Sinopsis
A chronicle which provides a rare window into the international perception of the Iraq War, courtesy of Al Jazeera, the Arab world's most popular news outlet. Roundly criticized by Cabinet members and Pentagon officials for reporting with a pro-Iraqi bias, and strongly condemned for frequently airing civilian causalities as well as footage of American POWs, the station has revealed (and continues to show the world) everything about the Iraq War that the Bush administration did not want it to see.
Durante la ocupación de Bagdad en 2003 por tropas estadounidenses, al subteniente Roy Miller (Matt Damon) y a su equipo les encargan la misión de recorrer el desierto en busca de armas de destrucción masiva supuestamente almacenadas allí. Registran escondite tras escondite, a cual más peligroso, pero en vez de letales agentes químicos, descubren un elaborado plan que cambia el propósito de su misión. Rodeado de agentes con objetivos contradictorios, Miller debe abrirse camino entre una maraña de espías en un país desconocido mientras intenta encontrar respuestas que quizá sirvan para salvar a un gobierno o para extender la guerra en una región muy inestable. No tardará en descubrir que, en un momento difícil y en una región explosiva, el arma más difícil de encontrar es la verdad.

VIETNAM: AMERICAN HOLOCAUST exposes one of the worst cases of sustained mass slaughter in history, carefully planned and executed by presidents of both parties. Our dedicated generals and foot soldiers, knowingly or unknowingly, killed nearly 5 million people, on an almost unimaginable scale, mostly using incendiary bombs. Vietnam has never left our national consciousness, and now, in this time, it has more relevance than ever. Claiborne documents the Whitehouse fabrication of the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, and further, raises the question of whether JFK was assassinated to promote the Vietnam War. Martin Sheen, who played the leading role in Apocalypse Now almost 30 years ago, has generously lent his powerful voice to this actual history of the War in Vietnam.
Zaman is a sweet and sad story about love and devotion, hope and fear.

They have lived a quiet, contented existence until Najma falls ill. The local doctor tells them she needs surgery or some special medicine he does not have. And so Zaman sets off in his small boat and journeys up the Tigris to Baghdad in search of the precious cure. Thus begins the journey of salvation and discovery for "Zaman, the Man of the Reeds."
