Makhmalbaf has his own film school, and his wife and daughter have released extraordinary films under his tutelage. Kiarostami has helped out new filmmakers like Jafar Panahi by contributing story ideas and taking &quot;story&quot; credit on films like &quot;The White Balloon&quot; and the recent &quot;Crimson Gold.&quot; &nbsp; Less familiar in the US, filmmaker Ali Reza Raisian also gets a little help from Kiarostami for his latest film, &quot;The Deserted Station.&quot; &nbsp; It could be that Kiarostami has the magical touch. His films often consist of simple ideas that can be easily explained in a one or two-sentence pitch, and yet when you sit down to them, they grow much more complex and much more truthful than expected. &nbsp; &quot;The Deserted Station&quot; follows the adventures of an Iranian couple, a photographer husband (Nezam Manouchehri) and a schoolteacher wife (Leila Hatami). The wife has retired due to some unknown sickness or weariness, and the couple now makes a cross-country journey by truck to Tehran. &nbsp; When their truck breaks down, the husband walks to the nearest town, a dismal little place devoid of men; they are all off working in the cities. One man, Feizollah (Mehran Rajabi) stays behind to take charge of the local school. He's also a mechanic and a farmer. Feizollah accompanies the husband to help fix the abandoned truck while the wife temporarily takes over the class. &nbsp; It's a simple enough setup, but Raisian packs so much into it that multiple viewings may be necessary. When the couple's truck breaks down, it's because they swerved to avoid hitting a deer or some kind of fleet-footed beast. But everyone tells them that no deer live anywhere near there. At the same time, a pregnant sheep wails in pain in a room underneath the schoolhouse; she's been in labor for two days. When the lamb comes in the middle of the day, it's stillborn. &nbsp; One of the children in the school is a deformed little girl who can't walk on her own and must be carried. Another of the children can't come to class without shirking his duties in his family's cornfield. Many of these details circle around back to issues of birth and death and the fear surrounding both. &nbsp; We come to know so much about this little village in a ludicrously short amount of time. The photographer learns all about the jack-of-all-trades Feizollah and his utterly selfless care for the well-being of his village (he does admit from time to time that he's looking for good karma points for the afterlife), while the wife becomes attached to all the little children and each of their funny little faults. &nbsp; Credit should go to both Kiarostami and Raisian for another powerful, beautiful female character in an industry that very seldom recognizes such things. When we first meet the wife, she's asleep in the truck. Her husband lovingly photographs her and tells her how beautiful she is. Later we come to see her patience, intelligence and care for the schoolchildren. Even her nightmares and her deepest fears come to light during a hide-and-seek game aboard an abandoned train. Usually if women are the centerpiece of an Iranian film, it's to underline their suffering. But with Kiarostami's recent &quot;Ten&quot; and this new film, things appear to be changing for the better. &nbsp; Kiarostami has always cooked up powerfully affecting endings for his works, and &quot;The Deserted Station&quot; is no exception. When it comes time to leave the village, the husband and wife attempt to drive off, but the children do something extraordinary. I can't describe it without taking its force away. &nbsp; It's a near-great film, but I'm not sure if &quot;The Deserted Station&quot; quite attains greatness. Raisian's mise-en-scene doesn't quite have the rhythmic punch that Kiarostami or Panahi have and his use of space and terrain isn't quite as polished or poetic. (Consider Kiarostami's brilliant use of these elements to enhance the emotional impact of &quot;Where Is the Friend's Home?&quot; and &quot;The Wind Will Carry Us.&quot;) &nbsp; PLEASE SEED AND ENJOY!!!<br /> <font size="3"><b>Seeders: </b></font>1<br /> <font size="3"><b>Leeches: </b></font>4 1 4 http://onebigtorrent.org/details.php?id=4439 <font size="3"><b>Category:</b></font> Documentary<br /><font size="3"><b>Description:</b><br /></font> Originally by announced by ognir2 http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3653887/Kill_the_Messenger_-_Al-Qaeda_and_the_FBI_(XviD) http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3816260/Documentary_-_Kill_the_Messenger_-_911__9_11__Sibel_Edmonds__Al- Education thru Information http://conspiracycentral.net:6969 http://conspiracycentral.info (Educational & Conspiracy Forums) Air Date: 03/27/2007 Rel Date: 03/28/2007 This documentary reveals how a foreign spy ring with links to Al-Qaeda has been discovered working within the FBI.

Sibel Edmonds began work at the FBI translating wire taps in an investigation into a foreign spy ring operating in the US. She became suspicious of her colleagues after discovering some mistranslations and was then invited to join the spy ring which had evidently infiltrated the FBI itself. She went straight to her bosses and rather than being hailed as a hero she was promptly fired and gagged by elements within the US government after going public on 60 Minutes.) Background: Born in Iran, but of Turkish descent, Sibel Edmonds, 32, is recruited by the FBI as a language specialist a few days after 9/11. Her job is to translate FBI counter-espionage and counter-terrorism wiretap conversations recorded on American soil. FBI targets are individuals suspected of espionage and terrorism-related activities. Sibel speaks fluent Turkish, Farsi and Azerbaijani. She is among the many translators hurriedly recruited by the intelligence community in the wake of the September 2001 attacks. In the 8 years after the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, the translation backlog has increased phenomenally: 350,000 hours of documents are in waiting. Edmonds has no idea that the wiretap conversations she has to translate are a big smoking gun. They are so �¢ï¿½ï¿½sensitive�¢ï¿½ï¿½ that the FBI had decided to �¢ï¿½ï¿½forget�¢ï¿½ï¿½ about them. Before 9/11, the reason for that was easy: no translators! After 9/11, the argument is discarded. The American people want to know the truth about the attacks. New funds are pledged and the FBI has no choice but to reopen certain investigations and hire translators. Sibel starts working with the FBI on September 20th, 2001. What she discovers is mind-boggling. The targets of FBI wiretaps are not only foreign individuals supected of espionage and terrorism in the U.S. but also their accomplices, that is�¢ï¿½�¦ top officials at the State Department and at the Pentagon. These people are clearly engaged in criminal activities such as technogical espionage, nuclear black market, heroin trafficking, money laundering, corruption of high-ranking officials, particularly in the U.S. Congress. The threat to U.S. national security is all too obvious. The perfect example of the explosive, not to say impossible, investigation. What she discovers is mind-boggling.

The threat to U.S. national security is all too obvious. The perfect example of the explosive, not to say impossible, investigation. Two months after she joined the FBI, Sibel is approached by one of the organizations under FBI investigation. The emissary is no stranger to Sibel: it�¢ï¿½ï¿½s a woman of Turkish origin, like Sibel, and also Sibel�¢ï¿½ï¿½s colleague at the Translation Unit. Sibel immediately understands: the spies whose conversations she translates everyday have infiltrated the FBI. Sibel reports to supervisors. Her nightmare is about to begin�¢ï¿½�¦ Sibel is just about to be fired, threatened, victimized. Very soon, she is put under a gag order. The Attorney General, John Ashcroft, invokes a rarely used privilege, namely the �¢ï¿½ï¿½State Secrets Privilege�¢ï¿½ï¿½. Her case is now considered top secret classified and a matter of national security, which requires that the courts block all related investigations. If she speaks, she�¢ï¿½ï¿½ll face prison. Ashcroft has cited two reasons for invoking this �¢ï¿½ï¿½Privilege�¢ï¿½ï¿½: �¢ï¿½ï¿½to protect certain sensitive diplomatic relations�¢ï¿½ï¿½ and �¢ï¿½ï¿½to protect certain foreign business relations of the United States!�¢ï¿½ï¿½ At the time, the Bush administration has its eyes fixed on Saddam Hussein and Baghdad. And there�¢ï¿½ï¿½s no point in letting a young �¢ï¿½ï¿½disgruntled�¢ï¿½ï¿½ interpreter add other names to the cast of �¢ï¿½ï¿½bad guys�¢ï¿½ï¿½ in the region. Particularly if these bad guys originate from allies or friendly states. With the �¢ï¿½ï¿½State Secret Privilege�¢ï¿½ï¿½, the Edmonds�¢ï¿½ï¿½ case is gone but the �¢ï¿½ï¿½Edmonds�¢ï¿½ï¿½ affair�¢ï¿½ï¿½ is just about to start. Sibel is now 36. In the past five years, with the backing of tens of thousands of Americans petitioning in her favor, she has engaged in a fight with Condoleezza Rice, pressed charges on several counts against the FBI and the Justice Department, petitioned the Supreme Court, called the Bush administration�¢ï¿½ï¿½s national security policy a cover-up and a big lie. So far, the governement has prevailed but Sibel has paved the way for future investigations which may arise after the fall of the Bush cabal�¢ï¿½�¦ Those investigations would show the involvment of certain famous, if not infamous, Neoconservatives in arms trafficking, and nuclear black market activities. �¢ï¿½ï¿½Connect the dots and follow the money,�¢ï¿½ï¿½ say observers familiar with Sibel�¢ï¿½ï¿½s case. In April 2006, Sibel Edmonds is presented with the 2006 PEN/ Newman�¢ï¿½ï¿½s Own First Amendment Award. She has gained the recognition of this prestigious writers and journalists organization, who are long-time supporters of the freedom of expression. When on stage facing a standing ovation, the young Turkish-American, who settled in the U.S. at the early age of 18, still remembers her father�¢ï¿½ï¿½s last words: �¢ï¿½ï¿½Sibel, you�¢ï¿½ï¿½ll have to decide how you want to live your life. According to fear or according to your principles�¢ï¿½�¦�¢ï¿½ï¿½ Air Date: 03/27/2007 Rel Date: 03/28/2007 XviD Enjoy <br /> <font size="3"><b>Seeders: </b></font>0<br /> <font size="3"><b>Leeches: </b></font>6 0 6 http://onebigtorrent.org/details.php?id=4380 <font size="3"><b>Category:</b></font> News & Current Affairs<br /><font size="3"><b>Description:</b><br /></font> sdtv xvid Bridge to Iran: Conversations in Tehran Category: Documentaries Regions: Middle East 20min Audio:Farsi Sub: English In this Link TV original production, Iranian-American filmmaker Persheng Sadegh-Vaziri visits Tehran on the anniversary of the 1979 Iranian revolution.

Brian interviews an historian about how the credit crisis compares with past financial crashes and lessons learned from solving them. And, in the second part of our program, Brian talks with outspoken demographer, David Foot, about how shifting population trends shape the politics, economy and societies of our times. First up, the Global Financial Crisis.We have lived through an extraordinary couple of weeks. Who will soon forget President George W. Bush's dramatic -almost humble--appeal to the American nation, as giant banks collapsed around him, to support a deal in which taxpayers would pay off $700 BILLION dollars of bad debt racked up by Wall Street? For days, the greatest economy in the world seemed almost immobilized by bad debts and lost trust and this, in turn, has affected economies across the globe. The full impact of all this is unclear, but we know big economic change is coming. In such confusing times many people look to history for guidance, seeking lessons of past financial crises. To discuss the Global Financial crisis: what it means for the world economy and how we can best understand it in historic terms, Brian is joined by business historian, Joe Martin, from the Rotman School at the University of Toronto. If over the past two weeks, watching Wall Street tumble and then Washington react after the fact, has taught us anything, then it must be that we need more leaders who think in the long term; who see broad patterns and anticipate problems, instead of just reacting to them. One proponent of this type of farsighted decision making is David Foot. He is an economist and demographer, based here in Canada, and the author of the huge best seller BOOM BUST AND ECHO, and its sequel: PROFITING FROM DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFT IN THE 21ST CENTURY. Brian interviewed Foot recently and we present their conversation. shunster-ex www.sonofshun.com <br /> <font size="3"><b>Seeders: </b></font>9<br /> <font size="3"><b>Leeches: </b></font>5 9 5 http://onebigtorrent.org/details.php?id=3654 <font size="3"><b>Category:</b></font> Documentary<br /><font size="3"><b>Description:</b><br /></font> Mossadegh - 2007 Directed by Reza Allamehzadeh A popular stage play detailing three chapters of Mohammad Mossadegh's life is captured on video for the first time.
