Human Zoos: America's Forgotten History of Scientific Racism (www.youtube.com)

submitted 1 day ago by quercus to c/documentaries

2 comments fedilink

Human Zoos tells the shocking story of how thousands of indigenous peoples were put on public display in America in the early decades of the twentieth century.

For more about the movie, additional information and clips be sure to visit the film's website at https://humanzoos.org/

Often touted as "missing links" between man and apes, these native peoples were harassed and demeaned. Their public display was arranged with the enthusiastic support of the most elite members of the scientific community, and it was promoted uncritically by American's leading newspapers. This award-winning documentary explores the heartbreaking story of what happened, shows how African-American ministers and other people of faith tried to push back, and reveals how some people today are still drawing on Social Darwinism in order to dehumanize others. The film also explores the tragic story of eugenics in America, the effort to breed human beings based on Darwinian principles.

This documentary tells the story of 3 small atolls in the Pacific that overcame their isolation and dependence on diesel generators to become the first 100% solar powered nation in the world. It also gives a unique insight into their sharing-based way of life - their fishing and cooking traditions, education, religion and political life.

2040: a documentary that explores what the future could look like if we simply embraced the best solutions already available to us to improve our planet and shifted them rapidly into the mainstream (www.youtube.com)

Unfortunately, this is a Free with ads Youtube Movie. What that means is that there isn't really a way to watch this with an adblocker on mobilem, and it will prompt you to open the youtube mobile app to watch it. However, adblockers do work on desktop browsers, so I'd recommend watching it there.

The documentary, while treading slightly techno-optimistic in a couple areas, overall does a pretty great job of presenting a solarpunk-ish future, with some suggestions for worthwhile solutions that could be implemented quickly. Overall, I think it's worth a watch.
