South American scholar Luis Beltran describes the creation and activities of the radical Bolivian miners' radio station poised in the Andes Mountains. For twenty years this radio station has been the voice of miners, peasants and working people. Beltran cites this example as a model for people empowering themselves and fighting for their right to access communications resources. Truly inspiring! Produced in collaboration with Paper Tiger Columbus.
1993 Call It What It Is: PTTV West Looks at Domestic Violence and the MediaTRT:29:30
By establishing a relationship between personal experiences with domestic violence and the media's coverage of this issue, this tape challenges the viewer to examine the social forces which contribute to violence against women and children in the home. This video explores the number of ways the media's representation of domestic violence stories tend to isolate and obscure the seriousness of a social epidemic which causes more injury to women than all accidents, rapes and muggings combined.
