The Last Poets: Made In Amerikkka In Harlem 1968, a group of young poets got together and founded The Last Poets. With jazz and funk as a backdrop, percussion rolling, and words shooting out like bursts of machine-gun fire, the group denounced the oppression of African-Americans while painting a devastating yet humorous picture of life in the ghetto.

Nearly 40 years after their separation, the members of this legendary group—the founding fathers of today’s hip-hop, rap, and slam—came together in Paris for a one-time concert at the 2008 Banlieues Blues Festival.

From the intimacy of a Parisian rehearsal room, they evoke the past: the birth of the collective, the years of political unrest, and their high-risk creative madness. The musicians accompanying the poets for this concert/gathering are veritable musical legends: Ronald Shannon Jackson, Jamaladeen Tacuma, Robert Irving III, and Kenyatte Abdur-Rahman.

This film by Claude Santiago erases the boundaries between genres. It’s a live recording, a musical documentary, and an art film all combined into one—yet it goes beyond any of these!

Gitmo: The True Story Located only 400 miles from Miami is the US Naval Base Guantanamo Bay—also known to many as GITMO. It is the oldest US base overseas, and the only US Naval Base in a Communist country. On this DVD, hear true stories from our current military soldiers, and from Cubans employed on the base during 1960s.

The United States leased the 45 square miles of land and water in 1903 from our thentrading partner Cuba. Both countries agreed to payment of $2,000 in gold per year ($4,085 by today’s standards) with a requirement of mutual consent by both parties to terminate the lease.

In 1961 President Dwight Eisenhower cut all diplomatic relationships with Cuba. Over 17 miles of fence were built, and both the US Marines and Cuba’s Frontier Brigade currently patrol opposite sides of the base’s fence line 24 hours a day.

The Heilongjiang Acrobatic troupe, based in the city of Harbin, is one of China’s most respected acrobatic groups.

For over 50 years its performers have thrilled audiences throughout China with contemporary interpretations of this traditional art form. Two years ago, artistic director Mr. Guan Xin Min decided on a new and innovative direction for Heilongjiang—they would become the only acrobatics truope in China to perform on ice!

Combining ice-skating and traditional acrobatics may be a great marketing tool, but it will take a team of ultra– talented and dedicated performers to turn this idea into reality. After training practices and performances, the Heilongjiang Acrobatic troupe is ready to take its unique style of ice acrobatics beyond mainland China. This is a tense and exciting time for all the young performers—but will circumstances beyond their control conspire to end this momentous endeavour before it even begins?

Taiwan, originally named “Formosa” by the Portuguese in 1544 to mean “beautiful island,” is the fourth tallest island in the world. Located in the center of Taiwan, Mt. Ali towers the highest of 2,663 meters (about 8,736 feet). Mt. Ali is world famous for its five rare sites including the Sunrise, the Ali Mountain Forest Steam Rail, the famous Mt. Ali Sacred Tree, the Grand Sea of Clouds, and the Flamboyant Cherry Blossom.

The narrow-gauge forest steam rail was constructed during the early period of Japan’s 1895–1945 occupation of Taiwan. Its tracks have a gauge of only 762 millimeters, with an average gradient of 6.25%. By journey’s end, the train will have climbed to an elevation well above 2,000 meters, trundling through 55 tunnels and across 77 ridges that afford breathtaking views of deep ravines and distant peaks. It is one of the most famous alpine railways still operating in the world today.
