Shakespeare Behind Bars (2005)

Take Shakespeare's final play The Tempest with its violent seas, windswept island, crucial connection to nature, and underlying theme of forgiveness, and bring it into a prison, the ultimate venue of confinement. The result is an extraordinary story about the creative process and the power of art to heal and redeem--in a place where the very act of participation in theatre is a human triumph and a means of personal liberation.


In Hank Rogerson's revelatory trip into and around this prison production, we embark on a year-long journey with the Shakespeare Behind Bars theatre troupe. Led by Shakespearean volunteer director Curt Tofteland, whose innovative work with Luther Luckett inmates began in the mid-1990s, the prisoners cast themselves in roles reflecting their personal history and fate. Their individual stories, including information about their heinous crimes, are interwoven with the plot of The Tempest as the inmates delve deeply into the characters they portray while confronting their personal demons.

SHAKESPEARE BEHIND BARS is a tremendously moving film, where the protagonists are not merely defined by their crimes but are afforded dignity and a fresh chance to look truth in the eye, and embrace it.


SHAKESPEARE BEHIND BARS is written and directed by Hank Rogerson and produced by Jilann Spitzmiller. Rogerson and Spitzmiller are a husband and wife team that has collaborated on projects for 15 years, including the award-winning documentary HOMELAND for ITVS and CIRCLE OF STORIES, also for ITVS, which was part of the Sundance Online Film Festival in 2003.


Produced by Philomath Films in association with the Independent Television Service (ITVS) and the BBC, with major funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The film has received other major support from the Sundance Institute Documentary Fund, and was selected for the first-ever Sundance Institute Documentary Story and Edit Lab, as well as the Sundance Documentary Composer’s Lab in 2004.

The Roots of the Matrix (2004)

The Roots of the Matrix (2004)
Runtime: 1:00:52


This video seperates The matrix trilogy and explains all the beliefs structures, religions beliefs, philosophies, etc. that are woven into the matrix movies.


It uses the writers' and directors' own movie to show their alternate agenda. One example of how closely the movie is really based on religious beliefs is that the license plates on the cars during the highway chase sceen are actually Bible books and verses that parrallel what is happening in the movie.


This video clearly shows it would take much longer to fully explain the depth of which the writers wove the stories, than it did for them to write it.

Director: William J. Eggleston
Release Date: 2008 (USA)
Genre: Art - Documentary


In 1973, photographer William Eggleston picked up a Sony PortaPak and took to documenting the soul of Memphis and New Orleans.



"Shot with a Sony Porta-Pak, the crazily careering Stranded in Canton documents a cast of hard-drinking Southerners with the intimacy, ease and instability of a seasoned participants. Whiffs of Southern Gothic are not new to Mr. Eggleston’s work, but here they rise to the surface--fierce, tragic and proud."

Alfred Hitchcock's Nazi Holocaust Documentary

Film by British Government/Alfred Hitchcock
Filmed in 1945, first broadcast in 2008
Video length: 53 mins


This shocking, and sometimes sickening, film, was shot by camera crews that accompanied the British and American soldiers who liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1945, as World War II was just coming to an end. The film itself was never quite finished because as it was being produced, the British government decided that it was too graphic for public consumption, and hence it lay in the archives of the British Imperial War Museum until its first showing in 2007. According to BlatantNews.Com, some parts have no soundtrack, but it has been put together as the producers had planned in the original script.


The Jew's bore the brunt of Hitler's hate campaign. Of the 11 million people that died in the concentration camps, it is believed that 6 million were Jewish. This collective shock to a whole group of people, spread out across Europe historically, was not over after World War II ended. They continued to receive bad treatment by some Eastern European countries, most notably Poland and Hungary, but it is still hard to fathom how they have brought about such destruction, and carnage, to the Middle East, when viewing this film. Their treatment of the Palestinian's, whom they have basically driven from their lands and squashed into the West bank and Gaza Strip, is close to what they received at the hands of the Nazi's, and surely their collective memory will awaken to this fact at some point.
