Endgame: The Fall of Apartheid 2009 05 04 Ch 4

Category: Documentary
Description:
Endgame: The Fall of Apartheid 2009 05 04 Ch 4 900 MB/01:40:50 A Docudrama....a political thriller. In 1985 South Africa burns as the vile Apartheid regime crumbles. In the months leading up to this historic moment, a group of men hold secret talks to bring about peace and democracy to the nation. Under constant threat and fearful of their lives, a gathering of ANC ‘terrorists’ led by the future president of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki and key Afrikaner representatives meet in a manor house in South East England. Against all the odds, through volatile discussions, set backs and breakthroughs, the secret talks in Britain achieve a precious arena of frail trust between the two archenemies. While Nelson Mandela’s tense negotiations at Pollsmoor Prison and later in the heavily bugged warden’s villa at Victor Verster Prison prove fruitful, the courage of the unsung heroes at the crucial British talks begin to show results. But will they live to see the peace they are striving so hard for? In the climate of the ‘war on terror’ we all now live in, this inspiring film based on Robert Harvey’s acclaimed book ‘The Fall of the Apartheid: The Inside Story from Smuts to Mbeki’ has never had more relevance.

http://www.forthebibletellsmeso.org/ Can the love between two people ever be an abomination? Is the chasm separating gays and lesbians and Christianity too wide to cross? Is the Bible an excuse to hate? Through the experiences of five very normal, very Christian, very American families -- including those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson -- we discover how insightful people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child.

Sudan - Never Again (2005-TVRip-d0x)

Category: Documentary
Description:
_____________________________________________________________Program__ Title........: Panorama - Never Again Runtime......: 00:51:36 (77,399 fr) Genre........: Documentary Languages....: English, Arabic Translations.: English subtitles Info URL.....: http://tinyurl.com/23v6u3 Purchase URL.: http://tinyurl.com/2lsmg2 _____________________________________________________________Summary__ This documentary looks at the tragic events occurring in Darfur and reflects on how the international community has failed to learn its lesson. More than ten years after the genocide in Rwanda, the same tragedy is unfolding in Sudan's western region of Darfur and the international community has done nothing to stop it. After the Rwandan genocide, world leaders said they would never again delay and argue while innocent people were slaughtered. Among the powerful men who committed themselves to act in the future were the President of the United States, the Prime Minister of Britain and the Secretary General of the UN. They were given a chance to show what their promise meant when the government of Sudan began to slaughter its own people. In 2003, after local rebels attacked government forces in Darfur, the state hit back by unleashing Arab militias and sending its air force to bomb civilians. Hundreds of thousands have been killed, thousands of women have been raped and more than two million people driven from their homes, yet since the campaign began, there has been no effective international action to put an end to the killing. Never Again reveals a story of political manoeuvring, bureaucratic wrangling and extraordinary brutality and considers the pressures on powerful nations as they struggl to forge a response to the tragedy. ____________________________________________________________Encoding__ File Name....: Sudan - Never Again (2005-TVRip-d0x).avi File Size....: 449 MB (or 460,176 KB or 471,220,224 bytes) Frames.......: 624x368 (1.70:1) [=39:23] @ 0.189 bits/pixel Video Codec..: XviD @ 1085 kb/s Audio Codec..: MP3 @ 128 kb/s (64/ch, stereo) CBR _________________________________________________________________d0x__

McChesney is a professor of media studies and one of the foremost critics of American mass media. His work concentrates on the history and political economy of communication, emphasizing the role media plays in democratic and capitalist societies. Since 2002, McChesney has been the host of Media Matters, a call-in talk radio program broadcast on WILL-AM and over the internet ( http://www.will.uiuc.edu/AM/mediamatters/default.htm ). Barbara Ehrenreich is a prominent liberal American writer, columnist, feminist, socialist and political activist. Gore Vidal is an American author of novels, stage plays, screenplays, and essays. The scion of a prominent political family, Gore is an outspoken critic of the American political establishment and a noted wit and social critic. John Nichols, Washington correspondent for The Nation and associate editor of The Capital Times in Madison, Wisconsin. He is the author of "Jews for Buchanan: Did You Hear the One About the Theft of the American Presidency." With Robert McChesney, he co-authored "Our Media Not Theirs: the Democratic Struggle Against Corporate Media." John Pilger is an Australian journalist and documentary filmmaker from Sydney, primarily based in London, England. Pilger's career in journalism began in 1958, and he has developed his reputation through both his reporting and the various books and documentary films that he has written or produced. He is best known in Britain for his investigative documentaries, particularly those on Cambodia and East Timor. He has acted as a war correspondent during conflicts in Vietnam, Cambodia, Egypt, India, Bangladesh and Biafra. In all of his work, Pilger has been a prominent and fervent critic of Western foreign policy. He is particularly opposed to many aspects of American foreign policy, which he regards as being driven by a largely imperialist agenda. Michael Albert is a longtime activist, speaker, and writer, is co-editor of ZNet, and co-editor and co-founder of Z Magazine. He also co-founded South End Press and has written numerous books and articles. He developed along with Robin Hahnel the economic vision called participatory economics, or parecon for short. Albert identifies himself as a market abolitionist and favors democratic participatory planning as an alternative. Mary Tyler "Molly" Ivins (died 2007) was a liberal American newspaper columnist, political commentator, and best-selling author from Austin, Texas. Naomi Klein is a Canadian journalist, author and activist well known for her political analyses of corporate globalization. In 2000, Klein published the book "No Logo", which for many became a manifesto of the anti-globalization movement. This movement had shut down the WTO Meeting of 1999 one month before the release of "No Logo." The book lambasts brand-oriented consumer culture by describing the operations of large corporations. These corporations are also often guilty of exploiting workers in the world's poorest countries in pursuit of ever-greater profits, she writes. Norman Solomon is an American journalist, media critic and antiwar activist. A longtime associate of the media watch group Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR), Solomon is also the founder and executive director of the Institute for Public Accuracy, a national consortium of policy researchers and analysts which works pro-actively to provide alternative sources for journalists. His weekly column, "Media Beat", has been in national syndication since 1992. Paul Krugman is an American economist. Krugman, a liberal, is currently a professor of economics and international affairs at Princeton University. He is also an author and a columnist for The New York Times, writing a twice-weekly op-ed for the newspaper since 2000. Krugman is an outspoken critic of the George W. Bush administration and its foreign and domestic policy. Unlike many economic pundits, he is also regarded as an important scholarly contributor by his peers. He has written over 200 scholarly papers and 20 books—some academic, and some written for the layperson. Seymour (Sy) Hersh is an American Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist and author based in Washington, DC. He is a regular contributor to The New Yorker magazine on military and security matters. Thomas Frank is an American author who writes about what he calls "cultural politics".
