The Creature on the Wing

A mini version of the classic Twilight Zone episode "Nightmare At 20,000 Feet", starring William Shatner and Rod Serling. While on a flight, a recovering mental patient suddenly saw a creature tearing into the airplane's engine. There was something on the wing!

Rick Doblin, Ph.D of MAPS on Psychedelics Research

Rick is the founder (in 1986) and president of MAPS. His dissertation (Public Policy, Harvard's Kennedy School of Government) was on "The Regulation of the Medical Use of Psychedelics and Marijuana," and his master's thesis (Harvard) focused on the attitudes and experiences of oncologists concerning the medical use of marijuana. His undergraduate thesis (New College of Florida) was a twenty-five year follow-up to the classic Good Friday Experiment, which evaluated the potential of psychedelic drugs to catalyze religious experiences. He has also conducted a thirty-four year follow-up study to Tim Leary's Concord Prison experiment.

Doblin has also studied with Stan Grof, M.D., and was in the first group to become certified as holotropic breathwork practitioners. His professional goal is to help develop legal contexts for the beneficial uses of psychedelics and marijuana, primarily as prescription medicines but also for personal growth for otherwise "healthy" people, and to also become a legally licensed psychedelic therapist. He currently resides in Boston with his wife and three young children.

A History of Racism

Part One



Part Two


Part Three

This documentary series chronicles the shifts in the idea of 'race' and the history of racism in Europe, The Americas, Australasia and Asia. These films show how ideas of racial difference have evolved in response to historical events, and identify the profound impact that the idea of 'race', and the fact of racism, has had on science, culture, society and global history. By exploring the history of 'race' - from the early emergence of racial consciousness to the impact of the very latest discoveries in genetics - this series examines the nature of the 'racial landscape' which, for five centuries, has occupied such an important place in the collective imagination of the West.

The Legacy of Robert McNamara

Vietnam War Architect Robert McNamara Dies at 93: A Look at His Legacy With Howard Zinn, Marilyn Young & Jonathan Schell

Former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara has died at the age of 93. McNamara was one of the key architects of the Vietnam war, which killed at least three million Vietnamese, around one million Cambodians and Laotians, and 58,000 American soldiers. We take a look at McNamara’s legacy with two pre-eminent historians: Howard Zinn and Marilyn Young. We also speak with Jonathan Schell, who covered Vietnam as a reporter in 1967 and met with McNamara in a secret Pentagon meeting.

Interview med Michael Hardt

Interview med Michael Hardt at the European Social Forum in Malmo Sweden 21 Deptember 2008. Michael Hardt (born 1960) is an American literary theorist and political philosopher based at Duke University. Perhaps his most famous work (co-written with Antonio Negri) is Empire – which has sometimes been referred to as the "Communist Manifesto of the 21st Century." The sequel to Empire, called Multitude: War and Democracy in the Age of Empire, was released in August, 2004, and details the idea of the multitude (which Hardt and Negri initially elaborated in Empire) as the potential site of a global democratic movement. In the Fall of 2009, a new co-authored book titled Commonwealth will appear to form a Trilogy.

In Empire Hardt proposes that what he views as the forces of current class oppression, namely - corporate globalization and commodification of services (or "production of affects") - have the potential to fuel social change of unprecedented dimensions.
