Some of our members requested the following videos:
Southampton Solent Unis protest against Top-up fees.
Tommy Sheridans powerful speech at Socialism 2006:
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
The following video is the full documentary "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised". If you haven’t seen this movie then I highly recommend that you do. It shows the reality of Venezuela, Chavez, and of the attempted, American led, coup against him.
The next video is also on Venezuela it was made by a Venezuelan Co-operative film company. "Venezuela Bolivariana: People and Struggle of the Fourth World War" uses much of the same footage as "The Revolution will not be Televised" however it fills in allot of gaps. Giving additional evidence about the attempted coup (photos of the police snipers firing at protesters), and also goes over the recent history of Venezuela. It covers past problems, Venezuela’s solutions, and its result. Its another very good documentary that stole the show at a number of different film festivals.
