Death in gaza

Death In Gaza is an Emmy-award winning 2004 documentary film about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, opening in the West Bank but then moving to Gaza and eventually settling in Rafah where the film spends most of its time. It concentrates on 3 children, Ahmed (age 12), Mohammed (age 12) and Najla (age 16).

This poignant and powerful documentary takes a shocking first-hand look at the culture of hate that permeates the West Bank and Gaza and which continues to escalate the perennial violence pitting Palestinians against Israelis. Starting out in the city of Nablus (where as many as 80 percent of suicide bombing plots are planned) James Miller and Saira Shah ended up in the Gaza town of Rafah one of the most dangerous cities in this volatile region. There they spent several weeks focusing on the activities of three Palestinian children - two 12-year-old boys and a 16-year-old girl - who have grown up surrounded by messages of hate against Israel (whose military presence in their town is a constant) and taught that the greatest glory is to die a martyr. The film ends on a day like many other days in Rafah with death - except that on this day the fallen victim happens to be the man making this film.Running Time: 80 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC

Hitler's Britain


n the summer of 1940, history hung in the balance. Hitler's armies had conquered Poland, Norway, Holland and Belgium in quick succession. Next, the Nazi blitzkrieg overwhelmed France and the British Army were forced to retreat from Dunkirk.

Now Adolf Hitler stood, just as Napoleon had stood, more than one hundred years before and looked across the English Channel to the one fighting obstacle that stood between him and world domination: a tiny island. Great Britain. The preliminaries were over. It was time for the main event.

It´s a chilling picture and throws up one of the most intriguing questions of our time. What would the Nazis have done if they had conquered Britain? And how would the British have reacted? Would they have been brave and resisted their tyranny, as thousands did in Occupied Europe? Or would we have quietly towed the line for fear of the terrible consequences for our families?

Hitlers Britain is the story of what the Nazis planned to do to Britain after they invaded in 1941. It will also tell for the first time on television, the remarkable story of the British Resistance movement. This two part series shows in the most vivid way possible the horrifying reality of what would have happened to Britain if it had become an outpost of Hitler�s odious 1000-year Reich.

In telling this story, Hitlers Britain shows fascinating archive including a stunning German propaganda film called `The Invasion of England´ shot in Belgium in 1940. It also includes film showing Britain´s `stay behind´ soldiers being trained to cut throats and throw sticky bombs. Our cameras will explore Churchills secret wartime citadel near Bath, join Resistance fighters as they uncover their underground bunkers and penetrate the warren of tunnels in Wiltshire from where Churchill planned his last ditch effort to resist Hitler.
