Paradise Now: The story places two close friends, Palestinians Said and Khaled, recruited by an militant group to carry out an attack in Tel-Aviv. However, things go wrong and both friends must separate at the border. One of them, maintaining in his purpose of carrying on the attack to the end, and the other will have his doubts about it.
Something goes wrong at the crossing, they're separated, and the action is postponed, long enough for renewed questioning of what they're about to do. Suha, the well-educated and well-traveled daughter of a martyr, challenges the action. She likes Said and has her own ideas. "Under the occupation, we're already dead," is Khaled's analysis. Fate and God's will seem to drive Said. We must be moral, argues Suha. Can minds change?

McLibel is the story of two ordinary people who humiliated McDonald's in the biggest corporate PR disaster in history. McDonald's loved using the UK libel laws to suppress criticism. Major media organisations like the BBC and The Guardian crumbled and apologised. But then they sued gardener Helen Steel and postman Dave Morris. In the longest trial in English legal history, the "McLibel Two" represented themselves against McDonald's £10 million legal team. Every aspect of the corporation's business was cross-examined: from junk food and McJobs, to animal cruelty, environmental damage and advertising to children.
McLibel is not just about hamburgers. It is about the importance of freedom of speech now that multinational corporations are more powerful than countries. Filmed over ten years by no-budget Director Franny Armstrong, McLibel is the David and Goliath story of two people who refused to say sorry. And in doing so, changed the world. |

There are years when nothing happens and then days that change the course of History. From September 2002 to May 2003 we met with intellectuals, journalists, university professors, writers, historians, political analysts, international observers, human rights organizations, civil rights fighters, religious leaders, peace and anti war activists, asking questions to understand these years in which we are living and try to put together the many pieces of a complicated puzzle. The picture that comes alive is – to paraphrase James Baldwin – “longer, larger, more various, more beautiful, and more terrible than anything anyone has ever said about it”.

This documentary examines the Bolivarian Revolution of Venezuela and its
links to the world-wide movement against capitalist globalization. The
film shows the evolution of the popular movement in Venezuela from the "Caracazo"
riots of 1989 to the massive actions that brought revolutionary
president Hugo Chavez back to power, 48 hours after a U.S.-led military
coup in 2002. 
In this
episode from 1981 the program deals with the republican hungerstrike of
that year from a British viewpoint and castigates what they term the
propaganda machine of the Republican prisoners and their supporters on
the outside. Includes interesting footage of the funeral and wake of
INLA Volunteer Patsy O'Hara.
Outside the courtroom, Dave brought up his young
son alone and Helen supported herself working nights in a bar.

A visit from Ronald McDonald. Top executives flying to London for secret
