Iran Uncensored - The Iranian Dissidence (Documentary of 2013 about Radio Farda)

When we think of Cuba, our minds land on Havana or the country's folklore. There is, however, a deeply controversial and complex political history behind Cuba's current situation today, especially since Fidel's brother Raul took the reigns. As the country’s general elections are heating up, this film, which takes the form of a road movie, allows us to travel across the island. A journey made at a key moment, as the debate surrounding post-Castro Cuba is more prevalent than ever before; Raul Castro himself has declared, “The country must change to avoid sinking.” It has indeed been a year since Cubans started being able to work for their own bread. Another proof of the “revolution” prompted by Raul Castro, Fidel’s brother and heir to his throne, is enabling his fellow citizens to legally acquire and sell their homes or even their vehicles. What impact does that hold upon the daily lives of Cubans? From Santiago de Cuba, the nation’s second most important city and starting point to its “revolutionary pathway”, we’ll be meeting a hairdresser who has just began working

Gone are the days of the lone starry-eyed hackers in search of glory and self-satisfaction. Today hackers have become veritable covert foot soldiers of the state, leading the wars of tomorrow. They are put to work in ultra secret quarters, backed by budgets that exceed hundreds of millions of dollars. Wars that were once waged by land, sea, and air have now entered a new dimension: cyberspace... it's a global war that will forever change the landscape of the world. Wall Street (USA), Canada, France had been confronted with it.This film tells of this underground war, which is redrawing the contours of our future. We'll get an upfront look at the Stuxnet cyber attack which severely undermined the Iranian nuclear program, probably carried out by Israel, Russia's botnet war waged against Estonia and Georgia ... unleashing a network of hundreds of thousands of hacked computers around the world, and the brewing cyber cold war between the United States and China – full of offensives and counter offensives … A U.S. national security official explains how the Chinese have implemented "cyber

For the first time, a French director-journalist will join an official trip to the heart of one of the most secret regions in China: Xinjiang. Unstable and by far the most volatile province in the country, it’s a unique opportunity to visit an area that’s normally out of bounds to tourists. Located in the far northwest of the People’s Republic, on the borders of central Asia, Xinjiang is the scene of frequent clashes between the Chinese authorities and the Uyghurs, Turkish-speaking Muslims who, like their Tibetan neighbors, reject the colonization of their territory. Going beyond the Uyghur problem (which gets less media coverage than the unrest in neighbouring Tibet) the aim of this documentary is to decipher the propaganda that is currently being put out by the Chinese, who are trying to convince the world, and Chinese tour operators in particular, that the region is a haven of peace, a heaven on earth suitable for mass tourism. Thanks to reliable contacts amongst the organisers of this “Chinese tour” and the help of diasporas based in Europe and Central Asia, and

"We thought we were going to attend a U.N. meeting and we witnessed a racist hate fest instead". Anti-Semitic slogans, flyers praising Hitler to come back from the dead, fundamentalist propaganda etc. These are images that have haunted many NGOs since the 2001 Durban Conference in South Africa. It all happened a week before 9/11. As the United States waged war against terrorism and deserted UN regulations, Asian and African states took hold of the majority in the new Human Rights Council created in 2006. For the first time, a documentary explains the inner workings of Geneva’s UN premises. The documentary seeks to get to the bottom of what became of the 1948 Universal Declaration on Human Rights. What we discover there seems very far from the miraculous consensus orchestrated by Eleanor Roosevelt 60 years ago. Nowadays, the Council hosts a direct confrontation between two visions of the world. Dictatorships and authoritarian states lecturing the few democracies present in the Assembly. As Robert Badinter - the father of death penalty’s abolition in France - puts it: "the question of human

On Nov. 4, Americans elect Barack Obama, a president who campaigned on global warming and the urgent need to act. Immediately, his administration sets up the "Green New Deal," a huge green energy initiative. America, the world's largest consumer of energy, is the worst polluter in the world... so does that mean they now are entering a new era? Sales of hybrid cars take off, wind farms and solar panels flourish throughout the country. Nike, Lewis, Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Walmart: all large U.S. companies communicate their desire to reduce their "carbon footprint". Has America become green? This film investigates on the "Greening" of the USA. Original title: In green we trust Documentary from 2009
