The Decomposition of the Soul /
Zersetzung der Seele / La décomposition de l'âme (2002)
This documentary gives a tour of a grim prison where the Stasi interrogated suspected dissidents, breaking them down--sometimes forcing them to confess to crimes they didn't commit--by isolating them in bare rooms for hours and even days without moving. There are interviews with two former inmates, who were "decomposed" for years after they were caught trying to help people escape to West Germany after the Berlin Wall went up. The most riveting part of the film is their return to the prison, which was closed in 1989 and turned into a memorial to its victims.

With Sigrid Paul and Hartmut Richter
Written and directed by Nina Toussaint and Massimo Iannetta
Based on texts by Jürgen Fuchs

Verriegelte Zeit / Locked Up Time (1990)
Filmmaker Sibylle Schönemann, imprisoned in East Germany in 1984, was released to West Germany after that country literally bought her freedom. In 1990 she went back and questioned those responsible.

ALL GOVERNMENTS LIE: Truth, Deception, and the Spirit of I.F. Stone

Independent journalists Jeremy Scahill, Glenn Greenwald, and Michael Moore expose government lies and corporate deception, inspired by the legendary investigative journalist I.F. Stone.

All Governments Lie: Truth, Deception, and the Spirit of I.F. Stone is a theatrical documentary created by a team of Emmy Award-winning filmmakers, who subscribed to I. F. Stone’s newsletter in their teens.

“I. F. Stone’s Weekly” inspired us then, and compels us now to tell the story of a new wave of independent, investigative, adversarial journalists following in Stone’s footsteps.

We hope this film will inspire the next generation of independent journalists, many of whom are now in college, to carry on I.F. Stone’s legacy of speaking truth to power.

This film will change the way you look at the mainstream media or “MSM”. Giant media conglomerates are increasingly reluctant to investigate or criticize government policies – particularly on defense, security and intelligence issues.

They are ceding responsibility for holding governments and corporations accountable to the independent journalists and filmmakers who risk their careers, their freedom and their lives in war zones – to expose the truth.

With government deception rampant, and intrusion of state surveillance into private life never more egregious, independent voices like Glenn Greenwald, Jeremy Scahill, and Amy Goodman are crucially important. All three are inspired by the iconoclastic rebel journalist named I. F. Stone, whose fearless, independent reporting from 1953 to 1971 filled a tiny 4-page newsletter which he wrote, published, and carried to the mailbox every week.

Stone is little known today, but All Governments Lie will reveal the profound influence he’s had on contemporary independent journalists like Greenwald, Scahill, Goodman and others.

Found this uploaded recently to my favorite private torrent tracker:

Traveling to the French National Library to see Jikji, the world’s oldest movable metal type book printed in Korea, a Canadian, David Redman discovers no one knows anything about the book printed in Korea in 1377! Realizing Eurocentrism is at play, David off sets off on a journey through Europe and Korea with Sarang Ness and the Jikji team to find how the print technology transferred from 13th Century Goryeo to Europe.

The internet revolution and fast access to information. The industrial revolution, science, and the production line. The European Enlightenment and modern Western political and intellectual culture.

Did Zen Buddhists at the Heungdeok Temple in Goryeo in 1377 start all of that?

The oldest surviving book printed with moveable metal type, the National Library of France (Bibliothèque nationale de France), and a missing letter link them all together. Goryeo man FTW!

Not really new per se, but I watched LA 92 on Netflix today. Just incredible.

Jikji was pretty cool. Another story, in Korean language was interesting, as it showed how the type was made with the lost wax method of casting. Of course, I couldn't understand a word of it, though, and decided to see if a translator caption to English was available and one was. It didn't help a bit. In fact, the translation was so bad that it became amusing.One thing I knew for sure was that whatever they were talking about was not being correctly translated. (I suggest you try it, if you want a good laugh.)

And then I thought, some guy's found himself the perfect job that he of course is not at all qualified for, but this, his employers not knowing English, have no way of knowing.

Bad AI!
