Trump is Not Healthy for Dogs, Children, and Other Living Things Poster
The Trump is Not Healthy For Dogs, Children, and Other Living Things poster is a variation of the great historic original posters created during the Vietnam era, War is Not Healthy for Children and Other Living Things by Lorraine Schneider.
My variation of this poster, my “personal picket sign”, is a digital painting that I did and then had the idea of making a poster out of it. It is one of the Resistance posters that I have been recreating to fight against everything horrible that Trump and the right wing have been doing. I have been walking the streets and art galleries with with my “personal picket sign” as one person ongoing demonstration and have been getting mostly great responses and great concern.
The Pigeons is an experimental political sci-fi narrative short that is very relevant and timely to the current political attacks against everyone's well being and does it with humor and seriousness. It doesn't shy away from having an opinion on what is happening to our world.
Everything changed after the eclipse. Animals were acting strange, dogs were acting strange, cats were acting strange, pigeons were acting strange, and so were the people, especially the politicians.

The people you see here are just a small sample of the many who are engaging in attacks against the People of the United States and the World. The faces you see here represent masks that hide the truth about what the right wing is saying and really doing.
Elon Musk and his corporate gang of tech goons are dismantling programs for people world wide and is engaging in all out coup attempt by the billionaires and millionaires with Donald Trump as their main sidekick helper. They all must be stopped and held accountable. World wide demonstrations and a BOYCOTT of Tesla is a good start.
We have a country that doesn't feed all its people, doesn't provide housing for everyone, doesn't provide health care for everyone, that attacks the LGBTQ+ community's right to be who they are, that uses racism to spread hatred and to divide us, that takes away the right for women to decide what is best for themselves, that spends billions on horrific wars, allows mass murderers to freely purchase weapons of war. This capitalist system is not solving these problems and doesn't even try to solve the problems, it is ruled by what is best for profits, not by what's best for the people. They lie and distort the truth every day and block and ignore attempts to really solve all the problems of humanity. They deliberately mislead people and claim to represent the working class, the poor, the homeless...
They represent the corporations and vote for outrageous tax breaks for the rich. The billions we spend on war should be spent to solve the problems of the people and to fund the necessary programs and research to find cures and treatments for cancer and other diseases. They continue to deny climate change and poison our environment. They continue to support a dangerous political cult leader and trip all over themselves to be the next leader of the right wing funded by corporations and billionaires like the Koch brothers. Can we trust this unstable wannabe dictator with the keys to humanity’s destruction? The list goes on and on, add your injustice to it.
A UNITED Mass movement can stop this right wing takeover and begin to solve all the problems with government power holders that don't really represent the interests of working class people whether it be republicans or democrats.

Street Scenes 15 shows the passion, dedication, and excitement of the people that are part of the Fight for 15 movement to gain a livable minimum wage. As a movie goer, it's very enjoyable to see the expressions of joy and determination on the faces of people dedicated to making economic social justice a reality. Lively social justice music was a big part of the rallies and marches that makes Street Scenes 15 great fun to watch. Passionate and informative speakers bring home the great need for a $15 an hour minimum wage that is an important part of the current national debate. It was filmed from 2014 to 2016 in Boston Massachusetts.
TEACH, Teachers are Talking, Is the Nation Listening? is a film that features conversations about the art of teaching and learning by teachers themselves. TEACH brings an important perspective to the national education debate that is currently being dominated by a corporate led agenda to privatize and profitize education and blame teachers for everything that is wrong with education in this country. This movie takes on many questions about No Child Left Behind, high stakes testing, unequal distribution of education resources, and schools dominated by data and test driven curriculum instead of providing an education that is dynamic, creative, exciting, and joyful. As the filmmakers state in the movie, "Every day in the media we hear from the businesses, thinktankers, politicians, and administrators, this movie is about those who don't usually get heard." The filmmakers of TEACH, Teachers are Talking, Is the Nation Listening? are teachers in the Boston Public Schools.
TEACH, Teachers Are Talking, Is the Nation Listening? has received the
Indie Spec Best Cinematography Award from the Boston International Film Festival. TEACH has also been accepted into the Manhattan Film Festival.
TEACH examines the behind the scenes forces that are attacking teachers and their unions, promoting charter schools as the solution, and standardized testing as the primary determinant of student and teacher value. The film interviewed over 40 teachers from many school districts including Boston, Brooklyn, NY, Madison, WI, Key West, FL, North Conway, NH, Cambridge, MA, Newton, MA, Lincoln-Sudbury,MA, and others. Additional parts of the movie include legislative hearings, speeches, and debates between union and school officials, various public hearings about school closings, and various teacher rallies. The filmmakers traveled to Wisconsin to take part in the rallies and document the multitude of happenings there to fight to protect their unions. Included in the film are interviews and many scenes from the protests there including the rally of more than 100,000 people on February 26, 2011.
As stated in the subtitle, Teachers are Talking, Is the Nation Listening. We hope to bring the voices and wisdom of teachers to the nation.
We are renewing our call to have showings of TEACH as a starting point for discussion about the continued attacks against teachers and quality education. Please contact us to arrange a screening of TEACH. Email: filminfo (at) teachdocumentary.com or call us at 617 699-9349.
