Battlefield Afghanistan - BBC (2007)

Amid battle scenes that have been described by one commander as the most intense "since the Korean War," the BBC's Alastair Leithead, award-winning cameraman Fred Scott and field producer Peter Emmerson spent nine days with U.K. forces in a remote area of southern Afghanistan. There they found themselves under the constant risk of ambush and attack.
This past fall, as the BBC team was embedded with the troops, the struggle intensified between British troops and the forces of the Taliban. Around 5,800 U.K. troops are stationed in Afghanistan, following the U.S.-led invasion in October 2001, and to date more than 40 have been killed. The majority of the deployment is in Helmand, an area of major Taliban activity and opium production.

The End of America (2008)

The End of America details the ten steps a country takes when it slides toward fascism. It's not a "lefty"tot tome, rather a historical look at trends in once-functioning democracies from modern history that are being repeated in our country today. It gives any reader (or viewer of the lecture) a much-needed history lesson and constitutional refresher. Most importantly, it puts the recent gradual loss of civil liberties in the U.S. in a historical context. The average American might not be alarmed at AT&T selling our private information to the Bush administration, but when this action is seen as part of a larger series of erosions and events, a pattern emerges with unfortunate consequences that become disturbingly clear.
