"The Laura Flanders Show" (78 minutes)
In these three episodes, Laura and her guests address these topics:
“Bodies, Borders, Resistance, Rebirth,”
“All Families Belong Together,” and
“Telling Stories of the Syrian Civil War.”
"Gaza Farmers Struggle Between Economic Squeeze and Israeli Sniper Fire" (10 minutes)
The Israeli blockade of Gaza means that Palestinians have no control over crossings in and out of the territory. Importing farming materials is expensive, while exporting produce is often impossible. Most produce grown in Gaza can only be sold locally, where prices are too low to sustain the agricultural industry.
"Tax the Rich -- An Animated Fairy Tale" (8 minutes)
Narrated by Ed Asner, this video shows how we arrived at this moment of poorly funded public services and widening economic inequality. Things go downhill in a happy and prosperous land after the rich decide they don't want to pay taxes anymore. This land bears a startling resemblance to our land.
"This Is Power to the People" (7.5 minutes)
This video tells the story of how the hierarchical structures of corporations and governments are being undermined by everyday people producing renewable energy and sharing it with each other. Could the result be a more sustainable world?
"A Wave of Renewable Energy Resistance is Taking Root" (8 minutes)
The story of the Solar XL campaign takes you to the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation in South Dakota, where an oil pipeline would run half a mile outside its border. Solar XL is about more than standing up to one pipeline. It’s about resisting with clean energy solutions that support communities and protect our climate.
