Schindler's List: 25 Years Later

October 2018 •English

Perhaps Steven Spielberg's best movie! The amazing story of Oskar Schindler, who saved more than 3500 Jews from death during World War II. He bribed the Nazis to allow the 3500 to work in his bomb factory and thus support the war effort, they thought. As it happened, all of the bombs that they produced were duds! Watch the movie with a box of tissues because it hits you with the full horror of Nazi Germany. In spite of everything, Schindler heroically shields his 3500 from being killed. They would survive, and Schindler would end up penniless. These survivors supported Schindler financially until his death, 30 years later. Oskar Schindler is buried in Israel's Mount Zion Cemetary, in the section reserved for those who rescued Jews from the Holocaust. Fifty years after WWII, Schindler was named "Righteous Among the Nations" for his heroism.

Record On: New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies

January 2023 •English

Featuring interviews with New Order's Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert, Record On: Power, Corruption and Lies unravels the creative process behind New Order's 1983 album, Power, Corruption and Lies as well as standalone single Blue Monday and explores the themes inside the album, of a band finding new direction and moving on from its past. Taking inspiration for their evolving sound from New York's new-wave clubs of the early 1980s and newly acquired sequencers and keyboards, electronic instrumentation quickly drove New Order's songwriting process, conceiving global smash-hit Blue Monday. This film also explores the impact of the technological shifts that took place in the early 1980s as the digital-age began to percolate through all parts of society - from commerce and financial trading, to offices and home entertainment; with contributions from graphic designer Peter Saville, Blue Monday producer Michael Johnson and American record producer Arthur Baker.

Gaza

October 2024 •English

This feature length investigation by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit exposes Israeli war crimes in the Gaza Strip through the medium of photos and videos posted online by Israeli soldiers themselves during the year long conflict. The I-Unit has built up a database of thousands of videos, photos and social media posts. Where possible it has identified the posters and those who appear. The material reveals a range of illegal activities, from wanton destruction and looting to the demolition of entire neighbourhoods and murder. The film also tells the story of the war through the eyes of Palestinian journalists, human rights workers and ordinary residents of the Gaza Strip. And it exposes the complicity of Western governments – in particular the use of RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus as a base for British surveillance flights over Gaza.

Winning New Hampshire

October 2004 •English

Every four years, the citizens of the United States of America perform their most sacred national duty: electing a President to lead the country. For the last five decades, the fiercely independent residents of one small Northeastern state have played a vital role in this search. Before the election, before the conventions, before a presumptive nominee is chosen, there is New Hampshire . Winning New Hampshire is the 2004 edition of this American tradition. The film captures the essence of the New Hampshire Primary, what it takes to win, the effects of the media and the new political youth movement. With a focus on the John Kerry Campaign, the winner of both the New Hampshire Primary and the Democratic Nomination, Winning New Hampshire provides an experience of this extraordinary political phenomenin and presents a distinctly new perspective of the Presidential selection process.
