We were discussing the Holocaust and why it happened. Immediately, I thought of a video that could make so many of her questions clear: Frontline: The Longest Hatred. It examines the history of anti-Semitism both thoroughly and impartially. From first century politics to twentieth century realities, this amazing documentary is not to be missed if you know someone who has the same question as my student. Family friendly, but with mature content.
Before Dan had focused on the Congo, he went to film school at the American University in Washington D.C. Completing his schooling, he jumped into world concerns by teaming up with the Environmental Protection Agency as a scientist. After working for the EPA for a number of years, he left to pursue a career in filming documentaries.
When We Were Kings - Next to Hoop Dreams, this is the best sports documentary that I have ever seen. Chants of "Ali bomaye (Ali kill him)" will linger in your head after watching.
I was reminded while writing this of the brilliant poster for The Blair Witch Project which was so intriguing it had everyone talking about it for weeks before the film actually came out.
Actually, the manipulation did not come from them (they have only direct tv packages created the calendar), but from today's, so called, scientists. For their own popularity and publicity, they publicly speak, write, make TV shows, documentary films about they do not know, and speculate about never seen, or never been issues. Science is experiment, evidence, argument, proof, demonstration, not speculations. So big laboratory, as the universe is, nobody can create, except the Creator, than leave to Him rule the Heavens and the Earth, which He had created.
As far as theatrical films on the subject, the most well-known is "The Great Raid," (2005, Miramax) although that film really doesn't focus on the Death March, but on the raid of Camp Cabanatuan in January 1945. This mission was to rescue 500 remaining Death March survivors from Japanese captivity.
Downfall takes place during the last ten days of the Third Reich. As the Red Army tore through Berlin, Hitler retreated to a bunker under the Reich Chancellery. With him were what was left of his commanding officers, friends, and staff. We meet them all with chilling honesty and dark empathy as they face the last ten days of the war-Heinrich Himmler, Joseph and Magda Goebbels, their six children, Albert Speer, Eva Braun, and their leader Adolf Hitler. Critically acclaimed, Downfall is a brilliant film by a brilliant director. German language with subtitles, it contains mature content.
