Nominated for an Academy Award and widely considered one of the most important political films ever made, THE WAR AT HOME vividly chronicles the anti-war protest movement of the 1960's and '70's. The film provides an illuminating look at the home front of the Vietnam War the war that students and other anti-war dissidents waged on America's political system, military and notions of patriotism.
Through a powerful combination of rare archival footage and interviews with students, community leaders, Vietnam veterans and participants from all points of view, THE WAR AT HOME shows how the anti-war movement grew into a genuine people's revolt in tandem with the escalation of the war in Vietnam.

BK-WIAR
by General Smedley Butler 80 pages
This is the anti-war classic of all time. Written over seventy years ago by General Smedley Butler, who is still the most highly-decorated U.S. Marine in American history, This frank book shows how U.S. war effiorts are animated and druven by big business iunterests, then as today. This extarordinary argument against war is more relevant today than ever. It remains the basic primer for all to read, about why war in general, and specific wars must be opposed. Coming as it does from the perspective of a brave and highly honored warrior, he is a source whom pro-military, pro-war readers will at least read, and may even find themselves agreeing with. A powerful, timeless document.

DVD: The Panama Deception
$27.00 $20.00 On Sale!
DVD-PD
Directed by Barbara Trent & David Kaspar 1993 Academy Award winner Best Documentary 97 minutes released on DVD Sept. 2007
"No matter what your political leanings may be, this film should be considered mandatory viewing." Seattle Times
Made all the more timely by recent U.S. invasions and the current "war on terror," this riveting classic expose has been called "tough, provocative, highly opinionated...an answer to the official U.S. government line about the 1989 invasion of Panama." (N.Y. Times) This Director's Cut features 80 minutes of bonus features. Young people in their twenties and younger, who don't remember this, need to learn about it, to understand the recent, bloody history of recent U.S. intervention.
Acclaimed filmmakers Trent and Kaspar uncover the real reasons for the internationally condemned attack, revealing Noriega's longstanding relationship with the CIA, ther DEA and George Bush, Sr., and unsparingly point the blame at all involved. Utilizing devastating video footage, expert commentary and eyewitness testimony, the film explores a cover-up hauntingly relevant today, while network news clips and media critics contribute to a staggering analysis of media control and self-censorship used to deceive the American public.

DVD: The End of Suburbia: Oil Depletion & the Collapse of the American Dream
$15.00
DVD-EOS
Directed by Gregory Greene Hosted by Barrie Zwicker 78 minutes
Since World War II North Americans have invested much of their newfound wealth in suburbia. It has promised a sense of space, affordability, family life and upward mobility. A the population of suburban sprawl has exploded in the past 50 words, so too the suburban way of life has become embedded in the American consciousness.
Suburbia, and all it promises, has become the American Dream. But as we enter the 21st century, serious questions are beginning to emerge about the sustainability of this way of life. With brutal honesty and a touch of irony, The End of Suburbia explores the American Way of Life and its prospects as the planet approaches a critical era, as global demand for fossil fuels begins to outstrip supply. World Oil Peak and the inevitable decline of fossil fuels are upon us now, some scientists and policy makers argue in this documentary. The consequences of inaction in the face of this global crisis are enormous. What does Oil Peak mean for North America? As energy prices skyrocket in the coming years, how will the populations of suburbia react to the collapse of their dream? Are today's suburbs destined to become the slums of tomorrow? And what can be done now, individually and collectively, to avoid The End of Suburbia? The DVD includes:
The vintage short films "In The Suburbs" and "Destination Earth"
A 12 page Resource Guide booklet with Tips for Public Screenings; "Relocalize Now!"; What To Do Next; Interviews with The End of Suburbia experts; Recommended reading; How to get involved.

DVD: The Wave (TV drama version)
$25.00
DVD-TWTV
44 minutes 1981 This is the made-for-TV version adapted from the true incident in history teacher Ron Jones' Palo Alto, California high school classroom in 1967. (the DVD case mistakenly says 1969). It is the dramatization that millions of people have seen. This dramatization was directed by Alexander Grasshoff, and produced for television by Norman Lear. It aired nationally in 1981. The powerful forces of group pressure that lead to a totalitarian mindset grew out-of-control in the classroom experiment known as "The Wave." After all the years since it was made, this is still a valuable lesson for students to see and learn. A novel was adapted from the TV script.
Also see "The Wave - Ron Jones Stories" to hear the story told for the first time, first hand, before a live audience in 1996, by the teacher who created it in his classroom, 29 years after it happened. (1 hour) Both films, together make a profound presentation, over two or more days (total time: 1:44)

Featuring acclaimed author and Hollywood film consultant Dr. Jack Shaheen, the documentary exposes America's long love affair with Arab villainy and buffoonery, from over-sexed Bedouin bandits and submissive maidens to sinister sheikhs and blood-thirsty terrorists. Along the way, the film provides striking insights into the origin of these images, their disturbing similarities to anti-Semitic and racist stereotypes from the past, and their political resonance during key moments of conflict in U.S. history...

Poster: We Will Not Be Silent!/Sophie Scholl

P-WWNBS
11" x 17" poster 2008 Ivory cover stock
The text is from the first of six leaflets written and clandestinely mimeographed inside Nazi Germany in 1942-43 by University of Munich students who called their secret group The White Rose. Photograph of Sophie Scholl probably taken by a friend, circa 1940-42. The fliers were an appeal to conscience and a rallying call to the German people to defy Hitler and Nazism. Such views were considered treasonous by the government, punishable by imprisonment and death. The White Rose secretly mailed the fliers to names and addresses they found in the telephone directories of other German cities. Sophie and her brother Hans Scholl were courageous activists at a time and place where no one dared to speak against the Fuehrer or the Nazi totalitarian terror state. Their courage will never be forgotten. See also the DVD, "Sophie Scholl: the Final Days" (item code: DVD-SS) in our DVD/Video section.

High school students hate history. When they list their favorite subjects, history always comes in last. They consider it the most irrelevant of twenty-one school subjects; bo-o-o-ring is the adjective most often applied. James Loewen spent two years at the Smithsonian Institute surveying twelve leading high school textbooks of American history. What he found was an embarrassing amalgam of bland optimism, blind patriotism, and misinformation pure and simple, weighing in at an average of four-and-a-half pounds and 888 pages.

In "Give Me Liberty," bestselling author Naomi Wolf shows the breathtaking changes that can take place when ordinary citizens engage in the democratic system the way the founders intended and tells how to use that system, right now, to change your life, your community and, ulimately, the nation.

Bumpersticker: There can be no victory in a war which never should have been fought
$3.00 $2.50 On Sale!
S-TCB
A local carpenter here in town, let's just call him "Joe the carpenter," came to us to make this bumpersticker for him. It's a powerful truth about a bitter lesson we as a nation seem unable or unwilling to learn, so we become more entrenched, more blinded by a policy built on lies, with each additional death and injury. We haven't seen as potent away of saying it on a sticker anywhere else.
