The hope of peace at last: The Russian Revolution in documentary and song

The November-December episode of Communist Voice premieres on The Peoples Channel Tuesday (the 6^th) at 6pm, but because of some problems, the previous episode will be air one more week on Durham Community Media, so the new episode will start there on the 13^th at 6pm. The title of this episode comes from a line from an excellent Irish song, The Red Flag, sung to the tune of O Tannenbaum or Maryland, My Maryland. It was written by Jim Connell in 1889 (see webpages.dcu.ie/~sheehanh/lsongs.htm ). This episode includes Chronicle of October – 1917; Song is Our Friend, which has some famous Soviet songs like the World War II song Holy War; a short YouTube video from the Communist Party of Great Britain Marxist-Leninist, which I won't describe because it is going to surprise many people, though many communists will already know this song; and two music videos by the Pakistani group Laal. There were a lot of problems getting the Laal videos off of Youtube. Inqalab [Revolution] is dedicated to the millions of bonded laborers in South Asia. There might be some problems with the video, but it can be viewed, with English subtitles, at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtrV6o2fCpI&feature=relmfu . The episode ends on Jaago [Awaken], a Pakistani version of the famous leftist song The Internationale. It can be found in a few places on YouTube, but this video comes from www.youtube.com/watch?v=v07kRN1VnlA&feature=related . Because of technical problems, the video and audio were added separately, and something might have happened with the audio, since it should have vocals. I would have liked to include Utho Meri Duniya ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=owHGL8ZG0WI&feature=relmfu ), but there were technical problems and lack of time in this episode.
