About the film :
There were
two wars going on in Iraq ‑ one was fought with armies of
soldiers, bombs and fearsome military force. The other was
fought alongside it with cameras, satellites, armies of
journalists and propaganda techniques. One was was
rationalized as an effort to find and disarm WMI)s ‑ Weapons
of Mass Destruction ; the other was carried out by even more
powerful WMDs, Weapons of Mass Deception.
The TV
networks in America considered their non‑stop coverage their
finest hour, pointing to the use of embedded journalists and
new technologies that permitted viewers to see a war up
close for the first time. But different countries saw
different wars.....

End of Dialogue
Doc./ 1 6mm/45mins./Col./UK |
A film
shot mostly by five young black South African members of the
Pan Africanist Congress and was smuggled out of South
Africa. In 1969 a group of South African Exiles and film
students who formed a charitable trust, Morena films, helped
to edit the film and have produced a 45 minute documentary.
About the Film :
"Black
children must never be allowed to look on the green pastures
where they will never graze."
The story
of Apartheid in South Africa, 1970. The film shows some of
the facts about apartheid from the point of view of the
victims ‑ the South African blacks, deliberately avoiding a
sensational presentation. The filmmakers approach is low key
and relies for effect on the stark presentation of facts.
Apart from the brutalities that are recorded in press from
time to time, they have tried to show the mental violence
where the victim is forced to participate in his own torture
in the form of daily harassment, complete denial of human
dignity, the hopelessness....
The film
has won several awards at prestigious international film
festivals of the world including the Oberhausen.

Factor: Behind The War on Terror

Production
Free Will Productions
About the Film
According
to O.E.C.D. data, the Middle‑East holds 70% of the world's
oil reserves while North America and Europe will run out of
oil in 2010 at their current rate of production. Current
technologies might provide alternatives to oil for energy
but not to oil for plastics.
Was
invading Iraq and Afghanistan really meant to reduce
terrorist threats against the United States or was it a ploy
to guarantee that the average American can go on for a
little while consuming 4 times more energy that the average
European or 32 times more energy than the average African?

the White Sands missile range, the world's first atomic bomb

forces of nature creating means for its destruction. The
film explores these opposing forces..

Made by :

About the film :
The 20th
century was the bloodiest in world history. During this
humanity was introduced to the concept of a 'World War', for
the first time. Token together world wars I & 11 resulted in
a total of 65 million people losing their lives. About half
of these casualties were civilians who had nothing to do
with these wars. So one might ask how did the world find
itself in the midst of such colossal insanity.
This film is based on the works of Harun Yahya
