The Panama Deception

The Panama Deception is a 1992 documentary film that won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. The film is critical of the actions of the US military during the 1989 invasion of Panama by the United States, covering the conflicting reasons for the invasion and the depicting of the US media as biased. It was directed by Barbara Trent of the Empowerment Project and was narrated by actress Elizabeth Montgomery.

The film asserts that the U.S. government invaded Panama primarily to renegotiate the Torrijos–Carter Treaties. Another allegation made by the film is that the United States tested some form of laser or energy weapon during the invasion. The film also includes footage of mass graves uncovered after the US troops had withdrawn, carpet-bombed civilian neighborhoods, as well as the depiction of some of the 20,000 refugees who fled the invasion.

Iraq and a Hard Place

Bremner, Bird and Fortune is an award winning Channel 4 British satire that covers politics with bitter truth.

Here will contain the three part Iraq series

Between Iraq and a Hard Place (Jan 2003)
Beyond Iraq and a Hard Place (May 2003)
Beneath Iraq and a Hard Place (Jan 2006)

Someone else’s critique:

The impressionist Rory Bremner and comedians Bird and Fortune take a look at the history of Iraq through a series of sketches, monologues and jokes. They begin with the formation of Iraq by the British in the early 20th Century, through the bombing of villages to control the tribes, the establishment of a king in the area through to the modern day trade meetings with Saddam Hussein.

To do this they simply present historical fact. They of course have jokes and humour which naturally show events in the light they themselves view them, but basically the essence is a matter of public record. The downside of this is that it isn’t as funny as their series (Bremner, Bird & Fortune) can be but it more than makes up for it by being very interesting. I really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at some parts. The jokes are very sharp and barbed and are mainly very funny. The impressions are spot on as always and dialogue incredibly well written –Bremner’ impression of Saddam as bemused by America and Britain constantly changing their minds about him is a favourite.

Speaking White Clay – TERRA 226

Over the last 100 years, the American Indian Holocaust and the boarding school era nearly snuffed out the native language of Montana’s White Clay tribe. Today, less than five native speakers of the White Clay language remain. Nonetheless, kids, parents and teachers at the White Clay Language Immersion School in Harlem, Montana are fighting back to reclaim their native language. In doing so, they are blending traditional Indian ways and contemporary Euro-American culture and “two fractured worlds” are coming together to form a new whole.

Atlatl – TERRA 224

Three alter-egos converge as 1. Bob Perkins “the researcher”, 2. Professor William Robert Perkins “the mad scientist”, and 3. Atlatl Bob “the hunter”, give a humorous and multi-faceted account of mankind’s ascendant path to the top of the food chain. Though seemingly primitive, the “Atlatl and Dart System”, used by humans in pre-historic times, is remarkably complex in its design. With a minimum of effort, the atlatl hurtles darts at speeds close to 100 miles per hour. In turn, this behavior speaks volumes about the sustainable ingenuity of the hunter-gatherer age. In our present age of taxes, organized religion, and agriculture, perhaps there are still important lessons that can be derived from our far distant relatives.
