This is the conclusion of a masterclass on this theme taught by Vandana Shiva to students at the University of British Columbia on August 17, 2020. This program also includes a rare bonus-track of a TUC Radio recording of Shiva’s keynote at the Fast Food World conference at UC Berkeley on November 24, 2003. Before earning her PhD in quantum theory Vandana Shiva had been training in India in the atomic energy commission. She credits the Chipko Movement, where she volunteered, with teaching her about biodiversity. Chipko was a nonviolent ecological movement in India in the 1970s started by rural villagers, mainly women. They were protecting trees and forests slated for government-backed logging by embracing the trees and stopping the chainsaws. Vandana Shiva gave up a career in physics and returned to her mothers farm. She set up the Research Foundation for Science, Technology, and Ecology in her mother’s cowshed in 1997 and became an eloquent spokesperson for the ecological value of traditional farming. In the last 30 years Vandana Shiva has campaigned against genetic engineering, biotechnology, chemical industrial agriculture, patenting of life and the global rule of the World Trade Organization. These two segments from Vandana Shiva’s work are meant to inspire a new kind of thinking about food and soil at a time when coming home to basics might bring comfort and inspiration.

As 2020, aka the year from hell, rolls on, we thought it might be a good time to revisit an uplifting voice from less troubled times. This week on Sea Change Radio, we dig into the archives and listen to our 2017 discussion with British writer and environmentalist, George Monbiot. We talk about his book, Out of the Wreckage, where Monbiot examines how our politics have been mired between the redundant doctrines of Keynesianism and neoliberalism - and he reminds us of the importance of recognizing altruism and of the power of narrative in the human psyche. In addition to providing some insight into how we ended up here, it’ll hopefully help you take your mind off of this dismal year.

Paul Rusesabagina has appeared in a court in Kigali, after mysteriously disappearing from the United Arab Emirates. Rusesabagina is a well-known critic of the Rwandan regime presided over by dictator Paul Kagame. Phil talks to two members of the Rwandan Bridge Builders, Pierre-Claver Nkinambuzi and Gilbert Mwenedata about Rusesabagina's shocking abduction. Though Paul Rusesabagina was at first regarded as a national hero subsequent to the release of the popular film "Hotel Rwanda," he later because a villain in the eyes of the Kagame regime after Rusesabagina became a critic of Kagame. Paul Rusesabagina will not get a fair trial in Rwanda. He was a refugee in Belgium, and then became a Belgian citizen. Belgium, then, should demand that Rusesabagina be returned to Belgium, where the Rwandan government would have to follow due process in making a case for extradition.

He has written several books and numerous articles on the subject. His most recent book is In the Fields of the North / En los campos del norte: , David Bacon documents the experiences of some of the hardest-working and most disenfranchised laborers in the country: the farm workers who are responsible for making California Americas breadbasket. Combining haunting photographs with the voices of migrant farm workers. Host Sylvia Richardson speaks to David about how US foreign policies combined with regressive trade agreements have been responsible for displacing millions of people from countries like El Salvador, Haiti and Mexico, and how Trump is adding insult to injury by repealing the TPS Status (Temporary Protected Status) from people who have been living and contributing to American society for many decades. And how as citizens we must stand together and protect those most vulnerable despite who the president is.

Today we explore the use of propaganda to control the political discourse. In particular the use of propaganda by the Israeli Lobby to alter historical facts and put forth a narrative that, though false, suits their imperialistic agenda. Sut Jhally, Professor emeritus at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, has studied and taught the issue for years, and was interviewed in a Washington Report on the Middle East webinar by Grant Smith. If you have not seen Sut Jhally’s film, the Occupation of the American Mind, you can find it for free on YouTube. It is an amazing piece of film…so good and so accurate that censoring it has become a major focus for the Israeli lobby.

An interesting look at our fascination with celebrities ... and corporate marketers' exploitation of this to sell products. In fact our attraction to celebrities appears rooted in our evolution: the closer our ancestors got to the alpha male, the more likely they were to survive. The show includes parts of the documentary film *Starsuckers* and CHRIS HEDGES' critique of Michael Jackson's funeral.
