Somehow this 30 minute video biography of Jesco White, the "best" mountain dancer in West Virginia, manages to be simultaneously frightening, touching, and hilarious. Since originally airing on West Virginia public television, it's become something of a cult classic.
"Jessie can be three people. He is Jessie, he is Jesco, and he is Elvis. Jessie is the most beautiful man that I could've ever loved. But Jesco... he is somebody else. He's the devil in hiself. Nothing satisfies him, he can't be happy, nothing you do for him makes him happy." - (Norma Gene White)
"And I took the butcher knife and held it up to her neck. I said, 'If you want to live to see tomorrow, you better start frying them eggs a little bit better than what you've been frying them, and I'm tired of eating sloppy slimy eggs." - (Jesco White)
This documentary examines the turbulent life in California of political philosopher Herbert Marcuse (1898-1979), author of One-Dimensional Man, Reason and Revolution and Eros and Civilization, among other books, professor of philosophy at the University of California San Diego, and a visionary and influential force for the student movement worldwide during the Sixties and Seventies. Blending archival footage, interviews, re- created scenes and voice-over narration, the video profiles not only the life of Marcuse but also the history of student protest and social activism. The video features interviews with Marcuse's student Angela Davis, former UCSD Chancellor William McGill, colleagues Fredric Jameson and Reinhard Lettau, and rare footage of Marcuse and former California Governor Ronald Reagan.

Douglas Rushkoff talks about media and the press, about the birth and possibilities of the Internet: what's gone wrong and what could go beautifully right, about counter culture and the "us and them"-mentality.
