Laura Flanders & Friends
Third World Newsreel: Six Decades of Activist Media
Season 2
Episode 247
It’s almost unheard of for an independent media collective to survive as long as Third World Newsreel has. Since 1968, they have chronicled some of the most pivotal movements in human history and continue to expand on their collection of over 700 titles. There’s lots to learn about how they’ve adapted — and how the oldest media arts collective in the U.S. is making do in today’s “media carnage.”
