Trading Freedom: the secret life of the FTAA
Recent Video by indymedia ftaa video workgroup
Produced October 2002, 56 minutes, english or with english subtitles

We are very pleased to announce that rough cut copies of our documentary on the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) are now available on the web. It's called "Trading Freedom: the secret life of the FTAA", and it offers an explanation of what the FTAA is, what it will mean, and how people across the Americas are resisting it.

This one's got it all - indigenous struggles, working-class resistance, women vs. the FTAA, Your Biotech Future, media activism, the NAFTA Chapter 11 investor-state dispute settlement mechanism, and the ever-popular "state repression of dissent" (coming soon to to a town near you). Footage from Akwesasne, Chiapas, Quebec City, Sao Paulo, and Tijuana, plus the combined efforts of over 100 videographers, photographers, free radio outlaws, writers, editors, techs, and rabble-rousers make this the perfect vid for your local anti-FTAA event. With implementation of the accord only a few years away, time is running out.

9.11
Produced September 2001, 28 minutes, English or Spanish or Italian
9.11 listens to the voices of New York City in mourning, a city coming to terms with the aftermath of events on September 11th and the potential violence of a protracted war. NYC residents respond to the tragedy with spontaneous memorials, public sites of grief and discourse where the transformation of mourning into a mobilization for peace and justice begin to emerge. 9.11 culminates with the first NYC peace march as the voices of the emergent peace movement begins to coalesce with broader globalization movement seeking economic and social justice. 9.11 offers initial critical perspectives of U.S. policy leading up to the World Trade Center attack, necessary to constructing an informed and rationalized response. The video also documents the media treatment and racial backlash against Arab-Americans and how those communities are responding.

Produced for the Independent Media Center with efforts of the NYC-IMC, Paper Tiger TV and Big Noise Tactical. Made entirely in NYC in the days following September 11th, completed and satellitecast on September 26th.

Translations made for Spanish, Italian and German.

This is What Democracy Looks Like
Produced May 2000, 70 minute, English or Spanish
At the WTO protests in Seattle, we had a collective vision. We saw beyond the borders that divide us. We saw people come together across every kind of political and cultural difference and stand up in a way that we have not seen in this country for decades. We saw peaceful protests shut down one of the most powerful institutions in the world and we saw a system dazed and frightened by the sound of our voices.

A co-production of the Independent Media Center and Big Noise Films, THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE is 72-minute documentary capturing the events of the 1999 anti-WTO protests in Seattle. Edited from the footage of over 100 video activists, the film marks a turning point in collaborative filmmaking and achieves a scope and vision possible only through the lenses of 100 cameras. With a driving soundtrack by Rage Against the Machine, DJ Shadow, and Cypher Ad, and narration by Susan Sarandon and Michael Franti, THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE delivers an intensely political and emotional account of a week that changed the world.

Criminalization of Dissent
Produced October 2001,7 min.
In an effort to chronicle the increasing levels of political repression and police brutality encountered by the nascent anti-globalization movement, NYC IMC journalists interviewed members of the ACLU, and several veteran social justice activists as well as victims of state violence from Philadelphia to Prague. Issues explored include, how activists are discredited in the media, surveyed, harassed and attacked in a concerted effort to discourage and criminalize dissent both in America and globally. We feel this is an increasingly relevant subject given the reams of "anti-terrorist" legislation passed in the wake of the September 11th attacks, that will specifically target and criminalize all forms of civil disobedience, freedom of expression and critical political dissent.

Produced by the NYC-IMC
