Aaron, do you have any insight into what happened with the 'Four died trying' series? Last I know was that they had some licensing-cost/lawyer-ish issue. Is there an update? and is this maybe also even a function of the system to deny transparency (with a popular medium like a video doc) to the public? intentional maybe? or is it simply the result of commodification of everything, even 'news reels from the past'? really liked the prologue episode. watched the 2nd one but didn't manage to get a local-copy in time before it wasn't available anymore via vimeo etc

Lukas

did you mention a particular book at some point that informed your thoughts about the enclosure movement?
