The Lebanese civil war was long-drawn and interrupted with lulls brokered by truces calling for the cessation of hostilities. At every lull, there was a wonder whether the war had in fact reached an end, as much as the decision to leave the country was difficult, as was the temptation to return powerful. Letter from Beirut documents the filmmaker's return to Beirut during one of the lulls, three years after the outbreak of the civil war, animated by the urge to return. She is confronted by the physical, emotional and psychological ravages of the war, terrified and sorrowful, she cannot find her place in the city. In that quest, she communicates with everyday people, friends, neighbors, people riding the bus across the city's eastern and western flanks. To pace her journeying and dramatic unraveling of the film, Saab borrows the guise of a letter read in a voice-over, written by world-renowned poet Etel Adnan. A rare document from the civil war, Letter from Beirut lays bare and spontaneously how people make sense of their everyday in the midst of chaos, violence, terror and sorrow.

The independence movement to free Indonesia from the control of its Dutch colonizers began as a land and power struggle in the late 1890's. Tjoet Nya Dien dramatizes that struggle for some ten years. As more Dutch troops arrive to suppress rebel forces fighting in the jungles of the Sultanate of Aceh (Sumatra), the insurgents lose their leader in battle, and his widow, Tjoet Nya Dien, takes on that role. Only her battle is for more than land and power; it is for the faith -- for Allah, for Islam. And this is what sustains her devotion to the struggle, even with traitors who sell out to the Dutch. In the end, as her health fails her, a traitor emerges who brings the final confrontation to a head for Tjoet Nya Dien. There is no respect from her for his motives, which he claims are out of compassion for her. Though Tjoet Nya Dien died in captivity, this defender of Indonesia's freedom went on to take her place among other Indonesian heroes who stood against would-be colonizers. Awards/Festivals: Cannes International Critics' Week 1989; Asia Society New York 1989; Jakarta International Film Festival 2000.

A picture is worth a thousand words, and so are the photos in this documentary as they weave together the history of Korea by disclosing the faces of ordinary people on the streets, in the rural areas going about their lives as history unfolds before them, often in tragic terms. This is a documentary that inspires its viewers to find out more about the events causing the pictures they see. The documentary begins with blank expresses of contemporary Koreans inside a huge shopping center. Most have been laid off work as the economic bubble has collapsed. I. Lost Faces 1945-1948: People and streets show people and places unaware of the impending war. II. Refugees and Prisoners of War 1950-1953: Faces under the shadow of war. III. Mobilization and Labor 1953-1966: The mobilization triggered by war, the fatigue of labor and the human mind.

At the height of the Cold War, the Osman family frantically escapes from Afghanistan while leaving almost everything behind. In the ensuing chaos, their only suitcase filled with family photos is stolen. Now after two decades of living in America, Wazhmah Osman, a young Afghan-American woman returns to her childhood home. Armed only with rapidly fading memories, she recruits some unlikely and reluctant guides to put together the pieces of her past.
On an alternately sad and humorous quest, she encounters confused cabbies, the enthusiastic former minister of the tourism bureau, amuseum director that archives land mines, and a group of angry street vendors. As Wazhmah desperately searches for any tangible evidence of her former life, the journey leads her to many unexpected places. Amidst the rubble and destruction, she finds her estranged father who in the aftermath of war choose his country over his family. On the road, Wazhmah frequently finds herself at a strange intersection where cultures clash, identities are mistaken, and the past violently collides with the present.
The filmmakers incorporate recovered Super 8 home movies and family photos that offer a rare and unprecedented look at 1960s and 1970s pre-war Afghanistan. Travel brochures are animated to reveal the country's peaceful past. Drawings by orphan children are animated to illustrate the Soviet invasion and subsequent wars. Interviews with Wazhmah's family and on the ground interviews with shopkeepers, teachers, orphans, and soldiers bring to light Wazhmah's personal journey and the country's current situation.

The ancient land between the Tigris and Euphrates, known historically as Mesopotamia, is now a flash point between Iran, Iraq and Turkey. Traditionally, it was presumed that a dispute over oil would ignite a war here. Now it seems that water will be the key to war or peace. A French journalist took two years exploring this ruggedly beautiful and troubled part of the world. He wanted to see the aftermath of the Iran/Iraqi and the Gulf Wars. How had the wars affected the people, and what had been won or lost in the conflicts? In village after village, defying the censorship of the military, he probes the inhabitants about their memories, their lives, and their views on Saddam Hussein, the Arab world, and the West. What emerges is a picture of a people living on the edge, impoverished by war, hounded by the military, and in the case of the Kurds, betrayed by the West during their uprising against Saddam. The Tears of Mesopotamia allows one to feel the plight of ordinary people caught in political and economic circumstances out of control. An important film for Westerners who have little access to this part of the world College Adult
