As Tibetan protesters take to the streets in the biggest and most bloody challenge to Chinese rule in nearly 20 years, Dispatches reports on the hidden reality of life under Chinese occupation after spending three months undercover, deep inside the region. Dozens are feared dead after the recent clashes and crackdown by Chinese troops, but with reporting so rigidly controlled from the region little is known of living conditions inside Tibet.
To make this film, Tibetan exile Tash Despa returns to the homeland he risked his life to escape 11 years ago, to carry out secret filming with award-winning, Bafta-nominated director Jezza Neumann (Dispatches Special: China's Stolen Children). Risking imprisonment and deportation, he uncovers evidence of the cultural genocide described by the Dalai Lama.
He finds the nomadic way of life being forcefully wiped out as native Tibetans are stripped of their land and livestock and are being resettled in concrete camps. Tibet reveals the regime of terror which dominates daily life and makes freedom of expression impossible. Tash meets victims of arbitrary arrests, detention, torture and disappearances and uncovers evidence of enforced sterilisations on ethnic Tibetan women.
He sees for himself the impact of the enormous military and police presence in the region, and the hunger and hardship being endured by many Tibetans, and hears warnings of the uprising taking place across the provinces now.

Heartbreaking documentary on the genocide in Darfur. It shows how the radical islamic government of Khartoum through a web of lies, alliances and deceit, have succeded in halting and postponing intervention from UN troops to stop the large scale genocide, still going on this very minute. When dealing with these people one should not even listen to what they say, but simply assume that they are practicing the age-old islamic virtue of al-taqiyya i.e. lying for the benefit of islam.
Among the reasons they succeded in stalling international intervention, was (correct me if I am wrong):
1. Oil deals with china and support from the arab league in the UN
2. Ethnic cleansing of more moderate black muslims, alongside the expulsion and killings of all the non-muslims. This made the ethnic cleansing unclean in the eyes of the UN, with evergrowing demands of evidence from the arab league, supporting the case for a clean ethnic cleansing instead of a mere civil war.
3. Arming the paramilitant sadist arab looters of janjaweed, thereby diverting attention from the islamic government as such. This is a typical trick of many islamic and terrorist organisations to avoid blame.

It is especially appalling to see how sudanese immigrants even here in the US are plantet at conferences, to shed doubt upon the obvious in order to prevent intervention.
If you have the opportunity, please recommend this documentary to your friends and family.

History Channel's The Kings: From Babylon To Baghdad

The region now known as Iraq has always been, in many ways, world history's ground zero. From this rich territory sprang the earliest cities and empires, earliest armies, and earliest tyrants.

Maintaining THE HISTORY CHANNEL® standard for comprehensiveness and entertainment, this feature-length documentary explores the connections and relevance between ancient and modern Iraq and between Iraq and the rest of the planet.

Using dialogue drawn directly from primary sources - original texts of ancient records - THE KINGS depicts events in dramatic, living reenactments. Lush cinematography filmed on location frames the dramatizations and contemporary reportage. And interviews with the world's leading experts on the historical and current relevance of Iraq complete this authoritative portrait of the men who brought this fabled land glory and despair.

Today, as it has been many times in the past, understanding Iraq is central to the world's well-being. THE KINGS: FROM BABYLON TO BAGHDAD offers a thorough, thought-provoking view into the politics, personalities, government, geography, culture and religion of this all-important region.

Dark Side of the Moon is a French documentary by director William Karel which ...originally aired on Arte in 2002 with the title Operation Lune. The basic premise for the film is the theory that the television footage from the Apollo 11 Moon landing was faked and actually recorded in a studio by the CIA with help from director Stanley Kubrick. It features some surprising guest appearances, most notably by Donald Rumsfeld, Dr. Henry Kissinger, Alexander Haig, Buzz Aldrin and Stanley Kubrick's widow, Christiane Kubrick. The tone of the documentary begins with low key revelations of NASA working closely with Hollywood at the time of the Moon landings. Over the course of the tale, Karel postulates that not only did Kubrick help the USA fake the moon landings but that he was eventually killed by the CIA to cover up the truth. First hand testimony backing these claims come from Rumsfeld and Dr. Kissinger, which lend credence to the story.
