DOCUMENTARIES AND SHORT FILMS (A-Z)
Oil on Ice
A vivid, compelling and comprehensive documentary connecting the fate of the
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to decisions America makes about energy
policy, transportation choices, and other seemingly unrelated matters. Caught
in the balance are the culture and livelihood of the Gwich'in Athabascan Indians
and Inupiat Eskimos and the migratory wildlife in this fragile ecosystem.

The Oil Factor
After assessing today's dwindling oil reserves and skyrocketing use of oil for
fuels, plastics and chemicals, this documentary questions the motives for U.S.
wars in the Middle-East and Central Asia where 3/4 of the world's oil and
natural gas is located. With exclusive footage shot on location, the film
documents the spiraling violence now engulfing both Iraq and Afghanistan.

Weapons of Mass Deception
There were two wars in Iraq - one was fought with armies of soldiers, bombs
and a fearsome military force. The other was fought alongside it with cameras,
satellites, armies of journalists and propaganda techniques. In this film, Danny
Schechter, one of America's most prolific media critics, provides a hard-hitting
look at the television war and asks why the American audience lapped it up and
how the Pentagon helped shape media coverage.
