This collective is for movies,music,documentaries,angry rants, and any controversial sifts that would qualify as 'historical documents.' If you believe that any posting is a historical document or provides a competing view contrary to 'accepted' history, then please feel free to post it in this collective. I DO NOT want this to be a collective only of staid government films, videos of Presidents and the powerful giving speeches, or safe-for-toddlers History Channel stuff. What is historically momentous may be subjective. However, personal MySpace video diary 'histories' are discouraged. Please feel free to leave a profile message for me if you would like to join.
