On History: Tariq Ali and Oliver Stone in Conversation

Click here to access video from C-Span's video library.

Yesterday I was lucky to view about two thirds of this C-Span production over the local PBS TV station. It features two very interesting individuals who discuss a variety of controversial political subjects. It is about an hour and half program available at the above link online. I highly recommend it. 
Filmmaker Oliver Stone and author and filmmaker Tariq Ali present their thoughts on the politics of history and what they consider to be hidden aspects of American history. Their discussion ranges across several topics,from American involvement against the Russian Revolution to a profile of the labor union, the Industrial Workers of the World. Oliver  Stone andTariq Ali speak at the New York Public Library in New York City.
