FORD TRANSIT
Documentary
Filmmaker Hany Abu-Assad provides a rare chance to listen to conversations among West Bank Palestinians as they take a ride in a Ford mini-van shuttling between Ramallah and Jerusalem. Their driver is Rajai Khatib, a charismatic rebel adept at negotiating - and sometimes avoiding - the many roadblocks and checkpoints that make such daily commutes laborious. Aboard for the ride are a lawyer, a filmmaker, the mother of a suicide bomber and a local politician, who offer divergent views on President Bush, Yasser Arafat and the possibility of peace. TVPG (AC, AL) CCAP/Stereo/Letterbox/Subtitles (2002 ) Color (69 mins)

THE PRESIDENT VERSUS DAVID HICKS
Documentary
The father of a young Australian who embraced fundamentalist Muslim ideals, and came to be labeled a "unlawful combatant" by President Bush, retraces his son's journey from Adelaide to Guantánamo Bay in this compelling documentary by Curtis Levy. With excerpts from letters to family and friends and interviews with a former Guantánamo detainee and a Northern Alliance commander, this disturbing and thought-provoking film contemplates the transformation of a naïve horse trainer and rodeo rider into an anti-Semitic acolyte. TV14 (AC, AL) (2004 ) Color (81 mins)

UNCOVERED: THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT THE IRAQ WAR
Feature
Filmmaker Robert Greenwald, creator of the 2000 election expose Unprecedented, considers the Bush administration's case for the Iraq War and finds among the alarmist rhetoric little supporting evidence to back it up. Revealing news clips and interviews with intelligence veterans - including Scott Ritter, Clare Short and Joseph Wilson - make the case that the Bush administration misled the world with dubious statements, empty innuendoes and unchallenged untruths. "A devastating analysis" - Senator Edward Kennedy. TVPG (AC) Stereo (2004 ) Color (56 mins)

WITH GOD ON OUR SIDE: GEORGE W. BUSH AND THE RISE OF THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT IN AMERICA
Documentary
Since the 1950s, politicians who ignored the growing power of evangelical voters did so at their own peril. In this two-part documentary, director David Van Taylor and producers Calvin Skaggs, Charles Schuerhoff and Ali Pomeroy place the character and presidency of George W. Bush in context with a brief history of the religious right's journey from isolation to influence. Interviews with leading evangelists and rare film clips provide a revealing glimpse into recent American history and the personal story of the 43rd President of the US. TVPG (AC) (2004 ) Color/B&W (100 mins)

bonk.
Is it possible to file a complaint against them too. Especially since it's Redford and some viacom guy that owns it.
We're not going to be able to go after Showtime or PPV for airing Farenheit 9/11 because it is purely a work of fiction. No equal time is required.
Brit Hume made the Sinclair-Sundance comparison on tonight's Special Report.
I'm sure the dims are aiming for that.
Sinclair has made it clear that they don't care about fines, they're running it anyway.
Brit's comment is what made me curious. Thought I'd share.
I wonder how many homes Sundance reaches as opposed to Sinclair, I get Sundance, I don't watch it. People who get Sinclair don't have to watch it either, it's a choice, like I have, not to watch Sundance.
Liberals are engaged in a battle to save the world from nasty right-wing Republicans. Therefore they are immune from logic, fairness, intellectual consistancy, and the law of gravity. Are you new or something??
(steely)
Thanks John.
Where's the Democratic FCC commissioner's outrage over SUNDANCE. In addition to the Irony of Robert Redford's Sundance for Kerry Network, The irony is the left doesn't see the irony of claiming that Sinclair is abusing the public trust, in a month that saw CBS exposed by Rathergate and ABC issued DNC marching orders to its reporters.
Maybe just an idealistic conflicted born-again South Park conservative :o)
bump!
None of it surprises me.
But I do think the DNC should be inundated with this question....where is their outrage at Sundance??????
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
sorry.
You missed this one
NATIONAL ANTHEM: INSIDE THE VOTE FOR CHANGE CONCERT TOUR
Documentary
Albert Maysles and D.A. Pennebaker have long been considered two of America's most influential documentary filmmakers. In the early 60s, Maysles and Pennebaker were part of documentary movement called direct cinema, which used the new technology of portable cameras to capture life as it unfolded. This technique proved essential in capturing America's burgeoning counter culture, especially as it related to music. In 1967, D.A. Pennebaker shadowed a relatively unknown folk singer by the name of Bob Dylan during a three week concert tour of England for his documentary DON'T LOOK BACK. Three years later, in GIMME SHELTER, Albert Maysles and his late brother David captured the violent reality of the Rolling Stones ill-fated concert at Altamont Speedway. In the tradition of these legendary works, Maysles and Pennebaker unite to take America's social pulse with a new documentary project, "National Anthem: Inside the Vote for Change Concert Tour." This film marks their first collaboration in forty years. Conceived by a loose coalition of musicians six months ago, "Vote for Change" is a multi-city, multi-artist swing-state tour taking place in early October. The "National Anthem" special captures this pivotal moment in US history through informal footage of musicians (including Bruce Springsteen, Dixie Chicks, and R.E.M) and their audiences in intimate moments from the tour. The documentary will be followed by a live broadcast of the final "Vote for Change" concert in Washington D.C. (2004 ) Color (315 mins)
