Media fighters

A cutting edge snapshot of cultural subversion at the dawn of the
digital age. It explores the exponential growth in anti-capitalist activism
around the world and the new nodes of protest available via computers and
the internet.

The Barcelona based artist Daniel Miracle explain the functioning of his experimental televison while occupying the ether and transmitting a Paper Tiger TV interview with EZLN (Ejercito Zapatista de Liberación Nacional).

This short documentary explores Italy’s Telestreet phenomena, a network of close to 200 micro pirate TV transmitters that begun in the summer of 2002 to counter the media monopoly of Silvio Berlusconi. Perhaps the most interesting tactical media initiative of recent times, the Telestreet network combines both old and new media, lo-tech and hi-tech.
