Targets - Reporters In Iraq

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 19:54:05 -0400

Category: Documentaries �� Added: Fri, 11 Apr 2008 19:54:05 -0400 Description:

Never before have journalists been the target of violence to the degree they are now in Iraq. This documentary looks at how kidnappings and decapitations have become a real threat to those practicing this profession.
The Iranian-Canadian documentary filmmaker and news correspondent Maziar Bahari discusses the effect violence has had on the lives of journalists, and how it influences their work. Correspondent Hannah Allam explains to what extent violence has penetrated her life. Her interpreter's family was murdered and a colleague was shot at an American checkpoint.
Nevertheless, Hannah continues with her work, albeit with very limited freedom of movement.Canadian journalist Scott Taylor was abducted and tortured in Iraq. Still, he travels back to Iraq, but this time embedded, to tell the soldiers about his experiences and to confront one of his kidnappers.
Also featured in Targets: Reporters In Iraq is Giuliana Sgrena, the Italian journalist whose rescuer died during her ride to freedom and the Frenchman Christian Chesnot who was also abducted.

What would you do if America was invaded? MEETING RESISTANCE raises the veil of anonymity surrounding the Iraqi insurgency by meeting face to face with individuals who are passionately engaged in the struggle, and documenting for the very first time, the sentiments experienced and actions taken by a nation's citizens when their homeland is occupied. Voices that have previously not been heard, male and female, speak candidly about their motivations, hopes and goals, revealing a kaleidoscope of human perspectives. Featuring reflective, yet fervent conversations with active insurgents, MEETING RESISTANCE is the missing puzzle piece in understanding the Iraq war. Directed by Steve Connors and Molly Bingham, this daring, eye-opening film provides unique insight into the personal narratives of people involved in the resistance exploding myth after myth about the war in Iraq and the Iraqis who participate. Through its unprecedented access to these clandestine groups, MEETING RESISTANCE focuses the spotlight on the "other side", clarifying why the violence in Iraq continues to this day and providing a deeper understanding of both the toll of occupation and the human condition of resistance.
Winner of multiple awards, worth watching! Arabic with English Sub.

Surplus - Terrorized Into Being Consumers

this is an ISO file of the commercial DVD, menus, etc)
This movie is also offered here in AVI format with additional files for English and French subtitles (*.srt), for those who don't want to download the DVD format, large file size.
Why is the lifestyle of consumerism a source of such rage today? How come the privilege of buying goods does not automatically lead to happiness? Why all this emptiness despite our wealth?
Erik Gandini's approach through Surplus is to portray this issue from an emotional rather than a factual perspective.
Shot in the US, India, China, Italy, Sweden, Hungary, Canada and Cuba during three years. Surplus is the result of a complicated editing process by talented music composer/editor/percussionist Johan Söderberg.
George W Bush's famous "shopping-speech" calling for a war against terrorism that deters the nation from the fear of consumption. Castro responding with hymns to the anti-consumerist, advertising-free island of Cuba. Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer preaching that the computer will give us peace on earth "bringing people together" while Adbuster Kalle Lasn warns that advertising pollutes us mentally, that over-consumption is unsustainable and that we are running out of oil.
Surplus main man is John Zerzan, controversial philosopher whose call for PROPERTY DAMAGE has inspired many to take to the streets. "That is not violence. Sitting there doing dope and watching MTV . Then you go and get a job. Just schlep along. To me that is violence," says Zerzan. "We are terrorized into being consumers."
In November 2003 Surplus was awarded with the most prestigious prize a Documentary can get, The Silver Wolf at Amsterdam's IDFA, and has spread widely around the globe since then.
"... This film about consumerism totally consumed us. It used the language of music video, propaganda and commercial advertising as a response to the forces of globalisation. It fights fire with fire. The questions it raises are ultimately more important than any answers it might suggest. And we believe audiences can only profit from the debate that will ensue. For its originality, sense of humour, irony, forcefulness and visual virtuosity, the Silver Wolf Award goes to SURPLUS." The Jury of the International Documentary Filmfestival in Amsterdam, Nov.2003.

The Trials of Henry Kissinger

Sun, 09 Mar 2008 03:06:28 -0400

Category: Documentaries �� Added: Sun, 09 Mar 2008 03:06:28 -0400 Description:

"The War Against the Trird World"; "PBS The Secret Government" and this documentary fill out a good primer for anyone who wants to know what US foreign policy is REALLY all about. IMHO
"Henry Kissinger is a war criminal," says firebrand journalist Christopher Hitchens. "He's a liar. And he's personally responsible for murder, for kidnapping, for torture." What is Hitchens on about? He could be talking about the lawsuit currently under way in Washington DC, in which Kissinger is charged with having authorised the assassination of a Chilean general in 1970. Or he could be referring to the secret bombing of Cambodia which, arguably, Kissinger engineered without the knowledge of the US Congress in 1969. Or perhaps Kissinger's involvement in the sale of U.S. weapons to Indonesian President Suharto for use in the massacre of 1/3 of the population of East Timor in 1975.
These and several other recent charges have cast a haunting shadow on the reputation of a man long seen as the most famous diplomat of his age, the Nobel Laureate who secured peace in Vietnam, who secretly opened relations between the US and China, and who now, more than a quarter-century out of office, remains a central player on the world stage, only recently voted the number one public intellectual of the 20th century.
Featuring previously unseen footage, newly declassified US government documents, and revealing interviews with key insiders to the events in question, The Trials of Henry Kissinger examines the charges facing him, shedding light on a career long shrouded in secrecy. In part, it explores how a young boy who fled Nazi Germany grew up to become one of the most powerful men in US history and now, in the autumn of his life, one of its most disputed figures.
It is at once an unauthorised biography and a look at the sparks that fly when an honoured American statesman is charged with war crimes. The film tackles the question of whether principles of international law applied by Americans to their enemies are applicable to Americans, or whether these laws are only written for the losers of conflicts.
The Trials of Henry Kissinger in the courts of law and public opinion will begin to answer this question.
THE TRIALS OF HENRY KISSINGER, a documentary based on the book by British journalist Christopher Hitchens, argues that Kissinger, the former U.S. Secretary of State and the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, was a power-hungry warmonger responsible for massive military cover-ups in Vietnam, Cambodia, and East Timor in the 1960s, as well as the assassination of a Chilean leader in 1970. The film includes interviews with historians, political analysts, and such notable journalists as the New York Times' William Safire--a former speech writer for Richard Nixon. In addition, it uses archival footage from the Nixon era, including coverage of events both in Washington and in Vietnam. With narrator Brian Cox guiding the flow of the film and keeping it tightly focused on its arguments, THE TRIALS OF HENRY KISSINGER is shocking in its political revelations and fascinating in its portrait of Kissinger. It was directed by Eugene Jarecki and written by Alex Gibney.
Part contemporary investigation and part historical inquiry, documentary follows the quest of one journalist in search of justice. The film focuses on Christopher Hitchens' charges against Henry Kissinger as a war criminal - allegations documented in Hitchens' book of the same title - based on his role in countries such as Cambodia, Chile, and Indonesia. Kissinger's story raises profound questions about American foreign policy and highlights a new era of human rights. Increasing evidence about one man's role in a long history of human rights abuses leads to a critical examination of American diplomacy through the lens of international standards of justice. Written by Sujit R. Varma
The film focuses on Henry Kissinger and his role in America's secret bombing of Cambodia in 1969, the approval of Indonesia's genocidal assault on East Timor in 1975, the assassination of a Chilean general in 1970, and his involvement in the 1969 Paris peace talks concerning the Vietnam Conflict.

Producer/director/editor: James Longley
(Arab Film Distribution, 2002)
31 July 2002
by Lesley Smith

Forgotten by History
At a time when news organizations have hijacked cinema vérité to bolster editorializing and sanctify prurient voyeurism, American filmmaker James Longley snatches it back as a compelling storytelling tool in his 2001 documentary, Gaza Strip. During Ariel Sharon's election, Longley spent several months filming what Geoffrey Wheatcroft, writing in the New York Times Book Review (8 September 2002), has called, "the full pathos of the situation of the Palestinians, a people forgotten by history who found themselves involuntarily caught up in another people's great drama."
The film unfolds in Gaza city, the refugee camp at Khan Younis, and the southern settlement of Rafah. In this, Longley offers no pretense of even-handedness. He is partisan to the Palestinian plight in the most literal sense, and his film demonstrates the symbiotic bond (a kind of intellectual Stockholm syndrome) that can arise so easily between empathetic investigator and sympathetic subject.
Yet he also brings into the air-conditioned cinemas of the West the unseen ordinariness of Palestinian aspirations and, perhaps more importantly, the unimagined difficulties of daily life (like hanging out washing or crossing the city where one lives). He captures a world where a 13-year-old can talk world-wearily of school as something he attended "when I was small."
Gaza Strip charts the liminal zones of a divided land where childhood curiosity and adolescent rebellion can have deadly consequences. Longley constructs, through the eloquent editing of sound and vision, a riveting particularity so vivid that it transcends its physical borders to illuminate "everyday" life in divided cities, territories, and countries across the globe.
This careful construction begins with the story of Mohammed Hijazi, a barely teen-aged newspaper-seller who supports his family and whose passion is for an independent Palestine. As he does for individuals throughout the film, Longley tells Mohammed's story in rhythmic pulses. He cuts back and forth between Mohammed's life on the street, his early morning gatherings with other politically disillusioned newsboys and his stone-throwing excursions to Israeli checkpoints. Each scene is narrated via an extended interview that includes Mohammed's description of his best friend's death from Israeli bullets and the terror that drove his own father to beat him and tie him up at home to prevents Mohammed from joining the stone-throwing crowds.
Mohammed's cogency, stripped of glibness, and colored with an adolescent bravura and cynicism, establishes credibility for the young people whom Longley chooses as his foci in the film. The degree of suffering Mohammed recounts bleeds authenticity into subsequent interviews, compelling the viewer to believe that every youthful face hides a backstory like Mohammed's. And many of them do. These almost-adolescents describe in sensual detail (first white, then black, with the aroma of sugar and mint) the experience of the "tear gas" that sent more than two hundred Palestinians to the hospital in acute neurological crisis. Or they recount from tents the nighttime bulldozing of the homes on whose rubble they now sit. And between all these takes of horror these youth also begin to shine as flesh-and-blood inhabitants of a real world.
Longley substantiates their ordinariness (in an extraordinary situation) through his own courage in hanging out, camera in hand, when Israeli soldiers and Palestinian teenagers clash. He is able to let viewers see that these teenagers share the same playfulness, fallibility and frailty as young people anywhere else in the world, only in a deadly situation. He reveals how checkpoints become social gathering points at the end of the working day, or on the way home from school, where youth and patriotism make a deadly mix. Half excited at provoking a response, and half terrorized by potential consequences, a group of youngsters in the second half of the film scatters under crackling Israeli fire only to reassemble moments later. Two of the older teenagers climb casually back onto the wall from which they evoked the first flurry of bullets. They may be provoking their enemy, but they are also establishing their cool, an act as recognizable in suburban America as it is in Khan Younis.
The longeurs in this film come only when Longley tries too hard to plunge his audience into the psychological intensity of life in Gaza via a discordant arty-ness. He over does his footage of a nighttime attack over Gaza, falling into MTV clich?s, like jump cuts, motion-blur slo-mo images, and distorted frames. A similar sequence of Israeli bulldozers plowing into Palestinian buildings, which is more fragmented, more distant and much less processed, is much more chilling.
The same caveat applies to the soundtrack: in most places, it's an eerie amalgam of street noise, muffled conversation and Mr. Longley's own compositions, with natural sound used for emphasis, but sometimes it resembles, in its electronic distortions, a late-Happenings soundtrack rerun from the sixties. But these visual and sound affects are only missteps, detracting temporarily from the film's power.
That power raises one last, but inevitable, question about this film. How important is it that Gaza Strip offers only one side, and only partially at that, of the story? No Palestinian politicians, no security forces, no Hamas or Islamic Jihad. No Israelis beyond the pixilated newsprint images of Sharon and Ehud Barak. While the sources of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict lie far back in the disorderly disintegration of first the Ottoman and then the British Empires, most news coverage never stretches back beyond a brief mention of the 1967 war. More, and more informed, historical and political context is desperately needed.
But necessary, too, are the pen portraits, the focus on the individual life, and its nights and days of frustration and anxiety, which communicate more personally. Longley neither pretends to be impartial nor apologizes for his sympathies, and pays his potential audience the compliment of confidence in their intelligence and reason. He presumes that we can see and appreciate his portrait of the families of Gaza as only one contribution to the world's scant knowledge of the human cost of "the Middle East crisis."

911 Press for Truth

Sun, 03 Feb 2008 04:07:13 -0500

Category: Documentaries �� Added: Sun, 03 Feb 2008 04:07:13 -0500 Description:

This film is necessary to watch if someone wants to know what facts were left out of the official 9/11 Commission Report. While steering clear of conspiracy theories and "what-if" scenarios, this film nonetheless explains much of what has been missing from our national discussion about the terrorist events of that day.
Much of the content is based on author Paul Thompson's The Complete 9/11 Timeline, a piecing-together of almost entirely main-stream media stories related to 9/11. The press for truth begins after a brief and respectful sequence showing New Yorkers reacting to the attacks, the collapse of the North Tower, and memorial ceremonies. At that point we meet the Jersey Girls : Patty Casazza, Mindy Kleinberg, Lorie Van Auken and Kristen Breitweiser all lost their husbands on September 11, 2001. They came together initially for mutual support. Quickly, they formed the core of a larger group of 911 survivors demanding an investigation. Casazza describes her frustration when she realized that the Bush administration would seek no formal investigation. "That' when I went into angry," she says.
Their demands for a thorough investigation, the many unanswered questions, and the resistance of the information gatekeepers form the narrative that carries the film forward. The twists and turns offer a fascinating and compelling collection of major stories (or dots) that have never been connected.
One question is why it took so long before any air defense was mounted on 9/11. For example, how in the world could a hijacked airliner slam into the Pentagon of all places, long after other hijacked airliners slammed into the WTC, without being either: intercepted, rendezvoused with, chased, followed, shot at, videoed, or even photographed by our trillion-dollar air defenses? We then see a 1999 newscast describing the rapid response by six Air Force jets to a suspicious private plane over Florida. This type of response is standard operating procedure. The point is obvious; the question devastating. How can a mystery jet over Florida get a quicker response than an attack on the United States?
The film continues with the formation of the 9/11 Commission. The Jersey Girls are immediately incensed when the ultimate gatekeeper, Henry Kissinger, is appointed to head the commission. When they meet with him, a Jersey Girl asks if Kissinger's consulting firm has any Saudi Arabian clients named bin Laden. This question had the intended effect. Kissinger announced he could not take the position.
During commission hearings, we see the vivid reactions of 9/11 family members as Condoleezza Rice down plays the August 2001 President's Daily Briefing: Bin Laden determined to strike in US. Then we see their relief and open armed reception of Richard Clarke. Clarke was in charge of the White House response group on 9/11. He tells the commission and families that both he and the government failed that day and then offers the first apology for that failure. The contrast presented between Clarke's humility and dignity versus Rice's insouciance approaches poetic.
Author, activist, and former CIA official Ray McGovern appears briefly to make a key point. In any intelligence investigation, McGovern tells us, 80% of the information is freely available and in the public domain. The process of connecting the information and making it meaningful is a task that often goes undone. In this film, it's clear that that challenging task had to be undertaken by 9/11 survivors and motivated citizen-researchers themselves.
The questions continue. They are presented through a combination of survivor statements, news clips, comments from reporters like Dan Rather, and press from around the world. This results in highly provocative and revealing questions on the story of our time. While there are no clear answers, there are clear paths to knowledge.
For example, what relationship did the 9/11 attacks have with the subsequent invasion of Afghanistan? While this seemed like an interruption in the flow of the film, it quickly turned into a gold mine of dots that began to form a pattern. Why did the chief of Pakistan's intelligence service, in Washington, DC on 9/11, wire $100,000 to terrorist figure connected to the 9/11 plotters? Why are Pakistani and al Qaeda training camps almost indistinguishable? Why was bin Laden essentially allowed to walk away form Tora Bora, Afghanistan when he was about to be captured? Why were thousands of Taliban members airlifted to Pakistan after their defeat? Why did a key CIA commander in Afghanistan resign two years before his official retirement in order to tell his story about the failure to capture bin Laden?
The film concludes with an edited sequence of an ABC television producer talking about the restrictions on investigative film making with Leonard Downie, Executive Editor of the Washington Post. We're told by the ABC producer that good stories are often either discouraged or spiked (not shown). We then hear Downie make the remarkable argument that the job of the working press is to present discrete stories. He tells us that the act of connecting those stories is really an "editorial" function and the responsibility of the public. This was a truly eye opening moment.
The film was directed by Ray Nowosielski and written by John Duffy and Kyle Hence. Paul Thompson's book, The Complete 9/11 Timeline, formed the basis for much of the narrative, and Larisa Alexandrovna of Raw Story was a key consultant. Overall, this film is a remarkable artistic statement that transcends ideology and operates at the highest level of intellectual honesty, humanity, and patriotism.
