$120 donation. In this film by Peter Hutchison and Lucas Sabean, author George Monbiot lays out an irrefutable case for the reality that neoliberal policies are fundamentally incompatible with the preservation of life on earth, as we know it. 'The Invisible Doctrine' provides a vital and refreshing counter-narrative to neoliberal thought. Drawing upon recent studies that refute the pervasive notion that we are self-serving individuals by design ? and, rather, the species most adept and attuned to cooperation, mutual aid and altruism ? Monbiot calls for a 'rewinding of politics.' Through participatory practices that increase democratic engagement in community and regional politics, a new 'politics of belonging' can emerge ? a remedy for the vicious spiral of alienation and loneliness we find ourselves mired within.

$75 donation. Based on recordings made by filmmaker Henry Jaglom of lunchtime talks with his friend Orson Welles, the book presents Welles talking intimately, disclosing personal secrets, reflecting on the highs and lows of his Hollywood career, the people he knew - FDR, Winston Churchill, Charlie Chaplin, Marlene Dietrich, Laurence Olivier, David Selznick, Rita Hayworth, and more - and the many disappointments of his last years. This is the great director unplugged, free to be irreverent and worse?sexist, homophobic, racist, or none of the above - because he was nothing if not a fabulator and provocateur. Ranging from politics to literature to movies to the shortcomings of his friends and the many films he was still eager to launch, Welles is at once cynical and romantic, sentimental and raunchy, but never boring and always wickedly funny.
