The Vice Guide to Liberia
A really good documentary about todays Liberia and the horrors and just plain crazy stuff that happened in the wars in the 90s.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

Watched a Movie on Youtube the other night, being rather bored...

Escape from Sobibor
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyzgwVwDTq0&feature=related

It involved the (apparently true) story about a Nazi extermination camp (Sobibor) in Poland; in which trains of Jews were brought in and gassed daily. However, with the help of Russian PoW's, an escape plan is plotted...

A very intresting, however, rather sad video. Overall, I would recommend.

John Pilger - The War You Don't See

( bashing the media for their part in wars )
"It is the function of the CIA to keep the world unstable, and to propagandize and teach the American people to hate and fear, so we will let the Establishment spend any amount of money on arms."

I'm quite surprised that the documentary "Restrepo" hasn't been mentioned here yet.
A journalist and a filmmaker followed a platoon of the 173rd Airborne Division for one year on deployment in Afghanistan's Korangal Valley.
Absolutely worth to watch.
