Date: 1/1/1996Call Number: V 117Format: VHSProducers: National Labor CommitteeCollection: Videos in many formats – both camera originals as well as reference materials
Mickey Mouse Goes to Haiti, by the National Labor Committee, 275 7th Ave., 15th floor, New York, NY 10001. 212-242-3002. Approximately 20 minutes. Depictions of working and living conditions of Disney workers in Haiti. Responds effectively to the argument that it's OK to pay workers in poor countries less because it costs less to live. (The National Labor Committee also distributes "Zoned for Slavery," focusing on conditions for GAP sweatshop workers in Central America, which I have not seen, but which has gotten excellent reviews from other teachers. It includes extensive interviews with young workers and family members who describe the impact sweatshop labor has on their lives.)

The Tashunka Witro Brigade Show, “Black August”
Date: 8/25/2001Call Number: PM 243Format: CassetteProgram: Tashunka Witro Brigade ShowCollection: Black August Resistance
Part I
This was a broadcast on KPOO 89.5 FM. The title of the episode was "Black August." The producers examine the definition of political prisoners and prisoners of war. With the definitions, they explore the different political prisoners in our American prison system and the suppression of these revolutionaries' vision and influence in history and society. The focus is primarily on the prison system's agenda against people of color, Hispanics, and Native American people to silence their revolutionary example. The prison Pelican Bay is defined as a tomb to silence revolutionaries and eliminate resistance. Black August, a celebration of resistance and determination in memory of freedom fighters that rebelled against the California prison system, is also acknowledged. Black August also represents self-discipline, change, love, peace, freedom, and life. Black August continues to be a time of severe lockdown to prevent prisoner resistance and revival. The producers analyze the oppression and murders of indigenous people and Latinos, along with the political repression that people of color face. The vision and dismantlement of the Muslim activist and the Islamic movement is addressed as well. The stories of revolutionaries such as Alvarro Nuna Hernandez, Jonathan Jackson, Katari Golden, George Jackson, Romaine Chip Fitzgerald, El Mahn Jahmeel, and El Hajj Malik Shabazz are told in relation to their roles as political prisoners. The political prisoners are honored as a fighting spirit within the prison system.
