September 11 All Day Mr. Soul! From 1968 to 1973, the public television variety show SOUL!, guided by the enigmatic producer and host Ellis Haizlip, offered an unfiltered, uncompromising celebration of Black literature, poetry, music, and politics—voices that had few other options for national exposure, and, as a result, found the program an improbable place to call home.

Now Until September 15 “La Revolución Del Pueblo”: Muestra De Nuevo Cine Experimental Chilenx In October 2019 a new popular movement was born in the streets of Santiago, Chile.

movement continues to grow in different cities of Chile, it is making its way to different social media platforms that have quickly formed a communal network. With a more direct way to share first-hand information coming from every neighborhood, people no longer need to rely on the national press, which is often controlled by wealthy families or the government. Watch this film series online at maysles.org for a suggested donation of $12.
