Jeremy Bowen presents a look back at the creation of the state of Israel, examining the the events leading up to the Israeli war of Independence in 1949, its impact on Arab/Israeli relations and the implications for the Middle East.

This discription doesn't do this documentary justice. It's a one hour crash course in some of the underlying causes of the current problems in the Middle East.

see the further links for much deeper background information, and also a link to a site that disagrees with pretty much anything this documentary shows. Never mind some points they raise were nowhere implied as they seem to infer they were. It's inevitable in this conflict.

The War File - Kamikaze - To Die for the Emperor

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 20:47:44 -0400

Category: Documentaries �� Added: Wed, 30 Apr 2008 20:47:44 -0400 Description:

Named after the “divine wind” which had twice intervened to prevent invasion by the armies of Kublai Kahn in the 13th Century, the Kamikaze pilots symbolised the extreme lengths the Japanese Imperial forces were prepared to go when faced with defeat. Opposed by the might of the American fleet, rebuilt after the surprise attack at Pearl Harbour, the Imperial seal of approval was given to suicide air attacks on the enemy stalking them in the Pacific.
Honoured for its purity, suicide was shrouded in ceremony and mysticism, capturing the Samurai spirit. It took several military forms when Japan withdrew from the League of Nations after occupying Manchuria in 1931. Ramming techniques were perfected alongside the development of human bombs, bullets and torpedoes, as the suicide tactics struck terror into the hearts of men trying to survive – by men wishing to die. It was the suicide pilots, dubbed “black edged cherry blossoms” who were the most feared in this savage arena.
Captured within this rare archive footage is the nightmare chaos of the Pacific War, the air thick with tracer bullets and belching smoke as the sea foamed with devastating destruction. Although the Banzai tactics eventually led to mass suicide amongst the Japanese and the gradual depletion of men and machines resulted in defeat – the American navy had been forced into retreat by the horrific onslaught. They and the rest of the world had witnessed the Samurai mentality, where a whole nation, from the Emperor downwards was honoured to die for their cause.

Rivers of Blood

Sat, 29 Mar 2008 13:01:59 -0400

Category: Documentaries �� Added: Sat, 29 Mar 2008 13:01:59 -0400 Description:

Rivers of Blood is one of the best known but least understood speeches in British political history. In this documentary the fragments of filmed speech that survive are brought together and Enoch Powell's argument is examined in detail.
Powell prophesied that mass migration would lead to segregation and communal violence, but the incendiary nature of his language dominated the headlines. His core argument was largely ignored. This film examines Powell's character and the fears that drove him to make his fateful speech.
We see how his words bitterly divided the nation, and see why Powell was cast out into the political wilderness, with his speech becoming a byword for racism.
On the 40th anniversary of Rivers of Blood, this film explores the controversial claims and counter-claims surrounding one of Britain's most divisive politicians, and perhaps the most infamous speech in modern political history.
The interviewees include: Frank Field MP, Professor Stuart Hall, Lord Hattersley, Simon Heffer, Lord Heseltine, Lord Hurd, Lord Lester QC, Kenan Malik, Lord Parekh, Professor Roger Scruton, Ambalavaner Sivanandan and Baroness Lola Young. Contains some strong language.

Crude

Category: Documentaries �� Added: Sat, 22 Mar 2008 11:09:33 -0400 Description:

Crude - the incredible journey of oil, from its birth deep within our dinosaur-inhabited past, to its ascendancy as the indispensable ingredient of modern life.
Oil is one of the most sought after resources in the world and sweeps into almost every part of our modern lives, yet most people have little idea of the incredible 160 million year journey it has made to reach our gas tanks and plastic bags. What is its history? Where does it come from? When will it run out?
Shooting on locations around the world and using CGI animations to visualize both science and history, Crude helps make sense of the oil-driven world we live in. It connects the dots between geology and economy; between the past, present and future. Crude takes a step back from the day-to-day news to offer a fresh perspective on the amazing fluid that powers our lives.

Mr and Mrs bin Laden

Sat, 22 Mar 2008 11:07:52 -0400

Category: Documentaries �� Added: Sat, 22 Mar 2008 11:07:52 -0400 Description:

A strange tale of love and lust straight from the newspaper headlines, Mr. & Mrs. bin Laden tells the story of the fourth son of Osama bin Laden's controversial marriage to a British grandmother twice his age.
It was always the most unlikely of marriages: a 51-year-old grandmother and five-time divorcTe from Cheshire, to a 26-year-old Saudi man who already had a wife and child himself. The fact that the man Jane Felix Browne married was also the son of the world's most-wanted terrorist, and she is now Osama bin Laden's daughter-in-law, made the story almost unbelievable. But the truth about the relationship between Mrs. bin Laden and the young and severely smitten Omar bin Laden is wonderfully elusive. After all, Jane claimed that she knew from first glance that they would be married.
Filmmaker Lynn Alleway follows this unusual couple as they embark on a fresh start together. Omar talks about the burden of his last name, what he thinks about the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center and his feelings for his father. This is the first time that a close family member of Osama bin Laden has given an in-depth interview.

Reel Bad Arabs - How Hollywood Villifies a People

Sat, 22 Mar 2008 10:56:11 -0400

Category: Documentaries �� Added: Sat, 22 Mar 2008 10:56:11 -0400 Description:

Plot: This groundbreaking documentary dissects a slanderous aspect of cinematic history that has run virtually unchallenged form the earliest days of silent film to today's biggest Hollywood blockbusters. Featuring acclaimed author Dr. Jack Shaheen, the film explores a long line of degrading images of Arabs--from Bedouin bandits and submissive maidens to sinister sheikhs and gun-wielding "terrorists"--along the way offering devastating insights into the origin of these stereotypic images, their development at key points in US history, and why they matter so much today. Shaheen shows how the persistence of these images over time has served to naturalize prejudicial attitudes toward Arabs and Arab culture, in the process reinforcing a narrow view of individual Arabs and the effects of specific US domestic and international policies on their lives. By inspiring critical thinking about the social, political, and basic human consequences of leaving these Hollywood caricatures unexamined, the film challenges viewers to recognize the urgent need for counter-narratives that do justice to the diversity and humanity of Arab people and the reality and richness of Arab history and culture.

Sat, 22 Mar 2008 10:51:47 -0400

Category: Documentaries �� Added: Sat, 22 Mar 2008 10:51:47 -0400 Description:

The first film of its kind to chronicle the reasons behind Iraq's descent into guerilla war, warlord rule, criminality and anarchy, NO END IN SIGHT is a jaw-dropping, insider's tale of wholesale incompetence, recklessness and venality.
Based on over 200 hours of footage, the film provides a candid retelling of the events following the fall of Baghdad in 2003 by high ranking officials such as former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, Ambassador Barbara Bodine (in charge of Baghdad during the Spring of 2003), Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell, and General Jay Garner (in charge of the occupation of Iraq through May 2003), as well as Iraqi civilians, American soldiers and prominent analysts.
NO END IN SIGHT examines the manner in which the principal errors of U.S. policy - the use of insufficient troop levels, allowing the looting of Baghdad, the purging of professionals from the Iraqi government and the disbanding of the Iraqi military - largely created the insurgency and chaos that engulf Iraq today.

Afghanistan's Opium Trail

Sat, 22 Mar 2008 10:46:47 -0400

Category: Documentaries �� Added: Sat, 22 Mar 2008 10:46:47 -0400 Description:

In bleak Afghan villages, the lure of opium cultivation is clear. With no other viable alternative for farmers and no effective law enforcement by the Afghan police, growing poppies is the only way for locals to feed their hungry families. It is this opium that is sold to drug barons and their envoys, processed into heroin and then smuggled across borders.
In ever-increasing quantities, Afghanistan is flooding the world with heroin, supplying over 90 per cent of opium to the world market. Most startling is the effect on the country's youth, since the majority of Afghanistan's growing number of heroin addicts are under the age of 20. It is a problem that is further destabilizing the country by undermining tribal structures and traditions. In this shocking documentary, Afghanistan's Opium Trail takes viewers for a ride on the drug caravan-from cultivation, to process, to market and lifts the curtain on the hidden world of the drug barons.

Napoleon's Obsession - The Quest for Egypt

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 23:20:18 -0500

Category: Documentaries �� Added: Wed, 13 Feb 2008 23:20:18 -0500 Description:

"Napoleon's Obsession: The Quest for Egypt" details the real facts behind a little-known account in Napoleon's illustrious military career. Those who do know of the French leader's invasion of Egypt, and the so-called Battle of the Pyramids, may have fallen victim to one of the best public relations campaigns in history. As we learn in this documentary, hosted by renown Egyptologist Bob Brier, Bonaparte's attempt to conquer Eqypt was nothing short of an exercise in vanity. By 1798, General Bonaparte was looking for new military challenges after conquering Europe. He turned his sights on the historical and symbolic wealth of Egypt and The East. Economical with everything except the lives of his men, Bonaparte was ill prepared for this invasion and marched his troops from Alexandria through 130-degree desert heat in woolen uniforms and with very little water. He had small victories, including a melee against the defending Mamelukes of Cairo, which became know as the Battle of the Pyramids. In reality, it was fought in a melon patch miles from the city. On the whole, the campaign was disastrous; the French Fleet had a nasty encounter with Admiral Nelson, and the troops were stranded in Egypt without reinforcements or supplies. Napoleon's reaction? He commissioned paintings of victories and wrote glowing letters. He even returned to France a hero after sneaking out of Egypt in the middle of the night, leaving his men behind, and not even informing his second in command. Thankfully, Brier reminds us several times throughout the production of the practical contributions Napoleon made from this ill-conceived campaign. To Egypt he brought several artists, scholars and scientists and established the Institut de l'Egypte. Their work and the soldiers' looting led to the discovery of the Rosetta stone and the birth of modern Egyptology. But while these contributions are impressive, Bonaparte's campaign in Egypt included horrible atrocities against Turkish civilians, including the rape and slaughter of women and children in Jaffa, making Brier's awe of Bonaparte's legend almost comically ironic in retrospect. Still, it is Brier's enthusiasm that brings to life the many illustrations, some by Institut de l'Egypte's own Vivant Denon, which are combined with stunning footage of the Egyptian and Israeli landscapes. In addition, crisp editing by James Marshall and concise direction by Peter Spry-Leverton make for an informative and handsomely packed hour of entertainment.

The Hidden History of Egypt

Category: Documentaries �� Added: Mon, 04 Feb 2008 22:05:29 -0500 Description:

What did the Egyptians do when they weren't building pyramids, and just what are hieroglyphics about? Terry Jones - of Monty Python fame - learns that Egyptian women were on equal footing with men in all aspects of society, including wages and property ownership. Paper, papyrus, originated in Egypt, allowing for the development of the sciences, art and literature. These discoveries establish how attached to life the ancient Egyptians were and discards the supposition that because of their elaborate tombs, they were more focused on death and the afterlife. On this subject, and about this documentary in general, Jones said: "I'm not interested in this stuff; these are just the funeral arrangements of a megalomaniac who lived three and a half thousand years ago before they thought of cryogenic freezers. I want to know how ordinary people lived in ancient Egypt." And so the previously un-heralded life of the craftsmen, traders and laymen of ancient Egypt is explored in The Hidden History of Egypt.

(Aaron Russo)The process of discovery brought something much more dangerous and frightening to my attention...now I will bring it to yours. In 1913 America was a free country.
