DUer symbolman's epic video, "An Army Of One", seems to have disappeared from the internet.

The url was takebackthemedia.com/onearmy.html

Does anyone have, or know how to retrieve, this poignant, epic video that is a big part of DU history?

Thanks!

1. It appears that the site(s) that hosted this are now gone

Found these in the archives:

3. Thanks, Rhiannon. This is a very serious historical loss, if we can't find that video.

It was one of the best anti-war film statements ever made.

4. I remember symbolman's videos very well, since I was also on DU back then

But I accessed them on DU, and it looks like Take Back the Media has turned into some kind of site for buying Chinese made goods...

2. The Wayback Machine has a snapshot that might include an animation

I'm not sure if this is the video you're thinking of or just part of it.

Edited to add: This page has links to all his flash animations - but they may not all work: https://web.archive.org/web/20090919034955/http://www.takebackthemedia.com/flash.html

6. You are good! Worked for me!

I was a little foggy on how the internets worked back in 2003... I agree, these are wonderful!

7. I wish we still had his "Mourning in America" flash.

It was made after Reagan died. It was the best video on the REAL Ronnie ever made.

8. I miss symbolman's work

I used Army of One to stop a Iraq vet from voting Republican. I think I have a bunch of his animations stashed somewhere in my archives.
