"...überall, wo finanziell klamme Kommunen nach Entlastung suchen, klopfen die weltgrößten Wasserkonzerne Veolia und Suez an die Tür. Innerhalb der letzten 10 Jahre hat allein Veolia es geschafft,  nach eigenen Angaben in 450 deutschen Städten die Wasserversorgung zu übernehmen oder an ihr beteiligt zu werden. Mittlerweile ist der französische Konzern incl. seiner Beteiligungen im Trink- und Abwasserbereich etwa gleichauf mit Gelsenwasser der größte Versorger in Deutschland. Ähnliche Expansionserfolge sind in Polen, den Baltischen Republiken, Lettland, Estland, Litauen, der Tschechische Republik, der Slowakei, Rumänien, Italien, Spanien, den USA und nun auch in China zu verzeichnen, wo Veolia laufend die Unterschrift neuer Verträge verkündet. Wenn in Kalifornien Wasserknappheit droht, empfängt Schwarzenegger Veolias Vorstandsvorsitzender Henri Proglio. Derselbe ist auch  für Chinas Präsident die erste Adresse, wenn das aufstrebende Land ein 100 Mrd.$ Programm zur Erneuerung der Abwasserversorgung auflegt. Bereits in mindestens 69 Ländern auf allen fünf Kontinenten sind Veolia und Suez präsent - ist das der unaufhaltsame Aufstieg zweier Wassergiganten zur weltweiten Hegemonialmacht einer privatisierten Wasserversorgung?"

"In their heyday, the Fab Five were widely portrayed as the root of all evil in college sports. They wore baggy shorts and black socks. They blasted hip-hop music in the locker room. They talked trash. A lot. Those types of uniforms and behavior might be commonplace today, but 20 years ago it was revolutionary, polarizing and heavily influential to a generation of young athletes. Although the Fab Five never got into serious trouble off the court, the players symbolized to many people a clear shift in the sports world and youth culture. Fans of all races and demographics spent millions of dollars on Michigan jerseys, shorts and the like, trying to capture a tiny slice of the group's mystique. By the end of their second year together, the Fab Five were routinely battered in the national media for the way they carried themselves. Articles and television reports painted them as brash villains or worse -- as thugs. Now, two decades later, Rose, Jackson, King and Howard have come together in ESPN's "Fab Five" documentary to tell the inside story of the freshman class that was feted as rock stars. Notably absent is Webber, the No. 1 recruit from the Class of '91, who isn't yet willing to discuss two sticky subjects: the payment scandal, which led to legal problems for Webber and the removal of the Fab Five's banners from Crisler Arena, and the infamous timeout gaffe at the end of the 1993 national championship game."  

"Another State of Mind is a documentary film made in the summer of 1982 chronicling the adventure (and misadventure) of two punk bands – Social Distortion and Youth Brigade – as they embark on their first international tour."

The Kalis series finally begins. Right off the bat, Josh clears up a few issues for everybody and we get right into things with how it all got started in Grand Rapids. Sean Sheffey appears and lets us know that Josh has always been a well respected skater, and Mike Blabac recalls when Josh helped him learn how to use his camera. Ted Lee provided the archival footage of a young Kalis, and if there had been more time we would have loved to show more of Ted’s incredible old footage that includes a New Deal demo with Ed Templeton and Mike Vallely. Enjoy.

"1991: The Year Punk Broke is a 1992 documentary directed by Dave Markey featuring American alternative rock band Sonic Youth on tour in Europe in 1991.

"'Inside Job' provides a comprehensive analysis of the global financial crisis of 2008, which at a cost over $20 trillion, caused millions of people to lose their jobs and homes in the worst recession since the Great Depression, and nearly resulted in a global financial collapse. Through exhaustive research and extensive interviews with key financial insiders, politicians, journalists, and academics, the film traces the rise of a rogue industry which has corrupted politics, regulation, and academia. It was made on location in the United States, Iceland, England, France, Singapore, and China."
