This provocative and amusing documentary explores the battles being waged in courts, classrooms, museums, film studios, and the Internet over control of our cultural commons.

Freedom of Expression is an essential tool for educators, activists, filmmakers, students, artists, librarians, and more.

Those who have worked with her claim that ā€œMerkiavelliā€ exercises power without moral barriers, just as Machiavelli taught.

The countries of the South were placed in the test tube. ā€œIf I had to write a book on the Shock Doctrine at this moment,ā€ says Naomi Klein, ā€œit would be on Greece.ā€ How did Merkel manage to impose German hegemony in Europe?
