This movie, of Roy's words, is truly an epic find. How terribly terribly beautiful. I keep checking back on the vid's upvote count, expecting to find 1000+ on it. Maybe that's all we have, eh?

Thanks for making it available,

Peace,

Suzanna Arundhati Roy is an Indian novelist, writer and activist. She won the Booker Prize in 1997 for her first novel, The God of Small Things, and, in 2002, the Lannan Cultural Freedom Prize. But this video is not about her, it's about her Words.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arundhati_Roy from http://www.weroy.org

We is a fast-paced 64 minute documentary that covers the world politics of power, war, corporations, deception and exploitation.

It visualizes the words of Arundhati Roy, specifically her famous Come September speech, where she spoke on such things as the war on terror, corporate globalization, justice and the growing civil unrest.

It's witty, moving, alarming and quite a lesson in modern history.

We is almost in the style of a continuous music video. The music used sets the pace and serves as wonderful background for the words of Ms. Roy and images of humanity in the world we live all in today.

We is a completely free documentary, created and released anonymously on the internet.

There are many ways to download and view it. If you'd like a TV quality copy, a DVD-R disc (also containing extras) can be obtained for a small donation.

My apologies, I rarely log into videosift

You could rarely go wrong with the Meters; I picked up their Funkify Your Life: The Meters Anthology before a road trip and was groovin' across statelines. I don't really know if I would really consider Booker T & the MGs "funk" but I tend to group them with the Meters. The Very Best of Booker T. & the MG's will get you through a long day... Stax 50th Anniversary Celebration falls into the same cat., not exactly funk but some great music!

I guess the funkiest thing I'd listen to recently was Sly and the Family Stone's Greatest Hits and There's a Riot Goin' On. Hits brings up some pop and party, while Riot is more dirty. Any which way, you can't go wrong with any of that stuff. Happy listening!

“The song at the beginning (and at the end) is the Meters' "Handclapping Song" from the album Struttin'.”

thanks for the song id! Any other good funk reccomendations?

Nice appeal to authority. For your information there's a surfeit of serious literary criticism casting doubt upon the merit of Rushdie's abilities. As much as I'd like my own soon-to-be-finished novel to be shortlisted for the Booker you have to remember that such hackery as "Vernon God Little" and "The Life of Pi" have won in recent years.

lol. could you possibly have discredited yourself more with such transparent buffoonery? Let's have a little rundown of the people who somehow escaped your ever so erudite realization that he's a "bad second rate writer" shall we? Here's a wiki sampling of some of the prestigious literary awards he's won:

Booker Prize for Fiction
James Tait Black Memorial Prize (Fiction)
Arts Council Writers' Award
English-Speaking Union Award
Booker of Bookers or the best novel among the Booker Prize winners for Fiction
Prix du Meilleur Livre Etranger
Whitbread Novel Award (twice)

Agreed. I think the bookers assumed that he would do wacky and inspired things by virtue of the treadmill video. Instead, he simply answered what he was asked.

With the exception of John Lennon, musicians are rarely great chat show guests.
