New World Order

You want us to stand down. You want us to back off. You want us to shut up while our country and our sovereignty and our borders and everything we've ever been and everything we'll ever be is being destroyed. You got the nerve to call us traitors and call us conspiracy theorists just because we're informed.

Class War

The US military with its vast complex web of branches, agencies and bureaucracies is, in socio-political terms, a metastasized cancer run rampant in the American body of politics, and the Americans are dying of it. Not surprising, the core purpose of armies is to kill people. Every country that has ever had one claimed it was for defense but all history proves their function has never varied - to kill people and appropriate their wealth.

Life after Guantanamo

In this episode, Fault Lines traveled to Yemen to ask what the consequences of America's policy of indefinite detention have been and to find out what life is like there, after Guantanamo.

Getting Rich

It is one of the most extraordinary transformations of our time - China. A country long in the grip of communism is now devoted to private enterprise. That is what they had to do for the ordinary people of China to become richer. This new economic superpower is taking on the West. But China's surging economy has a dark side. Can China keep moving forward or will the forces of change tear it apart?

Into the Fire: The Hidden Victims of Austerity

Most refugees arrive in Europe by foot or by boat, landing in Greece, Italy and Spain. Under EU regulations, asylum claims have to be made in the country through which refugees first enter Europe. They cannot move to another European country. In 2011 the European Court of Human Rights found that asylum seekers in Greece are at risk of inhuman and degrading treatment. There are deficiencies in the asylum procedure, the detention conditions and the living conditions in Greece.

Assassination Nation

The most successful suicide attack of all time was 9/11. In fact, it was powerful that it led to the US invasion of both Iraq and Afghanistan. 11 years ago, the US Army invaded Afghanistan with the sole purpose of getting Al Qaeda and Taliban. Today, the US government is entering into negotiations with the Taliban to see just how much power they will gain when our troops leave. This is a direct result of the Taliban's successful use of terror techniques, suicide attacks, and suicide bombing.

War Crimes

Not long ago, one out of every five prisoners in America was a Vietnam vet. More and more veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are showing up behind bars and many are being charged with violent crime. Experts are saying that there's a common thread that often runs through these cases, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD.

Earth in 1000 Years

Scientists are tracking the overall rate of ice loss with the Grace Satellite. They found that from 2003 to 2009, Greenland lost about a trillion tons, mostly along its coastlines. This number mirror's ice loss in the Arctic as a whole. By 2012, summer sea ice coverage had fallen to a little more than half of what it was in the year 1980. While the ice rebounded in 2013, the coverage was still well below the average of the last three decades. Analyzing global data from Grace, one study reports that Earth lost about 4,000 cubic kilometers of ice in the decade leading up to 2012.

Eyewar

These are some of the topics addressed in Eyewar: 80 minutes of found footage which traces the development of the digital image from the maps of the second century to the screens of the twenty-first, and the uses of the field of cybernetics from Japan in the 1940s to Chile in the 1970s and Iraq in the 1990s.

Videos sometime don't show up in the emails. View them on the website: http://www.dustcircle.com

THRIVE – Planet Earth: Secret Reality Documentary 2012

This documentary questions everything from the beginning till the current day. The veil is lifted on what is going on in our world. Not only does this movie focus on things like pyramids and corn circles but also energy and economy. The question how important energy and especially new energy is, is asked. In the end the access to energy has enormous effects on human beings. Also the crisis and global domination is addressed. What would happen if the global domination of resources would proceed at its current rate?

THE BEAUTY OF SPACE PHOTOGRAPHY

Space presents a fantastic mystery to human life. Unfathomably large, with characteristics that defy our experience and understanding, the stars have perplexed and amazed humanity for our entire recorded history, and likely before. In the present, astrophysicists and astronomers are aggressively studying the universe in an attempt to solve critical scientific and philosophical questions.

WHITE STUDENT UNION

Matthew Heimbach insists he’s not a racist. This comes as a surprise to his fellow students at Towson University, in the suburbs of Baltimore, where Matthew has formed a group called the White Student Union that advocates for “persons of European heritage”—what most of us call “white people.”

CYBER WARS – TARGET BANKS

Cyber crime is testing our security measures to the limit. And now there’s a new target: our banks. Nissim Bar-El, CEO of an international banking security agency discusses being at the forefront of a cyber war.

BABY BOX – UNWANTED BABIES

In this report, we follow a man who’s dedicated his life to saving South Korea’s unwanted babies. With hundreds of them being abandoned every year, why has the government ordered him to stop?

SCARS OF SOLITUDE

A short documentary with the idea that people will realise how damaging loneliness really is. We are in a village in Romania, a beautiful place, which at this moment is populated by only one soul. An old lady who refused to leave her home behind and go with the rest of the village.

HOUSE OF HORROR

As America comes to terms with the nightmare of Cleveland’s kidnapped girls, people across the country are demanding to know how three young women could be held captive in a suburb, undetected for a decade.

COMBAT OUTPOST

Western forces are losing ground to the Taliban. As US and UK forces struggle for a way forward in Afghanistan, this unique film shows one of the most dangerous outposts as it struggles to hold on.

TORTURED BEAUTIES – MODELS IN CHINA

Modern China is working hard to give itself a new image. And now a frightening new craze for Western-style beauty is driving a nationwide boom in dangerous and drastic cosmetic surgery procedures.

American Call-Girl

It’s an illegal workforce that’s an internet connection and a phone call away. The world’s oldest profession has moved online and indoors. We’re going behind the supply and demand of the escort industry.

This (Illegal) American Life

From a small town in Oaxaca, Mexico, and from a kitchen table in East Los Angeles, from a flophouse in a coastal farming town, to a strip-mall in Phoenix, Arizona, these are snapshots of illegal immigration in America. It’s estimated that as many as 12 million people are living in United States illegally, but this story is about just two.

Unveiled and Lifted

Government and politics is something that we collectively should have transcended a long time ago, yet it still exists and it’s still part of the average individual’s life.

http://www.dustcircle.com

The Nature of Existence
For The Nature of Existence, Nygard prepared a questionnaire with 85 weighty philosophical questions, ranging from Why do we exist? and Do we have free will? to Who created God? and Is there a moral yardstick that applies to all cultures?

Turlock
In February of 2012, the owners of A&L Poultry – a 50,000 hen egg farm – stopped feeding the hens in their care, leaving the birds without food for more than two weeks.

AFRAID OF PEOPLE
Social anxiety is anxiety (emotional discomfort, fear, apprehension, or worry) about social situations, interactions with others, and being evaluated or scrutinized by other people. The difference between Social Anxiety and normal apprehension of social situations is that social anxiety involves an intense feeling of fear in social situations and especially situations that are unfamiliar or in which you will be watched or evaluated by others. The feeling of fear is so strong that in these types of situations you may be so worried that you feel anxious just thinking about them and will go to great lengths to avoid them.

LICENSE TO KILL – EUTHANASIA
It is illegal in Australia, taboo across Asia, and a political and moral minefield to boot, yet poll after poll shows 80 percent of Australians want voluntary euthanasia introduced.

MILKING IT
Recent years has seen the British dairy industry in trouble, with hundreds of dairy farms going bankrupt every year. Sharcott Pennings farm (a part of Stowell Farm) is a great example of a thriving dairy farm. Proving that when done right, dairy farming can still be a profitable business.

GARY HARTSTEIN – I WAS JUST A DOCTOR
Dr Gary Hartstein, M.D. is the former FIA Medical Delegate for the Formula One World Championship. Gary has been key in developing some of the FIA’s new approaches and policies in terms of medical safety.

IT RUNS ON WATER
It Runs On Water gives viewers a clear message that Free Energy is on the way. Arthur C. Clarke explains how there were four stages in the way scientists react to the development of anything of a revolutionary nature. “Free Energy” was now working its way through these four stages of reaction.

NAKED CITIZENS
Increasing numbers of “terror suspects” are now being arrested on the basis of online and CCTV surveillance data. Authorities claim they act in the public interest, but does this intense surveillance keep us safer?

CHINA’S DIRTY SECRETS
China’s factories provide low cost products such as computers and cars to the rest of the world. But critics claim such economic progress takes a heavy toll, polluting the country’s air, land and rivers.

GUNS, CULTURE AND CRIME IN THE U.S.
For the first time in years, US politicians are discussing serious gun control measures. But millions of people in the country’s inner cities live with the threat of gun violence on a daily basis.

America’s War Games
The United States’ military expenditures today account for about 40 percent of the world total. In 2012, the US spent some $682bn on its military – an amount more than what was spent by the next 13 countries combined.

SciShow: Great Minds
SciShow delves into the minds of some of humanity’s greatest scientists.

BRIDAL SLAVES
In the midst of widespread poverty, fueled by economic inequality and rampant corruption, a new form of slavery – bridal slavery – has flourished in India. Women and young girls are sold for as little as $120 to men who often abuse them.

Culture in Decline: Baby Go Boom!
If you watch the news these days it seems to be a lot to be concerned about. Nuclear, war, terrorism, mass shootings, bombings, corporate fraud, bird flu, bank,failures, unemployment, contamination, gangs, general crime, and depending on your temperament and conditioning perhaps you’ve already armed yourself to the teeth and you’re watching this show from an underground bunkers somewhere, waiting for the end of civilization itself.

Statin Nation: The Great Cholesterol Cover-Up

We are told that cholesterol is a major cause of heart disease. At least 40 million people are currently taking cholesterol-lowering medications, known as statins, and millions more people are avoiding foods that contain saturated fat and cholesterol.

GIVE US THE MONEY
From Live Aid to Make Poverty History, celebrities have become activists against poverty. Bob Geldof and Bono have been the most prominent voices advocating on behalf of the poor.

ON BOARD AIR FORCE ONE
Get the ultimate tour of Air Force One, including the President’s bedroom and restricted areas where top-secret technology is housed. Then meet the presidential pilot and the crew charged with operating this global command center in the sky.

Poor Us: An Animated History
The poor may always have been with us, but attitudes towards them have changed. Beginning in the Neolithic Age, Ben Lewis’s film takes us through the changing world of poverty.

Extradition

Extradition is a film that explores the injustices of the Extradition Act 2003 through the suffering of two individuals and their families. Talha Ahsan and Babar Ahmed held without charge can be extradited according to the European Court of Human Rights. They have been held without charge for over 14 years collectively. The court concluded that “there would be no violation of the applicants’ rights if extradited to stand trial in the United States”. These men have been let down by the British justice system and now face being incarcerated in one of America’s toughest prisons.

DPRK: THE LAND OF WHISPERS (NORTH KOREA)

“Land of Whispers” invites you to visit arguably the most unique and isolated travel destination in the world – not to criticize, but to observe and listen. Aside from usual highlights such as Pyongyang or Arirang, this unique one-man documentary brings you to areas such as Chongjin or Wonson, still virtually unknown to even google or wikipedia. There, I attempt to pierce through the ever-present ‘national mythology’ and as much as possible, I try to connect with people – such as the waitress mesmerized by tablet computers, or a tour guide cautiously fascinated by modern pop culture.

MARS: WORLD THAT NEVER WAS

In 1964 the Mariner Four spacecraft flew by Mars and got a good look. What it saw looked more like the Moon than the Earth. Then, in the mid-1970′s, two lander-orbiter robot teams, named Viking, went in for an even closer look. The landers tested the soil for the chemical residues of life. All the evidence from Viking told us: Mars is dead. And extremely harsh.

NEEDLE EXCHANGE – SWAP HEROIN HABITS WITH A PASSION FOR TATTOOS

Needle Exchange tells the story of Spencer and Glenn, two best friends who helped each other swap their heroin habits with a passion for tattoos. Ink is their link, but their bond is tested when a new romantic relationship threatens the friendship.

IDA’S CHOICE – TRYING TO SURVIVE IN RED LIGHT DISTRICT

Ida is a young woman trying to survive in Chow Kit, which is also known as Kuala Lumpur’s red light district.

NEVER SAY DIE – THE SECRET OF THE WORLD’S OLDEST PEOPLE

China’s remote Bama County is home to a significant number of the worlds oldest people but what is the secret of a long and happy life? Today this remains the eternal unanswered question.

WELCOME TO PARADISE CITY
Paradise City shows us an unexposed side of homelessness at a young age, a side that we all should be aware of. We walk & ride past homeless people everyday and wonder how they got there. These questions often lead to our assumptions that they are lazy, trouble makers, or were addicted to drugs. Although this may be true in some cases, we should look at our own reflection and ask ourselves, what addictions do we have? What’s so different in our lives that solidifies our livelihood and luxuries we often take for granted?

THE CUBAN SKATEBOARD CRISIS
A short Documentary filmed in Cuba exploring the problems faced by young Cuban skateboarders due to the trade embargo’s with the US. Produced, Directed & Filmed by Phil Brown.

CROSSING MEXICO’S OTHER BORDER
But we assume that most immigrants trying to cross the US/Mexico border are all Mexican. The reality is that a large percentage of them come from Central America, and their journey north is grueling For those hoping to get across the US border, they first have to pass through Mexico, an ordeal that often ends up being even more difficult than getting into the United States.

LIVING WITH ADHD
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is one of the most feared and misunderstood of all neurological medical conditions. Despite over 200 scientific papers being published on this neurological condition every year, it remains stigmatized and controversial. Yet some doctors don’t even believe it exists.

COPS BEHAVING BADLY
BBC’s Richard Bilton investigates cops who behave badly, and discovers just how many cases are dealt with by the police themselves behind closed doors.

BRITAIN’S CHILD BEGGARS
Meet Alice. She is a four-year-old child out on London’s Oxford street begging hours on end, day in, day out. Alice is just one of Britain’s Gypsy child beggars, and she can earn hundreds of pounds a day.

Decoding the Past: The Templar Code

For almost 200 years, the Knights Templar was the most powerful group in the medieval world. Today, the group’s legacy showcased in an array of Hollywood blockbusters and a number of literary works.
