I thought it was important to get back to the spiritual element of a discussion on politics, environment, animal usage, etc. This film talks about the Tibetan book of the dead. It discusses some of the beliefs Tibetan Buddhists have about the dying process and what comes after death. I think my interest in Buddhism [...]
You are probably thinking this post is going to be about oil. ZZZZZZ… This is about fair trade coffee. I’m a big coffee drinker and passionate about it. When I have the choice I always choose fair trade and organic. Sadly South Korea (at least Jeju-do) has very few options in those regards. Although I [...]

Just click on each part after the end of each sequence. In any discussion of politics you must include media, the corporate structures [...]

So how can you talk about politics without discussing war? I saw No End In Sight a while ago and thought it was a superb documentary on the Iraq war. It has the most in depth coverage of the war that I have seen. If you are really interested in educating yourself on some of [...]
Update: I just found the full length documentary and embedded it above. Watch this movie now. It’s a really good one. This is still one of the most impacting documentaries I’ve seen on food and GMO’s (Genetically Modified Organisms). This is only a 10min excerpt. I highly encourage you to see the whole movie The [...]
