Destination Danang Running Documentary
The remarkable trek of Georgia ultra marathon runner, Stan Cottrell, who ran down the coastal highway from Hanoi through Hue to Danang in all » an effort to foster harmony between the peoples of the US and Vietnam.
Though there is a great deal of talk in the film (and a narration that often approaches poetry), the best of it is the pictures of Cottrell jogging determinedly through hamlets full of the curious and landscapes full of the litter of war. And yet there is something so good-natured about this epic wind-mill-tilt that DESTINATION DANANG takes on a dizzy life of its own--you roll with it. "He was very loud and he said foolish things," says Annie Huynh, and she is surely right. But he means so well. Of course, Americans have always meant so well in Vietnam. But perhaps this time, the film says, will be different.
Stan Cottrell's earlier run in China was also made in to a film by director Mickey Grant and is appearing on Google Video and is titled CHINA RUN. Stan Cottrell is an American possessed with understanding the true meaning of friendship. A very simple yet possessed fellow from Kentucky.
A man with the guts to meet our former enemy. Not as a peace promoter. But just as a simple man wanting to understand friendship.

Zeitgeist Documentary Full Video
Zeitgeist, produced by Peter Joseph, was created as a nonprofit filmiac expression to inspire people to start looking at the world from a more critical perspective and to understand that very often things are not what the population at large think they are. The information in Zeitgeist was established over a year long period of research and the current Source page on this site lists the basic sources used / referenced and the Interactive Transcript includes exact source references and further information.
Now, it's important to point out that there is a tendency to simply disbelieve things that are counter to our understanding, without the necessary research performed.
For example, some information contained in Part 1 and Part 3, specifically, is not obtained by simple keyword searches on the Internet. You have to dig deeper. For instance, very often people who look up "Horus" or "The Federal Reserve" on the Internet draw their conclusions from very general or biased sources. Online encyclopedias or text book Encyclopedias often do not contain the information contained in Zeitgeist. However, if one takes the time to read the sources provided, they will find that what is being presented is based on documented evidence. Any corrections, clarifications & further points regarding the film are found on the Clarifications page. Non-Profit DVDs / Free Video Downloads are available through the Downloads page.
That being said, It is my hope that people will not take what is said
in the film as the truth, but find out for themselves, for truth is not told, it is realized.
