Hidden Wars of Desert Storm looks at the origins of the Gulf War crisis and challenges the official Western "party-line" view of a spontaneous crusade for "Freedom & Democracy". Instead, the documentary exposes the White House and US State Department's hidden agenda in the Gulf as well as the Pentagon's use of radioactive ammunitions made of uranium 238. |

The Gulf War was the first testing ground for a new weapons material -- depleted uranium. In 1998, the Iraqi government claimed that depleted uranium (DU) had caused the Gulf War Syndrome among its population.The UK Atomic Energy Authority warned that, if particles from merely 8 per cent of the DU used in the Gulf were inhaled, there could be "300,000 potential deaths". Nato's own guidelines include: "Inhalation of insoluble depleted uranium dust particles has been associated with long-term health effects including cancers and birth defects." For the Iraqi people, however, the cover-up continues and most of the victims of DU have rated barely a mention. Tony Blair himself was sent, in March 1999, UN statistics, published in the British Medical Journal, showing a sevenfold increase in cancer in southern Iraq between 1989 and 1994. It is in southern Iraq that the theoretical figure of "500,000 potential deaths" can be applied, in a desert landscape where the dust gets in your eyes, nose and throat, swirling around people in the street and children in playgrounds |

John Pilger explores the mainstream media's inadequate response to Bush and Blair's war-mongering, and exposes the complicity of liberal western ciphers in perpetuating the double-standards of the powerful. Having ignored the effects of sustained sanctions on the Iraqi people, the media is justifying a possible attack by focusing its attention solely on Saddam Hussein, rather than on the ordinary Iraqis who will inevitably suffer. |

Examines the detention and deportation of Arab and Muslim immigrants following the September 11 terrorist attacks through first-hand accounts from detainees and their families. After the September 11th attacks, more than 5000 people, mainly non-US nationals of South Asian or Middle Eastern origin, were taken into custody by the U.S. Justice Department and held indefinitely on grounds of national security. Muslim immigrants were subject to arbitrary arrest, secret detention, solitary confinement, and deportation. Many were denied access to legal representation and communication with their families. 'Persons of Interest' records their testimonials and experiences to provide a window into the human costs of the 'war on terror' |

POWER AND TERROR places the terrorist attacks in the context of American foreign intervention throughout the postwar decades - in Vietnam, Central America, the Middle East, and elsewhere. Beginning with the fundamental principle that the exercise of violence against civilian populations is terror, regardless of whether the perpetrator is a well-organized band of Muslim extremists or a powerful state, Chomsky - in stark and uncompromising terms - challenges the United States to apply to its own actions the moral standards it demands of others. |

Away from the glare of the media, in the most remote and dangerous parts of Afghanistan, US marines are on a mission to hunt down the Taliban. But in many places their security sweeps are proving counterproductive. More and more villagers are alleging they have been abused by marines. This is a disturbing exposé of American actions in Afghanistan. Journalist Carmela Baranowska spent three weeks embedded with the marines. She then returned in secret to document what was really happening. It’s a story of prisoners abused and villagers humiliated. This report prompted a US inquiry. |
