Money Masters, The: the origins and power of money (Duuble
DVD)

How International Bankers Gained Control of America. A
unique three-and-a-half hour documentary tracing the origins
of money. Today's Money Masters have their roots in the
development of fractional reserve banking in the 17th
century which brought a new sophistry to techniques
initially used by goldsmiths to fraudulently accumulate
wealth. Starting with the privately owned Bank of England in
1694, central banks have spread throughout the world
monopolising money and turning our need for cash into a
diabolical privately owned money-spinner.



9/11: In Plane Site (DVD)

Here, live TV clips from New York TV Channels on September

firefighters, and other on-the-scene eyewitnesses, however,
crucial footage was shown only once, ground zero was
bulldozed and this TV evidence was never repeated. The
stories changed, information such as the collapse of WTC 7
disappeared, and propaganda took the place of reality.

Justice Act and the road protests of the nineties through to
the global anti-capitalist movement with much more in
between.



Greenham: The Making of a Monument (VHS)

The organisers of mass protests against nuclear weapons
recall how they mobilised thousands of women during the
1980s at the Greenham Common airbase. This was a peculiarly

airbase. As the story of the protest is recalled a monument
is being constructed in memory of the well-known women's
peace camp.

A critical look at the City of London's 1980's property

Revolution Will Not Be Televised, The (DVD)

Hugo Chavez, elected president of Venezuela in 1998, is a

working class and a tough-as-nails, quixotic opponent to the
power structure that would see him deposed. Two independent
filmmakers were inside the presidential palace on April 11,
2002, when he was forcibly removed from office. They were
also present 48 hours later when, remarkably, he returned to
power amid cheering aides. Their film records what was

MAMA/M.A.M.A. - Münchhausen Syndrome by Proxy

"Mama/M.A.M.A." is a groundbreaking film that examines
Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, a bizarre form of supposed
child abuse in which a mother pretends her child is ill - or
actually makes her child sick- in order to get the sympathy
and praise of the medical community. Amy's film questions
the validity of Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy, arguing that
in many cases doctors over-medication of infants and
over-reliance on lab tests may be the real cause of the
childrens' illness rather than abuse by their mothers.
