Machinima With A Political Voice

Moe Napoli writes "While machinima has long promised itself as a way to democratize animated filmmaking, it might finally be finding its way out of the steady stream of crass comedy and frag videos. Filmmakers with a desire to express their political views are using machinima as way of articulating their perspectives. One film that's gaining a lot of attention for its political message is The French Democracy, a machinima about the suburban riots in France, and made with Activision's recently released game/machinima app, The Movies. Additional commentary about the film is also on Clive Thompson's Collision Detection and Paul Marino's Thinking Machinima."

Funny, when I tried it in Firefox it didn't work... yet other sites I use works with WMC.

And when I tried it in IE, the plugin itself loaded but it was like the content didn't get downloaded... Why not supply a simple download link?
