The first one is about the different approaches to direct action against war.

The features are mainly in Mpeg format - although some are in Divx format [to save space]

This means that they can be played on the most humble of computers, and mac's and linux as well.

CD's are so much easier to copy that VHS's that we hope that this CD against war will spiral out of our control and become a part of the virucybermap [whatever that is]

Here are some of the features contained -
