Host Bill Moyers exposes the inner workings of a secret government much more
vast that most people would ever imagine. Though originally broadcast on PBS

military, intelligence, and government insiders reveal both the history and
secret objectives of powerful groups in the hidden shadows of our

WAR MADE EASY: How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us To Death:.
Narrated by Sean Penn – (2007 -72 Minutes)

Foundation: www.mediaed.org - Based on Book by Norman Solomon titled: WAR
MADE EASY. political leaders
War Made Easy reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to expose a 50-year
pattern of government deception & media spin that has dragged the United
States into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. This film exhumes
remarkable archival footage of official distortion & exaggeration from LBJ
to George W. Bush, revealing in stunning detail how the American news media
have uncritically disseminated the pro-war messages of successive
presidential administrations. War Made Easy gives special attention to
parallels between the Vietnam war and the war in Iraq. Guided by media
critic Norman Solomon’s meticulous research and tough-minded analysis, the
film presents disturbing examples of propaganda and media complicity from
the present alongside rare footage of political leaders and leading
journalists from the past, including Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Defense
Secretary Robert McNamara, dissident Senator Wayne Morse and news
correspondents Walter Cronkite and Morley Safer.
Hearts & Minds: Academy Award Winning Documentary about The Vietnam War -
Directed by Peter Davis - (1974 – 112 Minutes)
www.topdocumentaryfilms.com/hearts-and-minds
This film recounts the history and attitudes of the opposing sides of the
Vietnam War using archival news footage as well as its own film and
interviews. A key theme is how attitudes of American racism and
self-righteous militarism helped create and prolong this bloody conflict.
The film also endeavors to give voice to the Vietnamese people themselves as
to how the war has affected them and their reasons why they fight the United
States and other western powers while showing the basic humanity of the
people that US propaganda tried to dismiss.

force used; the enormity of the death and destruction; and the devastating
aftermath. The Panama Deception uncovers the real reasons for this

widely differs from that portrayed by the U.S. media and exposes how the
U.S. government and the mainstream media suppressed information about this
foreign policy disaster.

the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict – (2006 - 90 Minutes)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuI5GP2LJAs - www.occupation101.com
A thought-provoking and powerful documentary film on the current and
historical root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Unlike any other
film ever produced on the conflict -- 'Occupation 101' presents a
comprehensive analysis of the facts and hidden truths surrounding the never
ending controversy and dispels many of its long-perceived myths and
misconceptions. The film also details life under Israeli military rule, the
role of the United States in the conflict, and the major obstacles that
stand in the way of a lasting and viable peace. The roots of the conflict
are explained through first-hand on-the-ground experiences from leading
Middle East scholars, peace activists, journalists, religious leaders and
humanitarian workers whose voices have too often been suppressed in American
media outlets.
COVER-UP: Behind the Iran-Contra Affair: Narrated by Elizabeth Montgomery –
Produced by The Empowerment Project – (1988 – 72 Minutes)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXZRRRU2VRI - www.empowermentproject.org
COVER-UP is the only film which presents a comprehensive overview of the
most important stories suppressed during the Iran Contra hearings. It is the
only film that puts the entire Iran Contra affair into a meaningful
political and historical context. The shadow government of assassins, arms
dealers, drug smugglers, former CIA operatives and top US military personnel
who were running foreign policy unaccountable to the public, revealing the
Reagan/Bush administration's plan to use FEMA to institute martial law and
ultimately suspend the Constitution. Strikingly relevant to current events.
The War On Democracy by John Pilger: (2007 – 94 Minutes) –
www.johnpilger.com
www.topdocumentaryfilms.com/the-war-on-democracy
This film shows how US intervention, overt and covert, has toppled a series
of legitimate governments in the Latin American region since the 1950s. The
democratically elected Chilean government of Salvador Allende, for example,
was ousted by a US backed coup in 1973 and replaced by the military
dictatorship of General Pinochet. Guatemala, Panama, Nicaragua, Honduras and
El Salvador have all been invaded by the United States. Pilger interviews
several ex-CIA agents who took part in secret campaigns against democratic
countries in the region. He investigates the School of the Americas in the
US state of Georgia, where Pinochet’s torture squads were trained along with
tyrants and death squad leaders in Haiti, El Salvador, Brazil and Argentina.
The film unearths the real story behind the attempted overthrow of
Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez in 2002 and how the people of the barrios
of Caracas rose up to force his return to power.

Abdul Hakeem’s Story – Narrated by Peter Coyote - No More Victims – (5
Minutes) - www.nomorevictims.org/?page_id=107
On April 9, 2004 at 11:00 PM, during the First Siege of Fallujah, Abdul
Hakeem & his family were asleep at home when mortar rounds fired by US
forces rained down on their home, destroying one side of his face. His
mother suffered abdominal & chest injuries & has undergone five major
operations. His older brother & sister were injured and his unborn sister
killed. US forces did not permit ambulances to transport civilian casualties
to the hospital. In fact, they fired on ambulances, one of many violations
of international law committed by US forces in the April assault. A neighbor
volunteered to take the family to the hospital, where doctors assessed
Hakeem’s chances of survival at five percent. They laid his limp body aside
and treated other civilian casualties whose chances of survival appeared
higher.
Alaa’ Khalid Hamdan - Narrated by Peter Coyote - No More Victims – (3:33
Minutes) - www.nomorevictims.org/?page_id=100
Alaa’ Khalid Hamdan was severely injured when a U.S. tank round slammed into
her family’s home in Al Qaim, Iraq
<http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/middle_east_and_asia/iraq_pol_2004.jpg> . It
was May 3, 2005, around three in the afternoon. The children were having a
tea party. Two of Alaa’s brothers and three of her cousins were killed, all
children under ten years of age. Fourteen women & children were killed or
injured in the attack, which occurred while the men were at work.
Alaa’ was peppered with shrapnel in her legs, abdomen and chest, and
urgently needed an operation to save her eyesight. Micro-shrapnel from the
US tank round was embedded in both eyes, and her retina was detached. If the
fragments were not removed soon, she faced a lifetime of blindness. “A
surgery in Orlando to remove micro-shrapnel from her eyes and reattach her
retina was successful. The surgeon there said if the eyes had gone untreated
a few more days, she would have been blinded forever.”

The New Rulers Of The World: By John Pilger: www.johnpilger.com - (2002 - 54
Minutes)
www.topdocumentaryfilms.com/the-new-rulers-of-the-world
Who really rules the world now? Is it governments or a handful of huge
companies? The Ford Motor Company alone is bigger than the economy of South
Africa. Enormously rich men, like Bill Gates, have a wealth greater than all
of Africa. Pilger goes behind the hype of the new global economy and reveals
that the divisions between the rich and poor have never been greater — two
thirds of the world’s children live in poverty — and the gulf is widening
like never before. The film looks at the new rulers of the world — the great
multinationals and the governments and institutions that back them — the IMF
and the World Bank. Under IMF rules, millions of people throughout the world
lose their jobs and livelihood. The reality behind much of modern shopping
and the famous brands is a sweatshop economy, which is being duplicated in
country after country.

almost a million Palestinians had been forced off their land in 1948 and
again in 1967. Twenty five years later, John Pilger returns to the West Bank
of Jordan and Gaza, and to Israel, to ask why the Palestinians, whose right
of return was affirmed by the United Nations more than half a century ago,
are still caught in a terrible limbo - refugees in their own land,
controlled by Israel in the longest military occupation in modern times.

resolute. Her castigation of Israel’s military occupation of the Palestinian
people and the Israeli Government’s disregard for the safety of Israelis and
Palestinians rang with clarity. Through peace activism she ascertained the
facts on the ground. She called it as she saw it.The documentary, “Rachel
Corrie: An American Conscience,” chronicles her humanitarian work with the
International Solidarity Movement in Rafah, Gaza Strip, just prior to her
murder in March 2003. While Corrie stood in front of a Palestinian home to
prevent its demolition, an Israeli soldier in a Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer
crushed her.

Wikileaks obtained this video from Bradley Manning and decrypted this
previously unreleased video footage from a US Apache helicopter in 2007. It
shows Reuters journalist Namir Noor-Eldeen, driver Saeed Chmagh, and several
others as the Apache shoots and kills them in a public square in Eastern
Baghdad. They are apparently assumed to be insurgents. After the initial
shooting, an unarmed group of adults and children in a minivan arrives on
the scene and attempts to transport the wounded. They are fired upon as

Why We Fight: Directed by Eugene Jarecki (2005 – 99 Minutes)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO7-GBRx1xM
A documentary that examines America's policies regarding making war, most
recently the Iraq war and what is termed "the Bush doctrine" that includes
pre-emptive strikes. The author suggests that this policy has been in the
works for many years, reviewing past wars in the 20th century. A variety of
individuals are asked "Why We Fight?" with, predictably, a variety of
answers. This is followed by a look at today's U.S. military/industrial
complex via interviews with individuals involved with it.
The Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. – (1 Hour: 21 Minutes)
www.freedocumentaries.org/teatro.php?filmID=165&lan=en&size=big
Was it really a lone racist named James Earl Ray that killed Martin Luther
King or was his assassination part of a much bigger plan? And why was the
FBI treating Martin Luther King like a threat?
This film shows a good amount of evidence indicating an FBI conspiracy
against King. Before you decide that James Earl Ray definitely killed Martin
Luther King Jr., there are some people who have studied the subject
extensively that disagree; the King family. Evidence points to some of the
same organizations that were discussed regarding the Kennedy assassination.
But unlike the Kennedy assassination, only a small portion of the population
knows the case for a conspiracy against King. It is amazing that the ample
evidence that exists was able to be shoved under the rug.
