Who Wrote the Bible?

Who Wrote the Bible? Is the Bible the Word of God? Why is the Bible full of Contradictions? This documentary explores questions at the heart of the great Christian faith in a fair open-minded fashion. It is NOT meant to be inflammatory but informative. It is led by a Christian theologian, Robert Beckford, who goes on a mission to investigate the book that he was brought up with.

The Take (2004)

There is a now a new section in the genres list of "current affairs". This is to include the many recent public licence documentaries that have been made and are about analysing the past and present and proposals for the future. Already Zeitgeist and Home will be found under that category. This one, The Take, I have watched and recommend it to show how the capitalist system can be replaced.

In suburban Buenos Aires, thirty unemployed auto-parts workers walk into their idle factory, roll out sleeping mats, and refuse to leave. All they want is to re-start the silent machines. With The Take, director Avi Lewis, one of Canada's most outspoken journalists, and writer Naomi Klein, author of the international bestseller No Logo, champion a radical economic manifesto for the 21st century. But what shines through in the film is the simple drama of workers' lives and their struggle: the demand for dignity and the searing injustice of dignity denied. http://thetake.org/

Super Size Me (2004)

A very interesting personal investigation into what would happen if you only ate food from McDonald's. It's especially interesting when you see what the doctors find out about its effects on the body.

Zeitgeist (2) - Addendum (2008)

This is the second in the series of these documentaries. I can't urge people enough to watch them all. An insight into the current state of religion, politics and banking.

Home (2008)

We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate.

The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being.

For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film.

HOME has been made for you : share it! And act for the planet.
