The only TV documentary to have a preview of the biggest Wikileaks release ever. This is what really happened during the Iraq war, not what the US PR machine of the time wanted us to believe. The reality behind the civilian death count; al-Qaeda's fictitious presence; torture, torture and more torture. A wall of truth revealing unprecedented levels of unwarranted aggression. "The detainee was blindfolded, beaten about the feet and head, electricity was applied to his genitals, and he was sodomized with a water bottle". These secret US military files from 2004-2009 record 300 acts of torture perpetrated on Iraqi prisoners; all after the world gasped at images of grinning US soldiers holding naked Iraqis on leashes. Far from winning the hearts and minds of the people, coalition forces have killed so many civilians, that insurgency has sky-rocketed. The air force launches Hellfire missiles at men with their arms raised in surrender, and at goat herders digging for roots.

An opus in three parts, Iraq In Fragments offers a series of intimate, passionately-felt portraits: A fatherless 11-year-old is apprenticed to the domineering owner of a Baghdad garage; Sadr followers in two Shiite cities rally for regional elections while enforcing Islamic law at the point of a gun; a family of Kurdish farmers welcomes the US presence, which has allowed them a measure of freedom previously denied them.

Elections Under Threat is a video documentary about the recent parliamentary elections in Iran. Produced for Aljazeera English, the documentary shows a side of Iranian politics rarely seen in the Western media. The film portrays the everyday people of Iran as well as the candidates running for Parliament as they debate and discuss the relevance of these elections, their economic conditions and the international pressures on their nation.

How U.S. military occupation looks from the other end of the gun barrel. Was Abu Ghraib an exception or merely an extreme? How has Iraq changed since the fall of Saddam? What is life like under occupation? On-the-ground footage shows the humiliation and dehumanization inevitable in a colonial situation.

This highly kinetic tableaux of uprooted sights and sounds works most earnestly to expose the racial biases concealed in familiar images. Relying on valuable snippets from feature films such as Exodus, Lawrence of Arabia, Black Sunday, Little Drummer Girls, and network news shows, the filmmakers have constructed an oddly wry narrative, mimicking the history of Mid East politics.

Evangelical spot of New Tribe Mission (ntm.org): “Millions of men, women and children, tribal people all across the world, in remote, never-before reached places of the Earth, ISOLATED, with NO ACCESS of Salvation in Jesus. Living in Darkness...”

The World Tribunal on Iraq: Reflexions on War

An invaluable record of the crimes committed by the United States and its “Coalition of the Willing” partners in the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Iraqi witnesses and experts in international law, human rights, science, culture and history testified for three days before an international “Jury of Conscience” that included Arundhati Roy (India), Eve Ensler (U.S.), Chandra Muzaffar (Malaysia), Dumisa Nsebeza (South Africa), Francois Houtart (Belgium), and Taty Almeida (Argentina).
