An endless amount of television presenters morph into one resulting in an incomprehensible and bewitching flood of information.
Though they would eventually kidnap him, the Taliban granted journalist Paul Refsdal unprecedented access. This exclusive documentary shows us a side of the Taliban we have never seen before. Today, the Taliban seem to survive mainly on conviction: "We belong to God and fear no-one". From their mountain hideout, they ambush the daily American convoys, descending into joyous shouts of "Allah Akhbar", when a truck is hit. But a hit on target is rare. And the Americans' response is swift and deadly: a US gunship kills Commander Dawran's second-in command, and Refsdal is told to flee and to return in a month. Dawran escapes unharmed, but his two children are killed.

The shocking truth about the erosion of our fundamental civil liberties by Tony Blair's government. The Right to Protest, the Right to Freedom of Speech. The Right to Privacy. The Right not to be detained without charge, Innocent Until Proven Guilty. Prohibition from Torture. Taking Liberties will reveal how these six central pillars of liberty have been systematically destroyed by New Labour, and the freedoms of the British people stolen from under their noses amidst a climate of fear created by the media and the government itself. Irreverent but revelatory, outrageous but true, the program combines these real stories of the loss of liberty with never-before-seen footage, cheeky stunts and comment from leading politicians, celebrities, human rights organisations, academics and lawyers, which all add up to make Taking Liberties one of the most explosive and controversial films of the decade.
UntitledThe home of the Palestinian person today, is no longer defined by geographic borders; “Take Me Home” is an observational first person pilgrimage introducing a unique person, Watfa, who carries with her the legacy of a family. A dispersed Palestinian family, who helped establish revolutionary movements, at times when the Arab world's faith in the individual's freedom and autonomy was self-evident. The director questions her personal fears, and desperately clings on to the resonance of intimate moments shared with her grandmother and great aunt; a passing generation whose hope has been continuously challenged by decades of oppression and conflict.
