Avram Finkelstein: Silence = Death
December 22, 2010
"Institutionally, silence is about control. Personally, silence is about complicity," said Avram Finkelstein, one of the designers of the iconic Silence = Death poster in the age of AIDS. In this clip from our friends at Silence Opens Doors magazine, Finkelstein discusses the poster, the movement in the Reagan era, and why speaking out matters.

The F Word: Banning Art, Forgetting the Artists
December 3, 2010
This Wednesday was World AIDS day, but instead of honoring the lives lost to the disease, Republicans are attacking art that reflects on it. They're targeting a show at the National Portrait Gallery called Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture.
Farai Chideya, Dr. Joycelyn Elders, Jane Hamsher & Nathan Newman
October 20, 2010
It's nearly the homestretch for the 2010 midterm elections, and unsurprisingly, race remains a hot topic. From a new ad in Nevada urging Latinos not to vote to Sharron Angle's latest comments about Latino youth looking Asian, and ongoing concern that black voters will not turn out in numbers like they did in 2008, it's clear that no matter how much candidates deny it, race is this season's hot button.
Dr. Joycelyn Elders: Marijuana, Masturbation and Medicine
October 20, 2010
Dr. Joycelyn Elders is no stranger to making controversial statements in public, so her support of California's Proposition 19, the marijuana legalization ballot initiative, shouldn't be surprising. After all, years ago she was ousted as Bill Clinton's Surgeon General after noting that a discussion of masturbation should be part of educating young people on avoiding HIV infection.
Got Docs: The Other City
March 27, 2010
"In every city, there's another city that people rarely ever see."

Battle in Seattle, Copenhagen Protests, and World AIDS Day
November 30, 2009
It's 2009, and the biggest front of global action is on climate change. The US has moved from the flat denials of the Bush era to an acceptance of the problem, but solutions still elude us. As always, the people will have to lead.
Bodies as Battlefields: Yoga in Rwanda
November 13, 2009
When Deirdre Summerbell was approached about teaching yoga to the women in Rwanda, she was skeptical, but she decided to try it. “Yoga is slow medicine but it is medicinal in character," she says now of Project Air, where she helps women and girls reconnect with their bodies and heal their spirits. Summerbell joined us in the GRITtv studio to talk about her project and her plans to expand it into the Congo and other areas of the world, like Gaza and Afghanistan.
