About this original series

We are dedicated to the production of edgy, visceral documentary that challenges American indoctrination and motivates people into action. As thinking human beings we are not enamored with the myth of objectivity. Rather we witness, and interpret, and above all strive to remain honest in our analysis. Video is our tool of choice in the fight for radical social change, Power to the People.“In this long war, with the camera as our rifle, e do in fact move into a guerrilla activity.” -Fernando Solanas & Octavio Getino, Towards a Third Cinema
