Why We Fight [UK] [BBC] 23rd March 10pm GMT

Unread postby Filo » Wed 23 Mar 2005, 08:25:29

Hello All,

First, a huge thank you to creators and moderators for putting in the personal time and effort to produce a truly public service website. Equally to everyone else, including the experts, for contributing and giving voice.

Now, a little off PO topic, perhaps/perhaps not, but...

There might be an interesting documentary on the BBC tonight:

Why We Fight

I have no idea if these productions ever make it over to the US for broadcast?

This is another that I've found interesting (3 part):

The Power of Nightmares

Welcome to Peak Oil!

Eventually, we get many of the BBC productions - so, perhaps, we'll get to see the production one day.

The power of nightmares:
BitTorrents and transcripts here.

What an excellent mini series, I saw it a while back. What really got me was the fear mongering by Rumsfeld about the USSR back in the 70's. Fast forward to 2002 and he's doing the exact same thing with Iraq. 8O

Highly recommened for the documentary on the parallel rise of the neo-cons and Al-Qaeda.

Some BBC programmes, like Horizon, are webscast for 24 hours after UK transmission.

Regrettably that doesn't seem to be the case with these two.

(BTW Jack, congrats on being modified! ) I heard PBS actually stood for Primarily British Stuff :-D

You can watch it streamed on that link GD posted above.

I think the Power of Nightmares, esp part III should be seen by everyone. Too bad it won't ever be shown in the USA. People would then realize the truth about "terrorism" in the USA.
