Welcome to the New Season of Social Justice Television

Social Justice Television is back with our new broadcast season of locally produced Public Affairs. We will be bringing you a new and exciting variety of programming from the Pacific Northwest and around the World.

We started off the New Season on October 11th with Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine.The Rise of Disaster Capitalism

From Pinochet's coup in Chile to the massacre in Tienanmen Square to the collapse of the Soviet Union and September 11th, 2001 and The war on Iraq and the Asian tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. Award-winning investigative journalist Naomi Klein brings together all of these world-changing events in her new book, "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism." Klein writes, "The history of the contemporary free market was written in shocks." She argues that "Some of the most infamous human rights violations of the past thirty-five years, which have tended to be viewed as sadistic acts carried out by anti-democratic regimes, were in fact either committed with the deliberate intent of terrorizing the public or actively harnessed to prepare the ground for the introduction of radical free-market reforms."
