School Town King opens with a boy rapping. The 18-year-old Book and 13-year-old Non, living in the slums of Thailand, already know a life that started from zero. These slum kids rappers, who dream of becoming the best rappers in Thailand and buying a house for their mother, are struggling to find a way to quit school. They hate studying but what they hate the most is to recite the 12 commandments to be good children written by the military. Sometimes in quick and sensuous editing, or with a long tracking shot, Dir. Laisuwanchai builds the rhythm of the film, as the boys rap against poverty, inequality, and repressive educational systems. It is a cheerful and harmonious ensemble of kids rappers and a young director.

The Corporate Coup D'État

THE CORPORATE COUP DÉTAT takes a complex political/historical theme and brings it to life. In the style of 13th, Manufacturing Consent, The Corporation, and All Governments Lie it creates a powerful cinematic experience that explains how President Trump is the result of failed neoliberal globalist policies, and a corporate coup détat in which corporations and billionaires were able to gradually take control of the political process in the U.S. and elsewhere. In the words of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Chris Hedges: Donald Trump is not an anomaly. He is the grotesque visage of a collapsed democracy. The creeping corporate coup détat that began 45 years ago is complete. It has destroyed the lives of tens of millions of Americans no longer able to find work that provides a living wage, cursed to live in chronic poverty. Threaded through the film are the stories of the ultimate victims - working class and poor people in sacrifice zones like Camden, New Jersey and Youngstown, Ohio. Many working-class whites voted twice for Barack Obama, in 08 and 12, but in 2016 they felt abandoned by the elites of both parties, and voted for Donald Trump who promised he would be different. Featuring Chris Hedges, the main voice of the film as he visits Americans fighting for change and Canadian author John Ralston Saul, who warned prophetically in 1995: We are now in the midst of a coup détat in slow motion. Democracy is weakening... corporatism is strengthening.
