Since we all inhabit the Earth, all of us are considered earthlings. There is no sexism, no racism, or speciesism in the term earthling. It encompasses each and every one of us, warm or cold-blooded, mammal, vertebrae or invertebrate, bird, reptile, amphibian, fish, and human alike. Humans, therefore, being not the only species on this planet, share this world with millions of other living creatures as we all evolved here together. EARTHLINGS is a feature length documentary about humanity’s absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and scientific research) but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these so-called “non-human providers.” The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR) and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby.
Ten thousand times a minute, in the united states alone, a food animal is killed. We consume more chicken on this very day, than we did in the whole year of 1930. Where do all the animals come from? And how are they treated?
With an in-depth study into pet stores, puppy mills and animals shelters, as well as factory farms, the leather and fur trades, sports and entertainment industries, and finally the medical and scientific profession, EARTHLINGS uses hidden cameras and never before seen footage to chronicle the day-to-day practices of some of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative and thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals, and human economic interests. There are many worthy animal rights films available, but this one transcends the setting.
I am not a vegetarian – and most likely will never be – but I can completely understand anyone who chose to be one. After watching this documentary I was crying. This is very hard to swallow.
I can hardly describe the horror that is the treatment of food-animals today.
This documentary is NSFW. If you want your life to stay the same, do not watch the documentary. Anyone who wants to know where their food really comes from click the “read more” button below. This documentary is highly recommended though and will probably change your life.
I don’t want to get all apocalyptic here but there are some topics that need to get adressed.
Peak Oil is the point in time when oil production reaches its maximimum. After this “Peak” oil production declines dramatically. If you take into account how much around us is made out of oil, you realize how devastating living on earth without oil would be.
We reached this point years ago. Wether this is a problem for humanity or not is up to your decision. Watch these Videos and decide for yourself.
If you want to watch only one documentary this year, let it be “Collapse” by Michael Ruppert.
Documentaries, videos and speeches on the subject of Peak Oil after the break.
There are so many people visiting the site now, so many people writing me e-mails, so many people having fun and watching interesting stuff on dam-age.com
I know that sometimes there is only one or two videos up per week, I know that my english sucks sometimes (I’m german) but I really, really appreciate your comments about grammar and formatting and LOVE your suggestions and ideas on new articles.
I answer every mail and every comment and I am pretty proud of my self because I have been able to keep up with providing documentaries to your favourite subjects.
I just want to thank you all for visiting, subscribing and enjoying the documentaries and videos.
Thanks a bunch. Take this haiku as a thanks to all of you.
Worker bees can leave.
Even drones can fly away.
The queen is their slave.
One of the most interesting documentaries I came across recently is the “Iceman” series. It follows a so-called “Mafia Hitman”, Richard Kuklinski, in several interviews before and after his trial. He shares several very personal stories of his childhood and family life and also how he became the killer that he was. This is not your typical saturday night, 2 am, serial killer documentary but very thought provoking and interesting.
After years of silence, “The Iceman” speaks. In two interviews a decade apart, Richard Kuklinski, a notorious top enforcer for the Gambino crime family, tells his unusual and gruesome story. Raised on—and immune to—violence, he kept his unorthodox job and tactics a secret from his adoring family. In 1986, after a long investigation, Kuklinski was betrayed by “the only man I didn’t kill” and is serving multiple life sentences.
The Iceman – Confessions of a Mafia Hitman and The Iceman Tapes: Conversations with a Killer were produced by HBO in 1992 and 2002 respectively. So if you want to watch it chronological start with “The Iceman Tapes” – if you want to watch the more recent one, have a look at “The Iceman”.
The two documentaries tie into each other very well with little redundancy. So I recommend you just watch both. Very worthy of your time.
In the U.S. more people are now abusing prescription drugs than cocain, heroin and ecstasy combined. The most used drug is Oxycodone and its basically heroin, made in lab, delivered by your trusted dealer: Your doctor. “They are drug dealers with degrees.” In Florida alone pills are involved in 75% of drug related deaths.
In this Peabody Award-winning edition of Vanguard, correspondent Mariana van Zeller travels to South Florida–the “Colombia of prescription drugs”–to expose a bustling pill pipeline that stretches from the beaches of Ft. Lauderdale to the rolling hills of Appalachia. “The OxyContin Express” features intimate access with pill addicts, prisoners and law enforcement as each struggles with a lethal national epidemic.
Yeah thats him. Sitting in a shower of lighting. The most important man who ever walked this earth and you most likely didn’t know who he was. For me electricity is the most important invention ever made and he is the master of sparks, bolts and lightning.
Well maybe Ammonium Nitrate as a fertilizer may be the most important invention ever made because it is pretty much responsible for the population explosion in the 20th century but lets put that argument aside. Electricity is everywhere.
But who do you think invented the groundwork for electricity as we know it today? Edison, Einstein? Nobody I asked knew the correct answer. Even two teachers of my little brothers high school physics class didn’t know the answer: It’s Nikola Tesla.
He layed the foundation of what we may know today as alternating current. Even though Edison is the the father of direct current, the direct current system is in very limited use today. Alternating current is just superiour in many ways. One of them being the most important: You can transport it over miles and miles with little loss in power.
So why does every child in Cumberland Kentucky know the name of Edison but nobody the name of Tesla? There may be some that recongnize the name from the famous video game series Command and Conquer where his “Tesla Coil” zapped foes to bits and pieces. And as you can see in this video you can have lots of fun with a tesla coil:
Still his genius is quite unknown, so lets put it in one sentence: “He invented a fucking wirelessly controlled electric submarine in the 19th century when most people didn’t even have a freaking lamp at their bed to read at night.” Yeah you read right; in the 19th century. Some of his other inventions are: FM Radio, the induction motor (!) an Atomic Death Ray and Wireless Energy. Wireless energy, like wifi , for your fleshlight. His inventions are so awesome that you read over the word Atomic Death Ray. In his own Manhattan Project he invented a huge coil, which in his own words would destroy “armies of soldiers”.
He may also be related to more than 1200 additional patents.
Yeah and he was batshit insane. Some claim he took his “manhood” (whatever that exactly means – sounds painful) and had a strange obsession with pigeons and numbers. He was also disgusted by human hair and was asexual but that only makes him more interesting. There are several texts and videos out there. Have a look at the sources I have collected and make your own conclusions. Regardless of how much you watch and read about him today. Just remember his name.
To understand why you didn’t knew Nikola Tesla in the first place; watch the videos and read the links on Nikola Tesla’s badassery after the break.
Professor Philip Zimbardo conveys how our individual perspectives of time affect our work, health and well-being. Time influences who we are as a person, how we view relationships and how we act in the world.
Most of use may like the real deal exclusively but there are some people out there with a fetish for real dolls.
The RealDoll is a life-size sex doll (also considered a mannequin) manufactured by Abyss Creations in San Marcos, California, and sold worldwide.
Some people like to get into very deep relationships with the dolls and this 40 minute documentary portraits these very rare people. Some heartwarming and some creepy moments await anyone who wants to test their tolerance on “finding someone special”.
All of us shared a little love for sea animals after the oil rig exploded. In not so related news: The Japanese already took it too far.
Genki and the Art of Eel P%rn the takes a look at the fantasies of a suprisingly creative director who takes exploitation-movies to another level,
by using eels and octopodes to fulfill your every desire.
Wether or not a sexual fishy fantasy exists in your mind, a very interesting and entertaining 15 minutes await for everyone with the balls to watch it. This documentary shines light on the Japanese adult entertainment industry behind the red light district. Don’t get to excited though, as everything nasty is censored. Suprise! Its still NSFW. Have a look after the break. Read More
