Humanity from Space is an epic journey of discovery. Using the very latest mind-boggling data and astonishing CGI, the film traces the story of humankind’s ascent from hunter-gatherer to dominant global species.


Good Book "Democracy in Chains" by Nancy Maclean recommended by Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!

Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America.

“This sixty-year campaign to make libertarianism mainstream and eventually take the government itself is at the heart of Democracy in Chains. . . . [MacLean] takes the time to meticulously trace how we got here. . . . If you're worried about what all this means for America's future, you should be. . . . And if someone you know isn't convinced, you have just the book to hand them.”

As July of 2017 drew to a close, an extraordinary story unfolded in the halls of Congress. A GOP controlled House of Representatives had passed a bill that would deprive 24 million Americans of health insurance in order to give an 800 billion dollar tax cut to corporations and those making over $250,000 a year. A similar bill in the Republican controlled Senate stalled in part because several Republican senators felt it did not go far enough in stripping health insurance from America’s most vulnerable individuals.

Welcome to the race backwards toward the Gilded Age.
