• Got Docs: Way Down In The Hole

  August 28, 2010

  Trinidad, Colorado saw one of the country's bloodiest labor battles in 1913-1914, during the legendary coal miner's strike there. Now a new documentary, Way Down In The Hole, looks at the conflicts that led to the violence, between laborers and bosses, organizers, immigrants, agents for hire, and more. Filmmaker Alex Johnston is a graduate of theSocial Documentation (Soc Doc) program at UC Santa Cruz.

• We Are Sean Bell, Way Down in the Hole, and Sharon Jasper

  August 27, 2010

  Sean Bell was shot by New York City police officers four years ago on the night before his wedding day. This summer, the city settled the case against it, agreeing to pay $7 million to Bell's family and friends, including his two children. But settlement dollars aren't enough to fundamentally change police departments around the country, from Oakland to New Orleans to right here in New York.
