Owned, a Tale of Two Americas (Trailer)
'Owned' is a fever dream vision into the dark history behind the US housing economy. Tracking its overtly racist beginnings to its unbridled commoditization, the doc exposes a foundational story few Americans understand as their own.

A Night at the Jai Alai
Переглядів 14 тис.10 років тому
The little known sport of Jai Alai boasts to be the fastest sport on the planet. The sport's novelty spread its way throughout Florida in the 1960′s but over time the lack of interest has slowly deteriorated. Today its small but devout fan base is holding on by a thread. drewblatman.com
Jai Alai in general was run by crooks I.e. see World Jai Alai. Callahan, Rico etc . Such a shame, a beautiful game!
Long live Jai a lai
Very difficult that jai alai was over in North East USA fromn77 to 2001..forever bolivar..juaristi....cachin..juaristi..churruca....zulaica..boniguen

Superb doc, a real eye-opener. I of course had to go to RT to see it.
Thank you! Please do another one. Maybe one on all the Frontons, a Short clip from the ones around the country.
Miami has stuck around, go figure
I can understand drops in attendance, but for all the seats to be empty!!?? , No something is just not right
There's even more to that story, and it's sad!!
A hole in our Hearts.. Jai alai is truely missed by everyone... I wonder miss Jai Alai in Connecticut
I wish the speech was untrue.. unfortunately the death of jai alai will happen... long lived jaialai
:(
I just spent the day inspecting the now all but abandoned Orlando Jai Alai, roaming every one of those rooms from this movie. It's a quite run down and lonely place, brimming with ghosts of the past. I'd give anything to have seen its heyday. I can't believe it's going to be gone soon- replaced by some more cookie cutter shitty apartments....
The last time I drove through the Appalachian regions, I saw whites living in extreme poverty, generations living in trailers. They can barely afford gas, rent, healthy food, cars that run, healthcare, dental, decent clothing. They do not have money to buy a home, they pull a used trailer onto land they can scrounge from a relative, often the land does not perk and homes do not pass code. These white people live in third world conditions, without running water, in some cases. They've lived like this for generations, and it can be found from Ohio down to Alabama, town after town, state after state. Are these people mentioned in this documentary? Sometimes, wealth is more of a dividing factor than color, and not only people of color are poor or born into disadvantages.
This is also part of the film. I think we need to move past the idea that recognizing the suffering of one group of people needs to necessarily come at the expense of another. The point of the film (and the trailer) is to suggest that the housing economy is broken. And while it used to help middle class whites, it's helping really only the investor class at this point. So we need to come together to demand change. Change that would also help the people you describe.
this movie sucks shit
hey man, not sure anyone has told you but you normalize your audio for only the left channel.
Long LIve Jai alai !!! Man it is dying like me ...but i will always love and cherish it!!
When my grandparents used to go on vacation to Florida, they talked about this strange game played with a scoop and a ball, and it was really exciting. That's because it was- at the time- the ONLY game in town. In Florida once upon a time, casinos were verboten, and there were no Marlins, Jaguars, Lightning, or Panthers. Unfortunately the Boston Irish mafia fucked shit up, casinos were legalized, and family-friendly pro sports made their way to FLA. Once Jai Alai was the swankiest spot, now the retired rummies wander its halls. What I'd give to dine four stars and watch the games!
Personally, I hope the Cesta Punta Pro Tour does so well in Spain & France that they look into expanding it to other countries. It's not eight team quinela games, but it's Jai-Alai and I, for one, actually enjoy the partidos more than quinela games. You only get to enjoy watching four players at a time instead of 16, but the competition is definitely better. I hope it becomes successful enough that they try to get it to catch on over here in the United States. I would love to be able to go back to the Orlando fronton and watch the best players in the world compete once again. Cesta Punta Pro Tour website: www.cestapunta-protour.fr/
The players got greedy and when on strike when the sport was on life support. Union greed killed the sport in the USA.
nationalist818 explain why the players got greedy please. Why did the players go on strike?
@@joserraaja8033 The strike had nothing to do with the death of Jai Alai. It was the Florida Lottery that brought it to its knee's. The handles were going down right after the Lottery was introduced and that was years before the strike.
@Joserra Aja The strike had a lot to do with the players managers having a strong hold on the foriegn players. Pedro Elordi is a fine example of this Gestapo type of leadership.
@@joespade7249 It was not years before the strike. The lottery began April 29, 1988 and the strike happened the same month
Dope
Por dios,ese pasodoble,que este deporte no tiene nada que ver con el España cañí!!!
twintxua69 El pasodoble se tocaba en los Jai-Alai de USA para señalarlo como un deporte español puesto que el pasodoble junto con el flamenco y los toros es lo que el público americano relacionaba con más facilidad con nuestro País.
@Mark Ehrlich estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo, es un deporte maravilloso, sobre todo, el que se juega con cesta y fue una lástima que se cerraran todas aquellos frontones. Mi comentario se reducía a explicar porqué se tocaba un pasodoble cuando salían los pelotaris a la cancha. Las vascongadas son provincias españolas, Vizcaya, Álava y Guipúzcoa. Saludos
