The alonovo.com People Before Profit Film Series

[Note: Promoted by mole333]

In order to help educate the public and build community around the theme of "People Before Profit", we need your help. Beginning February 10 with "The Corporation" we are planning a series of nationwide house parties, each of which will be followed by a 30 minute conference call with the filmmakers, authors and/or subject matter experts.

We are honored that Professor Joel Bakan, author of "The Corporation" and others will be joining us for the event.

Over the next several months, the alonovo.com house party film series mission is to help people understand how ExxonMobil, Wal*Mart, Halliburton, Enron, General Motors, Union Carbide Kimberly-Clark and others that put the pursuit of profit above all else, harm society, the environment and our resources. We will be presenting films from Hello Cool World, Brave New Films, MoneyTalks, Ashoka and others that offer compelling independent media that is either edgy or inspirational, and all related to corporate behavior.

As egregious corporate behavior is a theme that impacts all of us, I would be personally grateful if you could help us with visibility for the event. If you could help promote the series to your community it would be of great value to your constituents. If you are able to help us we would be happy to list your organization as an event co-sponsor or major co-sponsor and provide a link back to your site, or an educational campaign you may have developed which is aligned with the film or film series.

Words to live by

Superman is a foreigner in a country composed of foreigners; he is, in the phrase of one literary critic, a "Krypto-American immigrant." On Krypton his name was Kal-El, the Hebrew phrase for "god that is light" in weight--that is, a deity who does not oppress and is so light taht he scoffs at the laws of gravity...In America the man of steel is an outsider who succeeds in a new world. He does so by applying his superhuman powers in a way that Jews typically wished others to behave--by helping the weak...Superman is no Nietzschean Ubermench; instead, he is a sort of New Dealer. Conceived during the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt, to whom Jews showed deeper loyalty than did any other ethnic voting bloc, Superman signified the yearning to protect the vulnerable and to stimulate the confidence-building efforts at nationalist recovery. That is why he reliably fights for "truth, justice, and the American way." In his humanitarian acts, he is more effective than the golem who protects the jews of Prague; the benefactor whom Siegel and Shuster fantasized into being is less parochial and this more democratic as well.


— Stephen J. Whitfield in his chapter in Cultures of the Jews, edited by David Biale
