Make the Point with Film & Video 

Onthefencefilms.com reaches the online community

Advocates of liberty: Use film and video to help bring about a more culturally dynamic, prosperous society of free and responsible people. Onthefencefilms.com is one example to learn from.

Onthefencefilms covers government-run health care in its “Two Women,” “A Short Course in Brain Surgery” (just over four and five minutes, respectively) and “Dead Meat.” The website notes the latter “is a 25 minute short film which shows the reality of health care under Canada's socialized medical system: Canadians wait ... and wait ... and wait. ... And sometimes they die while waiting for free government health care.” (I hope the DVD includes the hilarious blooper scenes.)

“Indoctrinate U” highlights the sad state of thought, free speech and exchange of ideas on American campuses today. Watch the three-minute trailer. Onthefencefilms writes, this video “reveals the ugly truths about academia that you won't see in their glossy admissions brochures.” Thinking, who needs it?

My thanks to John LaPlante for bringing this site to my attention, and now yours. Take five, get some popcorn and review the above videos.
