“Briefcases and Bomb Shelters.“ At times whimsical, at times chilling, this program views a modern phenomenon--the bomb shelter. It is also a tongue-in-cheek critique of the lifestyles of the “bomb shelter“ believers, and contains a hilarious interview with a briefcase salesman. The video was prompted, in part, by a widely reported plan to make the briefcase part of the “protective cover“ during a nuclear attack. This tape has won awards at the Great Lakes, Illinois, and Athens, Ohio film and video festivals. Bob Hercules, 13:30, 1986
“Stoney Does Dallas.“ Berkeley, California humorist/street performer Stoney Burke conducts a ’tour’ of the 1984 Republican National Convention in Dallas. The results are both hilarious and politically biting. Media Process Group, 7:20, 1984.
“Tribune Strikers Rally.“ On January 4, 1986 the three unions on strike against the Chicago Tribune held a huge rally in which the rank and file from many other trade unions in the city participated. The tape documents the rally and presents a perspective on a growing phenomena in the U.S.: the systematic union busting by corporations around the country. Media Process Group, 6:00, 1986.
