9 Free Documentaries: Inside Smart Weapon Scopes, How Money is Made, Manufacturing Consent, How America Went Postal, Life At Any Price, Hunting the Internet Bullies, The Lord is Not on Trial Today, Contagion, Four Horsemen


If videos don't show up in your email, they are viewable at the website: http://www.dustcircle.com
Long Shot: Inside the Scope of Smart Weapons
In spring of 2013, Texas-based start up TrackingPoint Solutions released the first ever precision-guided firearm, which is essentially a long-range, laser-guided robo rifle. Call it the gun of tomorrow: The technology is so advanced we’ve heard it can have beginners killing at extreme distances with single-shot accuracy in mere minutes.The PGF’s closed-loop system is based off jet fighter lock and launch technology, something TrackingPoint CEO Jason Schauble says not only marks the next great paradigm shift in the evolution of firearms—it helps users make ethical kill shots too. But critics of the PGF platform, no doubt part and parcel of a rising tide of intelligent killer apps, say the gun, or rather its proprietary scope, marks the dawn of “skill-free killing”.


How Money Is MadeHow Money is Made details the processes involved in printing money, primarily the US dollar. It also explores the world of counterfeiting and fraud that embodies the monetary world.


Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of Mass Media
Noam Chomsky’s documentary “Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of Mass Media” from 1988. analyses mass media and the political ramifications and implications of the messages broadcasted in the United States, being its goal to direct public opinion while “numbing” the people and maiming their ability to educate themselves and effectively produce antagonical political criticism and judgement regarding the established officially broadcasted messages crafted by the powerful in conjunction with mass media outlets throughout the US!


Murder By Proxy: How America Went Postal
Murder By Proxy: How America Went Postal is a documentary film that examines the phenomenon of spree killing, particularly in a workplace, that became known in the United States as “going postal”. The film argues that the phenomenon originated in the United States Postal Service as a result of hostile work environment following the Postal Reorganization Act of 1971 and then spread to the rest of society.


Life At Any Price
Two-thirds of the world’s women live in countries where abortion can be obtained for a variety of social, economic or personal reasons. In other nations it is allowed only in cases of rape, foetal abnormality or when a woman’s life is at risk.


Hunting The Internet Bullies: When Social Networking Turns Bad
Social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter have changed our way of communication. Despite the many advantages that come with this change, there are some serious problems that have occurred  One of them is cyber bullying. Pop star Cher Lloyd is a famous example for a victim of internet bullying. She shares her story and fears with BBC-reporter Declan Lawn.


The Lord is Not on Trial Here Today
The Lord Is Not On Trial Here Today is a Peabody and Emmy Award-winning documentary that tells the compelling personal story of the late Vashti McCollum, and how her efforts to protect her ten year-old son led to one of the most important and landmark First Amendment cases in U.S. Supreme Court history - the case that established the separation of church and state in public schools.


















ContagionIn India a deadly, mutant strain of tuberculosis is spreading across the country. In the shadows of India's capital, New Delhi, Anjou Kashab quietly battles her demons. Her frail body is being ravaged by tuberculosis. Both her lungs are infected and she's on a cocktail of pills and injections to stay alive. For 10 years Anjou has been fighting the illness, but the drugs haven't worked. She's seen more than a dozen doctors and swallowed thousands of prescription pills in the hope of a cure. Instead of the vibrant, young woman she once was, Anjou is now skin and bone, weighing just 29 kilos.


















Four Horsemen – Revealing the fundamental flaws in the economic system
As the global economy continues to veer from crisis to catastrophe – many more people are looking for wise counsel on how to reshape the Western Economy. Over the last three years 23 global thinkers – many of whom have been marginalized have come together to break their silence and explain how the world really works. Their views transcend mainstream media and short term political explanations to describe simple terms what needs to be addressed in our universities, governments and corporate structures. Ee will not be returning to “business as usual”.

Fool Me Twice, Shame on US

"It's shocking to me that in this day and age, after what this world has been through, that there can be any argument that what the United States plans to do is legal. For the United States to go in there, you need two sets of laws to be complied with. One is international law, UN law, and the other is our own domestic Constitution of the United States. Since the Second World War, there's only two ways that you can make war on another nation. One is in self-defense. So if you're being attacked by a missile or a rocket from that country, etc., you can use self-defense against that country to try and stop it. And the second one was under the authority of United Nations, the Security Council."—Michael Ratner

@dustcirclenews - Free Documentaries: The Psychology of Control, To the Last Drop, Invisible Threat, Sex for Sale, King Corn, Who Gets the Best Jobs?


If the documentaries aren't visible in your email, follow this link to see them  http://www.dustcircle.com

State of Mind: The Psychology of Control
If you don’t submit to control, if you’re a radical, you’re less likely to be loved. You’re not fitting in with society; you’re viewed as an outsider. There are a lot of social prohibitions about the outsider and the person who’s going to upset things. From the time we’re very young, we’re taught to worship authority, basically, because that’s our key to survival as young children. But as adults, we never go through the rights of passage that tell us how to methodically think for ourselves, and thus we’re always in a state of extended adolescence.



















To the Last Drop
Canadian wilderness sits atop what many think is the biggest deposit of oil on the planet. A sea of sand soaked with bitumen – the Tar Sands. The Tar Sands now supply more oil to the United States than any other foreign source. A century of secure energy. Since 9/11, Canada has become the most important supplier of foreign oil to America. It’s a market Canada can’t afford to lose. Even in the heart of the recession, the oil sands were sending in the order of $20 billion a year into the Canadian economy.


















Invisible Threat
It’s bad enough to catch a disease naturally but to take a disease and turn it into a weapon, to enhance the disease, to make it more virulent or more contiguous or more resistant to known vaccines it just kind of goes off the charts there. It’s turning Mother Nature against us. Weapons that destroy by spreading deadly diseases have a long and unhappy history. Billions of dollars have been spent by governments to create pathogens that can cause fatal illnesses. Even today some countries are stockpiling just such a deadly arsenal.



















Sex for Sale: Prostitution
It’s been called world’s oldest profession yet it’s always been taboo – prostitution. Around the world the sex industry presents many faces. From the violent sex slums of Bangladesh, to the deadly sidewalks of the United States. From the stylish bordellos of Australia, to Europe where the disabled pay for sex, and where man are videotaped in futuristic cyber-brothels. Step into the forbidden world of sex for sale. Those who sell sex, whether male or female, are shunned and labeled as whores or hookers.




















King Corn: You Are What You Eat
When Ian Cheney and his best friend Curt Ellis graduated from college they thought they were done with professors and they supposed to feel like they had their whole lives ahead of them, but they just heard some rather disconcerting news. Some day they were going to die, and maybe sooner than they thought. For the first time in American history their generation was at risk of having a shorter lifespan than their parents. And it was because of what they ate.



















Who Gets the Best Jobs: Is it all about contacts and money?
Nowadays society in Britain is socially unequal. The gap between the rich and the rest has widened and it will continue to grow bigger. Opportunities for children are limited if you come from a working class family and don´t have “good” contacts. This documentary tries to reveal the barriers which stop people from rising up to the economic ladder.

If the videos aren't visible in your email, they will be on the website: http://www.dustcircle.com

Dark Days

Filmmaker Marc Singer brings a unique view of New York City’s homeless in a very raw film. Dark Days was made by Singer spending 2 years living in the subterranean tunnels with the people that society has cast out. These people have come together to form a sort of underground community. This film, shot in black and white and without narration, reveals some of the lives of those in these ‘hidden’ communities.

Sniper: Inside The Crosshairs

A History of Syria

Robin Barnwell, who directed and produced ‘A History of Syria with Dan Snow’, explains the challenges of filming amid the conflict, and describes the spirit of the Syrian people he met.

How Many People Can Live On Planet Earth

In a Horizon special, naturalist Sir David Attenborough investigates whether the world is heading for a population crisis.

Surgery’s Dirty Secrets

Vigorous investigation of a topical issue. Panorama investigates concerns about the quality of surgical instruments being used on patients in the UK. Reporter Samantha Poling hears from those working inside the NHS who claim that tools with dangerous defects are being supplied to hospitals.

I LOST MY JOB

I Lost My Job is a short documentary film which sets out to explore the phenomenon which is affecting and due to affect many people’s lives – namely, technological unemployment. The documentary also examines what we can do about it as a society through the analysis of a transitional direction.

MEXICO’S FEMALE CRIME JOURNALISTS

We travel to Ciudad Juarez to meet the journalists who cover politics and crime for the Diario de Juarez. All of them are women and they have covered more crimes than anyone we can think of. They are also some of the bravest women we’ve ever met. We followed them around the city as they covered political rallies of the ruling party, PAN, and to crime scenes, to try to understand what happened there over the past few years and why the candidates were not fully addressing the most glaring issue in Mexican politics right now.

The Nature of Existence
For The Nature of Existence, Nygard prepared a questionnaire with 85 weighty philosophical questions, ranging from Why do we exist? and Do we have free will? to Who created God? and Is there a moral yardstick that applies to all cultures?


















Turlock
In February of 2012, the owners of A&L Poultry – a 50,000 hen egg farm – stopped feeding the hens in their care, leaving the birds without food for more than two weeks.


















AFRAID OF PEOPLE
Social anxiety is anxiety (emotional discomfort, fear, apprehension, or worry) about social situations, interactions with others, and being evaluated or scrutinized by other people. The difference between Social Anxiety and normal apprehension of social situations is that social anxiety involves an intense feeling of fear in social situations and especially situations that are unfamiliar or in which you will be watched or evaluated by others. The feeling of fear is so strong that in these types of situations you may be so worried that you feel anxious just thinking about them and will go to great lengths to avoid them.

LICENSE TO KILL – EUTHANASIA
It is illegal in Australia, taboo across Asia, and a political and moral minefield to boot, yet poll after poll shows 80 percent of Australians want voluntary euthanasia introduced.


MILKING IT
Recent years has seen the British dairy industry in trouble, with hundreds of dairy farms going bankrupt every year. Sharcott Pennings farm (a part of Stowell Farm) is a great example of a thriving dairy farm. Proving that when done right, dairy farming can still be a profitable business.

GARY HARTSTEIN – I WAS JUST A DOCTOR
Dr Gary Hartstein, M.D. is the former FIA Medical Delegate for the Formula One World Championship. Gary has been key in developing some of the FIA’s new approaches and policies in terms of medical safety.


IT RUNS ON WATER
It Runs On Water gives viewers a clear message that Free Energy is on the way. Arthur C. Clarke explains how there were four stages in the way scientists react to the development of anything of a revolutionary nature. “Free Energy” was now working its way through these four stages of reaction.

NAKED CITIZENS
