April 24th Edition of SJTV

On this week's edition of Social Justice Television we'll be featuring a documentary by Earth Justice .org named "Islands at Risk: Genetic Engineering in Hawai'i". This video documents how Hawaii was designated a national and international a "sacrifice area" for large Biotech companies like Monsanto where they can freely experiment with untested Genetically Modified Plants (GMOs) putting in danger the local farming economy, due to cross contamination which has already occurred, and the health of people who unknowingly eat food pollinated by genetically modified plants and organisms.

Local activists and Scientists are just starting to correlate increases in cancer, diabetes and other health problems due to consumption of GMO food. This excellent documentary was made in 2006 by Na Maka o ka Aina for Earthjustice, the non-profit public interest law firm, and is re-presented with permission.

Other video shorts included on this week's shjow are "End of The World Song": A short movie that was included on the culture jammer's dvd released by Adbusters Media Foundation.

It features the song 'mere your pathetique light' by Mono and has the poetry of Czeslaw Maslow. The imagery is unsourced.

A simple short film all about the end of the world and how it is happening right now around us, but we don't really realise that it is because we are too busy consumed in the things that don't actually matter in the long run. The imagery and the words really hit the spot as they attempt to display the wonderful things in life that we seem to take for granted or that we have lost.
