Means TV has got you, comrade
Bernie dropping out of the 2020 presidential race is depressing, and the idea of Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump is even more bleak.
BUT this movement isn’t just about Bernie, it’s about building a better future — a Socialist future.
We can’t lose sight of the fact that workers have more power right now than we’ve had in a long time. The gears of history are turning. In this spirit, we’ve compiled a list of movies and shows available on Means TV, the only post-capitalist worker-owned streaming service, to help us figure out where we are, where we’ve been, and what’s next.
Rodents of Unusual Size
A story about defiant people on the edge of the world defending their communities, culture, and livelihoods from an invasive rodent species.
Sarasota Half In Dream
This feature-length nature documentary is a reminder that everything is temporary and nothing lasts forever.
“Watching it, I didn’t think about contemporary socialist politics in the U.S., at least not overtly. Instead I thought about the beauty of the natural world, and our futile attempts to control it. I thought about how, together, we could be stewards of nature instead of extracting its resources for material gain.” — Marie Solis, VICE
Nat Bates for Mayor
Bernie himself makes a cameo in this documentary that follows the OUTRAGEOUS 2014 mayoral race in Richmond, CA and the insanity of municipal politics. All told through the lives of bigger-than-life small-town characters you have to see to believe.
Struggle
The reality is, we can’t vote in change when we don’t live in a democracy.
Struggle is the story of how Ohio’s 2004 presidential election was rigged in every way possible, through high tech and old fashioned ballot stuffing.
Feels like the 2020 Democratic primary!!!
Art House Politics
Laugh, cry, learn. The original Art House Politics series on Means TV serves up an assortment of bits, sketches, cartoons and art pieces about the confusing and disorienting experience of living in capitalism.
Nosotros
Nosotros reminds us that we are not alone in our struggle against the political establishment.
This inspiring feature-length film is a generational portrait of Spain’s youth in a time of political crisis. The story follows 5 friends as they’re forced to make difficult decisions about their future during the 2015 Spanish presidential election.
At the request of the director, Nosotros is available for free on Means TV to stand in solidarity with other artists in Europe making their work public during the global COVID-19 crisis.
Step Back History
Let’s put this shit sandwich into context!
Step Back is a history channel that invites you to consider the past and how it connects to today. If you love history but hate the history channel, this show’ is for you.
