Item no. : PL07860295 Format : DVD Duration : 29 minutes Price : USD 225.00 LABOR AND WORK ISSUES SHIFT SHIFT SHIFT CHANGE CHANGE Directed by Melissa Young and Mark Dworkin Investigates employee-owned businesses that provide secure, dignified jobs in democratic workplaces even in today's economic crisis. Shift Change: Putting Democracy to Work tells the little known stories of employee-owned businesses that compete successfully in today's economy while providing secure, dignified jobs in democratic workplaces. With the long decline in US manufacturing and today's economic crisis, millions have been thrown out of work, and many are losing their homes. The usual economic solutions are not working, so some citizens and public officials are ready to think outside of the box, to reinvent our failing economy in order to restore long term community stability and a more egalitarian way of life. There is growing interest in firms that are owned and managed by their workers. Such firms tend to be more profitable and innovative, and more committed to the communities where they are based. Yet the public has little knowledge of their success, and the promise they offer for a better life. Amongst the organizations featured in SHIFT CHANGE are: Mondragon Cooperative Corporation - Begun in the 1950s, the Mondragon co-ops have transformed a depressed area of Spain into one of the most productive in Europe with a high standard of living and an egalitarian way of life. They are owned and managed by their workers. Seeing the achievements of the MCC helps to overcome the idea-widespread in North America-that worker run cooperatives can only exist on the economic fringe. The Evergreen Cooperatives in Cleveland, OH - This is an ambitious urban redevelopment model, directly inspired by Mondragon, where local institutions and public officials are supporting green cooperatives of previously marginalized, predominantly African American workers, who provide commercial laundry services, install solar energy systems, and grow vegetables in vast urban greenhouses. Arizmendi Association of Cooperatives, San Francisco, California - Started 30 years ago, there are now six of these independent worker owned and managed cooperative bakeries that work together to provide the financial and legal services they need, and to incubate new coop bakeries. Equal Exchange, Boston MA: Founded in 1986, Equal Exchange is one of the largest roasters of fair trade coffee in the world. Reviews � "A compelling story of real possibilities at a time when many think there are no solutions to this current difficult economic situation." - Paul Hazen, President & CEO, National Cooperative Business Association � "Gorgeous! Simply beautiful! I love what I see so far. The U.S. Federation of Worker Cooperatives strongly supports this project." - Melissa Hoover, Executive Director, U.S. Federation of Worker Cooperatives � "One of the barriers to fostering cooperative values and businesses in North America is the lack of awareness of the benefits that well organized cooperatives with good business practices can offer to workers and communities. Educating the public to the cooperative approach to business is an important contribution which Shift Change can make." - Ted Howard, Executive Director of Democracy Collaborative, University of Maryland Item no. : GB01110825 Format : DVD Duration : 69 minutes Audience : Grades 10-12, College, Adult Copyright : 2012 StdBkNo : 1937772381 Price : USD 295.00 LANGUAGES/LING UISTICS EXPLORING EXPLORING LANGUAGE: LANGUAGE: THINKING, THINKING, THINKING, WRITING, WRITING, WRITING, COMMUNICATING COMMUNICATING - APES APES AND AND LANGUAGE LANGUAGE This series has a dual purpose: to explore the social, psychological, and political implications of language and to teach the fundamentals of clear, concise writing.

Item no. : PH07860161 Format : DVD Duration : 29 minutes Price : USD 235.00 LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES 10TH 10TH PARALLEL PARALLEL PARALLEL By Silvio Da-Rin 10th PARALLEL takes us on a 300-mile journey up Brazil's Envira river into the heart of the Amazon Rainforest, to the frontier of a territory populated by the country's uncontacted indigenous tribes. Our guide is Jose Carlos Meirelles, a sertanista - one of the Amazon frontiersman employed by FUNAI, the National Indian Foundation of Brazil. With anthropologist Txai Terri de Aquino, he leads us to the Ethno-Environmental Protection Front of the Envira River, a FUNAI outpost he founded at the foot of the 10th Parallel South, the latitude that marks Brazil's border with Peru, cheek by jowl with the largest population of isolated indigenous people in the world. Until 1987, FUNAI attempted to make contact with previously isolated tribes and integrate them within the Brazilian state. The policy had disastrous results: the death of hundreds of thousands of indigenous people, and, in some cases, the virtual enslavement of others on behalf of government or industry. Since then, FUNAI has sought to maintain these tribes' isolation. Sertanistas like Meirelles, the very people who used to make first contact with the tribes on behalf of the government, are now charged with ensuring the new policy is observed. 10th PARALLEL documents 21 days of this frequently dangerous, always delicate labor. With few resources beyond decades of experience in the indigenous cause, the specialists negotiate with the established riverside indigenous communities, and face traffickers and squatters who try to invade the area. Meirelles describes sometimes harrowing encounters with members of the uncontacted tribes, including an ambush during which he was pierced through the face and neck with arrows. Even more than his bravery, we see Meirelles' dedication. In his meetings with the previously contacted and settled riverside tribes who live closest to the isolated communities, we see some of the thorny practicalities entailed by FUNAI's approach. After a number of conflicts and thefts involving the "wild" Indians, with casualties on both sides, Meirelles must propose possible solutions for peaceful coexistence, offering concessions on behalf of the government to the contacted indigenous communities that have suffered the greatest losses. 10th PARALLEL brings us deep into the Amazon and into close proximity with the rainforest's uncontacted populations to reveal the fascinating and complex issues at stake in FUNAI's policy on isolated tribes - a policy that has become a reference worldwide. We see that non-contact is not a policy of passivity or neglect, but rather entails all the subtle questions and balancing of constituencies as any other government program. Item no. : KA03100830 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 87 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 398.00 SILVESTRE SILVESTRE SILVESTRE PANTALEON PANTALEON By Roberto Olivares Ruiz and Jonathan Amith SILVESTRE PANTALEON is the story of an elderly man from the Nahuatl-speaking village of San Agustin Oapan, Mexico. It begins as a local curandero reads the protagonist's fortune in the cards and diagnoses the costly remedy to his ills: a complex series of offerings to the hearth, the ants, the river, and the deceased. Silvestre Pantaleon then struggles to pull together the money needed to pay for the curing ceremony and provide for his family, dedicating himself to the only remunerative activities he knows: handcrafting rope (made from the maguey plant) for religious ceremonies, and making seldom-used household objects that he alone still has the skills to produce. SILVESTRE PANTALEON -the result of a collaboration between an anthropologist who lives Oapan and a filmmaker dedicated to working in indigenous communities-unfolds with no interviews or narration. Rather, scenes from daily life are woven together in rich ethnographic detail and lingering imagery that explore a rural community situated in the shadow of a highway bridge to the international resort of Acapulco. Over this bridge pass thousands of tourists, oblivious to the village life just below yet worlds apart.
