Description
The Yugoslavian Civil War acted as a magnet for men hungry for the buzz of battle. Not since the Spanish War did so many foreigners sign up for another country's cause. This film follows one of these individuals, a big ex-paratrooper and ex-French Legionnaire, as he trains the one English-speaking 'international' company in the Croatian Army. This story is fast-paced and is based around an unusual and surprisingly engaging character.

The research presented in this video looks into the rightfulness of engaging other states in the protection of EU borders. This happens when EU member states cooperate with the migrants’ countries of origin or transit countries in order to hinder refugees from crossing the border, e.g. by providing training or boats for border patrols. As NORA MARKARD explains, one central finding is that when an EU state outsources migration control, it still remains liable for possible human rights violations that happen during border protection measures – even if carried out by a third state. Furthermore, she elucidates that preventing somebody from leaving a country only in a specific way or direction is still an interference with the human right to leave.

Kamel Daoud, Algerian French-language writer, takes us on a trip to Algeria. He is straight-talking and has a way with words. He neither compromises with the Algerian regime and its failures nor with Islamists who want him dead. He only shows a love of the country, its people, and the language. The vineyard, the Mediterranean, the place of women, religion, Oran the radiant, Algiers and power, the rebel Kabylia where revolutions are born, confiscated independence, a creative and joyful youth who dreams of blowing up an old "system". Along the way, little by little the portrait of a country is emerging, but also that of a man, born after the War of Independence, a figure of intellectuals in love with freedom and a voice that counts today.

Academy-Award® winning director, Oliver Stone delivers a candid, in-depth conversation with one of the most controversial world leaders of our time, Fidel Castro. Stone challenges Castro to explain actions following the execution of three political dissidents who attempted to hijack a ferry to the United States in April 2003. Castro's response and his actions were condemned worldwide, further isolating Cuba.
Stone was given unprecedented access, interviewing not only Castro, but many of the prisoners, their wives, leading dissidents, and human rights advocates -- all of whom express their views forcefully in the emotionally-charged environment of Cuba today.
Whether or not you accept Castro's world view, Stone's, tough but fair portrait helps to illuminate Cuba's unique and complicated place in the world.
Is Castro a moral leader defending his small island against a superpower or is he an iron-fisted tyrant who tolerates no criticism? Or is the truth somewhere in between?

Watada is the first military officer to refuse to deploy to Iraq and to speak out that the war is illegal and a violation of his oath to the Constitution. The film is a cliffhanger as it dramatizes what it means for a lone soldier to publicly challenge Presidential war policy in order to fulfill his duty as an officer, to follow the rule of law and to honor his Oath.
