Revolution Underground Subscribe

Told in the powerful voices of a struggling generation, an inspiring story of community, solidarity and resistance.

Regularly misrepresented by mainstream media, eleven disaffected youth from Montreal's black community set out in search of stories that will set the record straight. Arming themselves with video equipment, this collective of first-time filmmakers tackles the question "What is revolution?" The answers are bold and nuanced and come from a variety of young social activists, artists and organizers. Revolution Underground is a portrayal of resistance, a challenge to apathy and a testament to the power of solidarity. Discover how the making of this film destroys any notion that Black youth are powerless to effect change in their lives.

Political Corruption, oppression, manipulation, violence, and economic inbalance take center stage in this book. Most interesting is that the Nazi's used El Paso's gas chambers for broader crossers in their own dubious plans in WWII. Not the Leon Metz sanitized history you have all heard....
