This Sundance Festival award-winning documentary was filmed initially when filmmakers arrived at an Alabama prison to film a revival meeting. Off camera, inmates tell of the horrific conditions in the prison. Over six years, inmates secretly film the abuses, and even the details of a murder, with contraband cell phones, and they get the details to the filmmakers. The result is a powerful indictment of brutality, corruption, cover-up and a system in collapse.
This book examines the development of human culture from 3000 B.C. to the present. The author describes the rise and fall of cultures all over the world from a class point of view. He focuses on not just the role of the heralded and famous rich, but also the role of each of the classes, including the workers, employed and unemployed, and the peasants. He also examines how societal organization either encourages or alternately stifles technological development, and how that determines the health of a society.
Obviously this is a lot to put in one book, and he includes references for further reading. He makes incredible sense of the many cultural and religious twists and turns that human culture has made for itself. The promise of a better future is clear.
