The Trouble With Aid
Director
Using the examples of seven humanitarian disasters from recent history, from Biafra to Afghanistan, Pollack gives a critical impression of a sector frequently forced to admit – to its own dismay – that idealism is not always equal to opportunism, that suppliers of aid are often confronted by complex moral dilemmas and that, sometimes, aid organizations even contribute to the conflict in question.
Partition: The Day India Burned
Director
Documentary about the effects of Britain's withdrawal from India in 1947 which triggered one of the biggest migrations in history. 15 million were displaced and more than a million lost their lives. The story is told through the testimony of people who lived together for centuries, but were forced out of their homes as one of the largest and most ethnically diverse nations in the world was divided. Dramatised reconstructions evoke some of the mistrust, violence and upheaval that ensued
