AUSCHWITZ: THE CORRUPTION - DOCUMENTARY
At the Auschwitz camp, a large amount of wealth was stolen from the Jews. The Goldjuden or Jews of gold were in charge of handling the money, gold, stocks, and jewelry. They subjected the prisoners to an intimate search just before the gas chambers. Jewish women had relationships with SS guards to save their life.So called camp doctors, especially the notorious Josef Mengele, would torture and inflict incredible suffering on Jewish children, Gypsy children and many others. Patients were put into pressure chambers, tested with drugs, castrated, frozen to death and exposed to various other traumas.Josef Mengele, did a number of twin studies, and these twins were usually murdered after the experiment was over and their bodies dissected. In the case of the twins, he drew sketches of each twin, for comparison. Mengele was almost fanatical about drawing blood from twins, mostly identical twins. Only a few survived....

Secrets of the CIA Documentary
CIA Agents Reveal CIA Secrets in Free Documentary
"The CIA is a state-sponsored terrorists association. You don't look at people as human beings. They are nothing but pieces on the chessboard."
-- Verne Lyon, former CIA agent in revealing documentary Secrets of the CIA
Secrets of the CIA is a fascinating 45-minute Turner Home Entertainment documentary made available for free viewing by Google at the link below. Five former CIA agents describe how their initial pride and enthusiasm at serving their nation turned to anguish and remorse, as they realized that they were actually subverting democracy and killing innocent civilians all in the name "national security" and promoting foreign policy agendas.
A Notre Dame football star, an aerospace engineering senior at Iowa State, an attractive high school graduate, an Olympic shooting champion, and a young patriot all were recruited by the CIA at a young age. These five brave individuals risk retaliation in revealing the story of their gradual disillusionment and finally defection from the CIA, as they eventually became convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were serving neither democracy, nor the people of their country.
The shooting champion describes being put in charge of overthrowing the democratically elected government of Guatemala. The patriot relates his deep remorse for his direct responsibility in the deaths of numerous innocent people for which he can never make amends. The pretty high school graduate describes how her initial addiction to power and intrigue turned to disgust and horror. This powerful documentary is a rare and remarkable look at the results of unbridled secrecy and the lengths to which government will go to achieve questionable foreign policy goals.

How I became a Muslim extremist - Documentary
What is it like to actually be an extremist and serve the political goals of radical Islam?
What is it like to think like an extremist and adopt an ideology that demands you abandon all aspects of your former life - including your friends and family?
Shiraz Maher told his story on Monday's Panorama.
He is a former member of Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT), a radical organisation campaigning for the creation of caliphate - an Islamic state. It operates in many countries.
Shiraz made the case for a re-think of how the government should de-radicalise people like himself.
He told how after 9/11, he had a chance conversation with a HT member at a mosque and within weeks became a member of the cell.

Unreported World: Egypt's Rubbish People - Documentary
WATCH THE DOCUMENTARY: CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO
Unreported World exposes a dark side to Egypt that the authorities don't want foreigners to see: a secretive society of around 40,000 people literally living in rubbish in a Cairo ghetto overrun by rats and disease.
Reporter Evan Williams and producer James Brabazon are some of the first journalists to film inside the ghetto where tens of thousands live with garbage stacked to the roofs of their multi-storey homes - eking out a living recycling the rubbish by hand. It's a sight rarely seen by outsiders, and almost definitely not by the million British Tourists who visit Egypt every year.
This group is unique for another reason. They're part of Muslim Egypt's Christian minority; a community claiming to be besieged by persecution, extremism and a creeping Islamisation in Egypt's security services.
The team highlights one the most sensitive issues faced by some of those in Egypt - their decision to convert to Christianity - a decision that some Muslims believe should be punishable by death under a strict interpretation of sharia religious law.
One convert, "Christine", tearfully claims that officers from the government's State Security Intelligence have threatened to torture those trying to convert, rape their daughters in front of them and jail them on false charges of prostitution.
"We are abused in the street, spat at, cigarettes are thrown at us, my young daughter who is eleven is hit by the teacher and told to wear the veil and taken to the Mosque to pray even though she doesn't know anything about the Islamic faith," she tells Williams.
Another Christian family tells the team that their 17-year-old daughter has been missing for five months. They believe she has been kidnapped and forced to marry a Muslim, yet claim that the police refuse to search for her because she is a Christian. The girl's father, Atef, claims that the police arrested him for two days and held him on a roof for six hours, handcuffed, in an effort to get him to stop looking for his daughter.
The team arranges a meeting with Gasser Abdul-Razak, of the Human Rights Watch group. He claims that for the last three or four years government officials have been illegally refusing to allow thousands of converts to register their new religion on their ID cards, a document vital for everyday life in Egypt.
Back at the Christian garbage collector's ghetto, Father Samaan, the chief Christian priest, tells Unreported World that Egyptian laws make it difficult to build new churches. Instead he had to excavate his church from the sheer rock of a mountain.
"If you can build a Mosque - which you can in Egypt - you should be able to build a church and you can't get that permission," he says. "That's not right. You should not be treated as Muslims Christians you should just be treated as citizens of Egypt."

Why Democracy? - Bloody Cartoons - Documentary
WATCH DOCUMENTARY: CLICK HERE
It's a great idea to have TV networks from around the world screening a series of documentaries about democracy. The blurb accompanying Bloody Cartoons says the series does not offer a solely Western perspective, which is encouraging. Yet this film, about cartoons printed in a Danish newspaper depicting Mohammed - and the uproar they caused - is clearly presenting events from the point of view of Danish filmmaker Karsten Kjaer. Yes, he interviews a number of muftis and other Muslim leaders but we're left in no doubt what he thinks.
There also isn't a tremendous amount of new information. We know Muslim leaders were offended by the cartoons, so to see them condemning their content is hardly surprising. What is interesting is following Kjaer into Iran, where he sidesteps attempts to keep him in the capital and goes in search of an activist present at the messy Danish Embassy protests in Tehran. Had this man seen the cartoons before the protest? Of course not. The uncomplicated, refreshing response Kjaer captures here is the most effective part of the film.
There are also a few pointed moments in which it's clear that freedom of speech, as presented by the West, isn't all it's cracked up to be. A pity we couldn't have made more of this element of the debate.

The First World War - Jihad - Documentary
Faced with a war on two fronts, Germany sought out allies to stretch her enemies and reduce the pressure on her. At that time, the nominaly neutral Ottoman Empire leaned towards Germany; the Allies would tip the Ottoman Empire into the German camp. The Allies thought that Turkey, the "sick man of Europe", would be an easy pushover. They soon discovered this would not be the case.
