These videos are an eclectic mix. Slide shows put to music and poetry, cartoons, comedy/satire etc. Anything but documentaries. Not that I don't like documentaries, I do and if I had a TV they are what I would spend a lot of time watching and being passive in front of, but I am more interested in seeing and being moved by an 'artistic' interpretation of our times. And it is a time of war so most are reflective of that - are critiques of it.

The musical videos cover a range of genre, from Jackson Browne to Anti Flag to Sara Thomsen to Foreign Policy. Poetry and the spoken word videos include the whole of chapter 2 of the Art of War by Sun Tzu.

Some have horrific images from war. The ones the aggressor nations censor from their media. Some images are horrific and shocking, and if you don't want your children to see what is being done to other children by the Anglo-American military alliance, that's up to you. The children of Iraq are not just seeing it they are experiencing it. They do not have the luxury of turning away.

When people spend time to create a short slide show, performance or cartoon they also put their emotions into it and which come through as in all art worth it's name. This applies to both the 'professional' and the 'amateur' artists, those very definitions are lost in the process of cultural production. Anybody can do it in other words.

A wide range of emotions are present in these videos. Sorrow, hope, revulsion, anger.

But most of all they are defiant. Wanting and working for a world of peace and the end to the war machine.
