The Trials of Henry Kissinger (2002)

Watch it: The Trials of Henry Kissinger (2002)

Summary:

Part contemporary investigation and part historical inquiry, documentary follows the quest of one journalist in search of justice. The film focuses on Christopher Hitchens’ charges against Henry Kissinger as a war criminal – allegations documented in Hitchens’ book of the same title – based on his role in countries such as Cambodia, Chile, and Indonesia. Kissinger’s story raises profound questions about American foreign policy and highlights a new era of human rights. Increasing evidence about one man’s role in a long history of human rights abuses leads to a critical examination of American diplomacy through the lens of international standards of justice.

Planet Ocean (2012) – Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Michael Pitiot

I absolutely loved the stunning imagery and awe captured in Planet Ocean. Looking at the microscopic organisms blooming in the ocean, then witnessing the entire Gaia system interacting in complex ways, the perspectives are inspiring for scientists and artists. It was one of the best visual documentaries I have seen. Definitely worth watching!

Andrew and Leslie Cockburn; Alexander Cockburn; Patrick Cockburn.

Recently have been watching interviews and lectures of the Cockburn family:

The Inside Story of the U.S.-Israeli Covert Relationship: Money, Mossad, and the CIA (1991)

Q&A: Leslie & Andrew Cockburn

They each have numerous interviews, documentaries and books. In the coming months I will probably explore their work and add to this post.

Manufacturing Consent – Noam Chomsky and the Media (1992)

Manufacturing Consent – Noam Chomsky and the Media (1992) is a well made documentary on the life and ideas of Noam Chomsky. There are hundreds of videos of Chomsky on YouTube, this one was one of my first and favorites. Despite being released in 1992, the messages of Chomsky are still important in 2014.

John Pilger Videos
