An air craft disaster, new political regimes and efforts for peace made the year 2000 a year of momentous happenings. The IRA issued a statement that it would 'put its weapons beyond use' in an effort to ensure a peaceful future for Northern Ireland. Meanwhile, at the inquest into the Omagh bombings, the coroner put the blame solely on the IRA; also saying the four weeks of hearing evidence into the disaster was a harrowing experience he would never forget. In France, a tire blow out was blamed for the crash of a Concorde, killing 114 people.

Produced by Emmy Award-winning filmmakers, Nagasaki Journey is a powerful, yet hopeful look at the immediate and continuing aftermath of the atomic bomb dropped August 9, 1945 on Nagasaki, Japan.
The film tells the moving personal stories of two Japanese survivors and a U.S. Marine, who was one of the first American troops to occupy the city after the war ended. All three dramatically reveal how the impact of this single bomb forever transformed their lives and their thinking. Despite the enormous wartime tragedy, their common humanity transcended previous hatreds, providing hope the Nagasaki bomb would be the last atomic weapon ever dropped in warfare.
Nagasaki Journey features recently discovered film footage shot by Marines during their occupation, as well as striking photos taken the day after the blast by Japanese Army photographer Yosuke Yamahata. Yamahata's complete photographic record, with other historical background, has been published in a companion 128-page book of the same name from Pomegranate Art Books.

Karl Höffkes at Polarfilm in Germany is a historian who has collected private film footage since the 1950’s. Now one of the biggest film libraries in the world this series documents German history from a personal view. Hundreds of hours of digitalized footage never broadcast internationally – in colors!
'Embedded journalists' in the fighting troops of WW II integrated journalists reporting from the front line of the course of a campaign are not an invention of the present.
One of the film journalist was Goetz Hirt-Reger.He was trained in Berlin to film reporter and ordered as a soldier to the Eastern Front. Here he made spectacular, partly color films from the advance on Moscow, the battles of Orel, the tank battle of Kursk, the Kuban bridgehead and at the front of the Dnieper. He filmed the defenses of friendly Romania on the Black Sea, joined a raiding patrol against the Soviet lines and witnessed the bloody battle in the area of Kischinow and Jassy, where some 250,000 German soldiers fell, or fell into Russian captivity.
What hardly anyone knew Hirt-Reger filmed the entire period with two cameras. With one camera, he filmed the official recordings, with his private, he held what was in the 'Deutsche Wochenschau' not shown: the uncluttered life of German soldiers in a bloody war.
One of the most important film treasures from the 3rd Reich.
