ORIGINAL PRODUCTIONS
SourceCode Season 3
SourceCode is Free Speech TV's original weekly current affairs series. Each
episode deals with a particular social, economic or environmental justice issue.
An interview along with an investigative field report provide viewers in-depth
information often unavailable elsewhere on television. A citizen journalist
submission and a grassroots campaign report provide viewers with concrete
examples of what ordinary people are doing to document and combat injustices
and abuses of government and corporate power. SourceCode season three
highlights include:
State of the Oceans: SourceCode collaborates with Mother Jones Magazine for a special episode
on that shows how fishing industries threaten food supplies.
War and the Environment: SourceCode examines the environmental costs of war with a look
at depleted uranium, environmental destruction in Iraq, and the impact of WWI munitions buried
under the nation's capitol 80 years ago.
Dissent, Not Terrorism: SourceCode examines civil disobedience under the Patriot Act by
exploring the risks activists face when they defend the environment.
First Nation Rights: SourceCode visits the Skull Valley Goshute Reservation in Utah where
nuclear waste dumping has caused one Goshute member to stand up for preservation of their land.
Capitalism vs. Environment: Is an environmentally sustainable economy, possible? Hear from
Hunter Lovins on "natural capitalism".
