Stone Silence - 51min Documentary See full film here: http://www.booserver.com/projects.php?ProjectID=3191 Amina is stoned to death for infidelity. Before the dust has settled her community, those guilty of her brutal killing, is already closing in on itself. A wall of silence now surrounds the village of Spingule, tucked away in a remote valley of Northern Afghanistan. Caught in the house of a man who was not her husband, Amina's sentence was to be stoned to death, and the village wasted no time in seeing that it happened. Through interviews with Amina's family and with her lover, this powerful and moving documentary pierces through the veil of shame and secrecy that now surrounds Amina's death. The dramatic landscape of the Pamir Mountains is a haunting presence throughout this story. In Spingul, a man points to Amina's grave: 'We don't know if Amina had a heart attack or committed suicide.' Rumours of a stoning drew the media's attention to the case and a local Afghan government official sent clerks and doctors to examine the body. They concluded that the young woman had died of a heart attack. Karim is the man accused of being Amina's lover. His family has also been branded by the scandal. Karim was beaten several times and forced to spend six months fleeing from the villagers' wrath. He denies any involvement with the victim but his voice shakes with fear. 'I don't know anything about the fact that Amina had some feelings for me. She had a husband in Iran. Her parents made up the whole story. I don't know anything about it.' His mother remembers how a delegation of mullahs came to seek her agreement for the punishment of her own son and of Amina. She refused, but she claims that the girl's mother was eager to consent. In harsh words, Amina's mother condemns her daughter's suspected adultery. To her, this breach of Islamic law is a stain that can never be wiped off: 'She lost her path and left us irritated without honour. A thousand times I've forgiven those who have my daughter's blood on their hands.' Amina's mother knew that her daughter was unhappy and dissatisfied with her life, but she remains unsympathetic. In her eyes, she has deserved her cruel fate. Then she takes off her Burka, and for a brief moment the sorrow in her face contrasts with her pitiless words. In her stern Islamic world, respect for Allah's law takes precedence over personal feelings. In a revealing aside, the local mullah confirms her views: 'In Islam, there are no personal opinions. There are God's decisions and prophet's issues.' Amina's parents were sentenced to six years in prison by the court in Argu. However, the police and prosecutor set them free even though the accused admitted that they had decided to stone her. The judge was irate: 'Where is conscience and responsibility? (...) Each case, which darkens our country and people is a tragedy. I can't tolerate that. You need to have a heart to improve our country.' Tags: stoning infidelity Journeyman Pictures

Finding Our Voices - 52min Documentary See Full Film Here: http://www.booserver.com/projects.php?ProjectID=3190 They knew that their country was violating every ideal it purported to stand for....so they put their lives on the line and attempted to stop a war. From the raw energy of street demonstrations, to interviews with compelling personalities, this is a film about eight courageous Americans who risked their lives, liberty and reputations to avert the Iraq war. A grandmother who saw her son die at the World Trade centre on September 11th, 2001 struggles to provide him with a legacy of peace. "I felt it was an abomination that he would die trying to save lives, and, as a result of that, tens of thousands would lose their lives," cries Adele Welty. A soldier who felt his sacrifice was based on a lie. "I was personally hurt to find out that every reason I was told that I had to go to that country, invade that country, go to war with that country was false," asserts John Bruhns. "We were told WMD, we were told an imminent threat to this country, we were told a possible link between Saddam and Al Qaeda ... it seems as if now that doesn't matter any more ... like it's a moot point. That bothers me." Soldiers and politicians, activists and mothers, transform tragedy into hope, sacrificing everything to speak a truth that was often condemned as treasonous. "When you look at the whole issue of democracy, it's a thin line between being a democracy and being a fascist state; and it's easy to slip over to being a fascist state, when citizens cease to question, when citizens cease to hold accountable," declares Rev. Graylan Hagler. Continuing in an oft forgotten tradition of American dissent, the eight heroes portrayed in Finding Our Voices remind audiences that citizens are the key elements of a democracy, and that it is our job to change the world.

Beating The Taliban By The Book - Afghanistan August 2008 Can America really beat the Taliban using a textbook? We take a look at the practice behind the theory, as Charlie Company attempt to follow the instructions laid out in the Counterinsurgency Field Manual. Seen as "a modern military textbook for winning hearts and minds and outwitting the enemy" the book also known as the COIN Manual, was written by some of America's finest military minds. So can the Americans really win by the book? The Manual states: "Counterinsurgents often achieve the most meaningful success in garnering public support...with activities that do not include killing insurgents". Yet for all the activities that exclude killing, this is a war. The American troops are at their best when under attack and the other side of war is reveling in the death of your enemies. "It's like the Superbowl; or like Manchester United and Chelsea, we're cheering for our team," claims one soldier laughing and celebrating with his comrades as Taliban are killed. The Manual also states: "Executing COIN operations is complex, demanding and tedious. There are no quick solutions." Few know this better than the soldiers who have been here for over a year and those forced to chop down trees with axes after their chainsaws fail to work. "It's almost like all of this stuff that we're doing is worthless." America expects its soldiers to be nation builders as well as warriors but are they simply asking too much?

Olympic Post Mortem - China August 2008 As the world watched the Olympics closing ceremony on Sunday, we discover just what made this the most important event to happen in China since the proclamation of the People's Republic in 1949. "In 1908 a Chinese newspaper wrote; imagine if one day we can host the Olympics. Only hours remain before the dream of a century will become reality." Nobody could appreciate this more than Liang, whose daughter won China's first gold in weightlifting. "This is a celebration that took China 100 years to achieve." Yet the many strict regulations have created many out-of-pocket farmers and builders. Tags: olympics olypmic 2008 china family social athletes beijing journeyman pictures

Narita Airport - Japan August 2008 Most travellers to Tokyo would be oblivious to the years of conflict surrounding Narita International Airport. But for the local farmers the battle to save their land from becoming a runway is still going on. Back in the 1960s Japan was growing rapidly and the farmland at Narita, 60 kilometres north of Tokyo, seemed a good choice for a large international airport. But the planners severely underestimated the determination of the farmers. As the years dragged on students, housewives and anarchists joined the farmers and there have been many battles with the police. Noriko Ishii was a university student drawn into the protests "I felt it was unreasonable for the farmers to be kicked off their land -- because they worked very hard growing rice and vegetables." Today 60% of Japans international flights use Narita but only one runway can be used for large jets all because 8 landowners refuse to sell.

Laron Dwarfs - Ecuador August 2008 In the isolated mountains of Ecuador, a community of four-feet tall dwarves appear to be immune from cancer and diabetes. Here, two scientists are on a mission to find the ultimate cure for cancer. Inbreeding among the small and remote Ecuadorian communities has led to a high percentage of Laron Dwarves. One third of the world's 300 Laron population live in the southern Loja province. "My parents are normal, my grandparents were normal. I have seven siblings, four of them are normal height and three of us are little," says one Laron sufferer. Dr Marco Guevaras and his brother Jaime believe the secret behind the dwarves' apparent immunity lies in the absence of a hormone called "insulin-like growth factor 1 or IGF1". Yet the scientists need to move fast in their research; an expensive treatment has already been discovered to alleviate the symptoms of the syndrome in children.

Living In Our Vans - USA August 2008 Since the beginning of the mortgage crisis one and a half million Americans have lost their homes. With banks repossessing their houses, many have been left no other option than to move into their cars. The streets of California are now filled with people who call their car their home. Jennifer Clement, explains, "The estimated value of our house went to 120,000 U.S. dollars within a month. After losing all the money, we literally landed on the street and were forced to live in our caravan". It is a vicious circle: Without a job - no home. Without an apartment - no job.

Clown Prince - Italy August 2008 Meet Beppe Grillo, or 'the crown prince of Italian politics'. Disenchanted by decades of corrupt politicians, a porous economy, the mafia and thousands of tonnes of rubbish, Grillo is using humour to shape up Naples. "Our weapons have been to ask for signatures! Our main weapon is to grab them by the arse!" Grillo's petition for individuals to compete in elections gained a million signatures. He even launched "V Day" with V standing for "Vaffanculo" or "fuck off". But with political parties dictating the media, how did he do it? "With the web, you can make miracles." Grillo uses his web blog to discuss the corruption implicit in Italian politics. Yet despite widespread backing, the old regime remains, "Italians have short memories a little longer than goldfish". This may explain the re-election of extravagant billionaire Prime Minister Berlusconi or as Grillo says, "the dwarf with asphalt hair."

China's Media Mogul - China August 2008 Wang Zhongjun is one of China's 415,000 millionaires and is head of Huayi Brothers -- a Chinese media empire. What does this former Communist Party member turned tycoon have to say about China's communist-capitalist paradox? In a world where these two political models were once polar opposites, Wang seems to have found a compromise. "I'm not sure if I'm a capitalist or a communist, I don't think people think much about 'ists' today. All we need to do is work hard to improve our lives and the lives of those around us," he muses in his glamourous Beijing home. Wang firmly believes the rich should be the first to be obligated to helping others. In China, an economic "superpower on steroids", state capital is rapidly being transformed into private wealth. Could entrepreneurs like Wang pave the way for a new socially responsible capitalist mindset in the country? Tags: China Billionaire communism capitalism media film company journeyman pictures

Burundi's Road To Recovery - Burundi August 2008 Burundi's President, Pierre Nkurunziza loves nothing more than taking to the soccer field. He uses these appearances, which inevitably draw large crowds, to push his message of peace and reconciliation. "We shouldn't hold back on attacking but we shouldn't hurt him," a coach tells his team who are about to play the Haleluya Football Club. The Halelyua team's star player and focus of the coach's remark is none other than Nkurunziza. Burundi's "Football President" believes that the great game can unite the tribal divisions that ravaged his nation. "Soccer in Burundi is very popular and when you come here you see all the people, even the old men, old women, come to watch. It is very important to unite the people." Until four years ago Nkurunziza was a rebel soldier waging a guerilla war against the Tutsi soldiers. In 2005 he was elected President under a deal to end the conflict between the Tutsi-dominated army and Hutu rebels. Finally a ceasefire seems to be holding. "We can publicly announce that we have ended the war. And the energy we were using to fight and to flee, will now be used to mend the hearts of the people of Burundi and to develop our country," exclaims Nkurunziza. The government has promised universal health care and free primary education. Yet in a nation where money is sparse, everyone is called in to help and the President is setting the example.
