Take a globe-trotting trip across the ruins of civilization destroyed by unfettered greed, illegal CIA-backed coups, and corporate colonialism, where John Pilger and his band of brave collaborators set out to ask a very simple question: How many needless humans must die for America to finally feel safe?

Whether in the hot and sticky jungles of Cambodia under the despot Pol Pot and his radical band of fanatics known as “The Khmer Rouge”, or tracing the despair left in the wake of the Contra death squads in Nicaragua, this series will make you re-think the way the world has been shaped around us. And the casualties taken to get us here.

In this collection, we bring you the final performance of the iconic anti-censorship warrior & prolific godfather of stand-up comedy Lenny Bruce, a rare hard-to-find early performance for one of his torch bearers, the bodacious Bill Hicks, & an even harder to find experimental performance by Rudy Ray Moore as his prolific character Dolemite.

Prepare to laugh (& cry) as the most dangerous comics in American history hit the stage for once in a lifetime performances that slipped through the cracks, now archived & restored for your viewing pleasure. We’re proud to present The Comedians Of The Counterculture!

Writing, directing, and editing nearly all of her short film works, and starring in many, Deren’s experimental spirit, love of choreography, and daring anti-narrative style transcended film, figuring more in the NY Dance and European emigre Art scenes of the day than the manufactured glamour of the Hollywood aesthetic.

Moving from bohemian Greenwich Village to L.A. to start a career in photography and poetry, Deren soon discovered her pursuits were best-suited for film. But rather than creating work for Hollywood, Deren rejected wholeheartedly the industry’s conceits and practices, stating “I make my pictures for what Hollywood spends on lipstick.” Her thrifty approach, however, never sacrificed visual quality, as her films would be stunning achievements on any budget — Deren’s vision was so distinctive, yet relatable, that all she needed was a 16mm camera and a little inspiration.
