Witch Hunt (2008)

Directors:
Don Hardy Jr.
Dana Nachman
(91 min)

"Executive Producer Sean Penn presents "Witch Hunt," a gripping indictment of the American justice system told through the lens of one small town. Voters in Bakersfield, California elected a tough on crime district attorney into office for more than 25 years. During his tenure he convicted dozens of innocent working class moms and dads. They went to prison, some for decades, before being exonerated. He remains in office today. This story on a micro level mirrors what the US has experienced over the last eight years. When power is allowed to exist without oversight civil rights are in jeopardy."

Director:
Ben Lewis
(70 min.)

"In October 1977, the leadership of the German leftwing terrorist group Baader-Meinhof, died in a German high-security prison. Their apparent suicides hailed the end of a long and bloody struggle to start a revolution in one of the world's richest democracies. 25 years on In Love With Terror traces this astonishing story through extraordinary interviews with former group members, never-before seen archive footage, secret police reports and obscure government files."

The Red Army/PFLP: Declaration of World War (1971)


Directors:
Masao Adachi
Kôji Wakamatsu
(69 min)
"Unlike the students doing nothing but talking, Wakamatsu decides to act efficiently. And can be more efficient than armed struggle, like the PFLP ready to blow up 3 aircraft to be heard by everyone?

That’s why, Wakamatsu and Adachi (his usual scenarist) go meet with those revolutionaries, hiden somewhere in the Lebanese Mountains. There, no more Modern Civilisation, just traditional habitations from the middle east: small houses near desert area. Here, American Imperialism, Zionism and Israel are hated by everybody.

Armed struggle is part of the revolutionaries’ daily life. Learn how to fight, how to use weapons, and always practise to be ready to fight. Being on stand-by doesn’t mean being lazy, they have to keep practicing, always, there’s no dead time. Revolutionaries take apart weapons and take part together, they do simulation of fights with real weapons… Kalachnikov, bazooka, and grenades belong to the artillery of the good revolutionary.

On the walls, we can often find bullet holes. And for sure, we know the urban-sterilized American world hasn’t put one foot in these rebels area. Armed struggle must stop the rise of American imperialism. Oncle Sam and his symbols are laughed through many propaganda draws, and assimilated to a death culture. Same thing about the american TV, always showing a magnificent hyper-reality. Lies that must be destructed by revolutionaries actions – hostage taking, terrorist attack…

Any actions is good as long as it open people’s eyes, in order to call every partisans from every country to be ready to the revolution – a world war. Wakamatsu and Adachi interview some revolutionaries about their motivations, their expectations, their hopes. In every answers, there’s the need of a marxist-leninist world revolution. Known as the only way to crush imperialism. The “Palestinian Revolution” must be an example that can allow the unity of every freedom fighters of the world. In other words, The Internationale must become a reality.

With this documentary, this is exactly what Wakamatsu and Adachi want people to know. It’s a call for the armed struggle… That’s why Wakamatsu and Adachi will be considered as terrorist by some international organism."

The Fog of War - Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara (2003)


Director:
Errol Morris
(107 min)

"Robert S. McNamara discusses his experiences and lessons learned during his tenure as Secretary of Defense under John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson. He talks about his work as a bombing statistician during World War II, his brief tenure as president of Ford Motor Company, and the Kennedy administration's triumph during the Cuban Missle Crisis. However, the film focuses primarily on his failures in Vietnam. The theme of the film are his "eleven lessons" learned during this time. Some of these include improving military efficiency, understanding your enemy, and the frustrations of trying to deal with (and unsuccessfully trying to change) human nature."

R.S. McNamara's eleven lessons of war :

01. Empathize with your enemy
02. Rationality will not save us
03. There's something beyond one's self
04. Maximize efficiency
05. Proportionality should be a guideline in war
06. Get the data
07. Belief and seeing are often both wrong
08. Be prepared to re-examine your reasoning
09. In order to do good, you may have to engage in evil
10. Never say never
11. You can't change human nature
