Negri Documentary
Two British filmmakers have created a documentary of Antonio Negri that we would all be able to rent for about $100. However, thanks to the Multitude, it is available online for free.
As far as documentaries go I'd say it is on par with something you'd see on the History Channel, essentially you already know what they are going to tell you. I'd have liked to see more about Negri's childhood, what led him into militancy and theory, and a bit more about the collaborate process between him and Hardt. Also, because of its pirated nature, the sound seems to be out of sync with the video, but you'll spend the whole time reading the subtitles anyway so it's not a big deal. Still, some of the scenes are pretty exciting and watching Negri speak is pretty electric. The man has some passion.
