Our Own Private Bin Ladin & The Great Game (Must see Documentaries and Interviews)

President Obama has announced that Osama Bin Ladin has been killed just days after WikiLeaks released that "an al-Qaeda commander claims that a such a dirty bomb will apparently be detonated [in Europe] if Osama bin Laden is captured or assassinated." Over the years "the Bogeyman" has released many audio and video tapes that to some prove, he was alive, and others claim are fraudulant. Several experts and World Leaders a like have claimed he has been dead since 2002, whatever the truth, here are a selections of contentious videos (many several years old), that are extremely interesting, and thought provoking.


"OUR OWN PRIVATE BIN LADEN" is an insightful documentary film by Samira Goetschel about understanding the creation of the persona of Osama bin Laden as a phenomenon of the interplay between history, politics, global economics and the media..

Crips And Bloods: Made In America Documantary By Stacey Peralta

"I remember interviewing Skeeter Rabbit (R.I.P.) from The Electric Boogaloos, he was a very wise and cool guy. He was the first person that really explained the rise of the Crip and Blood dynamic to me. He said that after the Black Community Leadership fell apart through Government actions, Drugs and infighting, the space left was filled by Gangs populated by the Children of the Revolutionary movement. He also talked about the Southern Rascism that followed the Black Diaspora from the South. I was amazed, because I had never heard that side of the story, and it really makes you think about it in a different angle. The quote from the O.G. Blood member in the film, that many people in L.A. are living in "suspended animation", has a whole other meaning.

Unless you spend any time in L.A., or the Southern West Coast in general, it is really hard to understand how intrenched the Gang situation is, and that includes Gangs of all races. Crips And Bloods: Made In America is an excellent look at that situation by Stacey Peralta of Skateboard Company Powell Peralta." - Shucks One

The Kool Skool have previously looked at Gang Imagery in Hip-Hop culture.

home to the most influential black music and musicians to date (Desmond Decker, Jimmy
Cliff, Count Shelly, Ann Peebles, Percy Sledge, Ben E King Billy Ocean, Bob Marley, and many
others) Despite its success it came under fire from the local Police and was forced to close its
doors in the late 90’s due to a compulsory re- possession ordered by the local Authorities to
