Nuclear Warfare
‘The War Game’ is a documentary made in 1965 for the BBC by Peter Watkin. It’s a drama in the style of a documentary and depicts the aftermath of a nuclear attack on the United Kingdom. It was due to be broadcast on August 6th, which is the anniversary of the attack on Hiroshima, but the BBC refused to show it saying that “the effect of the film has been judged by the BBC to be too horrifying for the medium of broadcasting”.

The Elephant in the Room (2008)
The Elephant in the Room is a documentary following British filmmaker Dean Puckett through his journey into the 9/11 Truth Movement: a global movement of ‘conspiracy theorists’ who believe that the official explanation about what happened on 9/11 is totally or partially inaccurate.
The filmmakers travel from middle England, across Europe and to New York for the six year anniversary of the attacks, where the film takes one final twist as we are introduced to the 9/11 first responders who are suffering from various grave health difficulties due to the toxic dust that they breathed in trying to help their country during the weeks after this tragic event.
Told with a personal hands on approach that avoids advancing any one position, the film asks the question: are these crazy conspiracy theorists? Or is 9/11 Truth a credible political movement?
You decide.
Featuring Cynthia McKinney, William Rodriguez, John Feal, Alex Jones, Scott Forbes, Luke Rudkowski, Richard Gage and many more...

'The War on Democracy', directed by John Pilger & Chris Martin, won Best Documentary at the prestigious One World Media Awards in London on 12 June 2008. It beat a field that included the documentary Oscar winner, 'Taxi to the Dark Side'.
The citation read: "There are six criteria the judges are asked to use to select the winner of this award: the film's impact on public opinion, its appeal to a wide audience, its inclusion of voices from the developing world, its high journalistic or production standards, its success in conveying the impact of the actions of the world's rich on the lives of the poor and the extent to which it draws attention to possible solutions. One film met every one of these. It was the winner of the award: John Pilger's 'The War on Democracy'."

Death of a Nation: the Timor Conspiracy (1998)
"A far away country - a people of whom we know nothing." This was how British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain described Czechoslovakia when the Nazis invaded Prague in the 1930s. From 1975, the same could be said of East Timor. Timor is located at the easternmost end of the Indonesian archipelago and lies 300 miles north of Australia in the South Pacific Ocean. The western part of the island, formerly a Dutch colony, became part of Indonesia upon independence in 1945. East Timor, a Portuguese colony since the sixteenth century, remained under Portuguese rule and decolonisation began only after the revolution in Portugal of 1974. A power struggle between political parties within East Timor erupted into civil war in the summer of 1975. In September of that year, Indonesian troops invaded East Timor, supposedly to thwart this 'Communist uprising'. In 1993, John Pilger and David Munro entered East Timor where 18 years earlier, a team of journalists, including Australian Greg Shackleton, were murdered by the Indonesian army for daring to question the validity of the invasion. Pilger uncovered the shocking complicity of the US and Great Britain governments in the ensuing genocide - the same governments who were willing to go to war with Saddam Hussein for his invasion of Kuwait, but who stood aside as Indonesia broke the exact same UN regulations to rape and pillage East Timor using Western arms. 'Death of a Nation: the Timor Conspiracy' is credited with alerting much of the world to the horror of the Indonesian occupation, and the complicity of Western governments. East Timor finally gained its independence in 2000.
9/11
Fabled Enemies by Jason Bermas is the latest film to question the events of September 11th 2001. Instead of the focus being on physical anomalies surrounding the attacks, it focuses on a vast intelligence network and how they were able to succeed almost 7 years ago.

Iraq
