actually first saw Alanis in person behind the barricades at the Oka Crisis, back in 1990. . — Katerina Cizek. Blog - The Streamy Awards. Staff Picks.

The people that started the experiment thought, ‘We’ll end up with heaven on earth.’” —Paul “Pete” Rosenblum In the mid-1920s, thousands of immigrant Jewish garment workers catapulted themselves out of the urban slums and ghettos by pooling their resources and building cooperatively owned and run apartment complexes in the Bronx. Adjacent to the newly opened subway corridor and in the midst of empty fields, they constructed the United Workers Cooperative Colony, a.k.a. “the Coops,” where they practiced the utopian ideals of an equitable and just society. AT HOME IN UTOPIA captures their epic struggle across two generations as the Coops residents experiment with breaking down barriers of race and ethnicity, and championing radical ideas that would someday transform the American workplace.
But after World War II, amidst growing anti-communist sentiment and McCarthyism, their utopian dreams began to unravel. Share your thoughts on the film in Talkback >>
