View Hitchcock's newsreel documentary, "Night Will Fall", commemorating 70th anniversary of liberation of concentration camps;

When Auschwitz and other camps were liberated, the British army sent along a film unit. With the help of supervising director Alfred Hitchcock, the shocking footage was meant for a documentary called German Concentration Camps Factual Survey. However, as the war came to a close, the governments that had once supported exposing German crimes had a new interest in reconciliation and plans for the film were scrapped.

70 years later, a new documentary, Night Will Fall, tells the story of how the footage came to be, and what happened to it. Night Will Fall premieres today on HBO.

New "9/11 The Heartland Tapes" depicts America's realization of Jihadist war inside heartland. Airs Sept 8th-11th on the Smithsonian Channel

Across America, the morning of September 11, 2001 began routinely, with news and radio broadcasts sharing local human interest stories and traffic reports. But by 9:00 AM, the day's narrative had taken a tragic turn. Most of us are familiar with the national news coverage of 9/11, but the local reporting from TV and radio affiliates across the nation was no less important and no less compelling. "9/11- The Heartland Tapes" is an account of the tragedy as it unfolded, and as it aired in American cities large and small, told without narration or interviews.

DemoCast caught-up with Executive Producer Tom Jennings following his panel at the Society for Professional Journalists conference in Anaheim in August.



Consulting producer, Liza Maddrey, discusses the need for this documentary, a dozen years after the event.


The Smithsonian Channel will air the documentary on (all times ET / PT): SUNDAY 09/08 8:00pm; MONDAY 9/09 12:00am; and WEDNESDAY 09/11 7:00am.

Documentary "2016 Obama's America" asks "If Obama wins, what kind of changes will we be living under in 2016?"

The documentary, 2016 Obama’s America takes audiences on a gripping visual journey into the heart of the world’s most powerful office to reveal the struggle of whether one man’s past will redefine America over the next four years. The film examines the question, “If Obama wins a second term, where will we be in 2016?”



Across the globe and in America, people in 2008 hungered for a leader who would unite and lift us from economic turmoil and war. True to America’s ideals, they invested their hope in a new kind of president, Barack Obama. What they didn’t know is that Obama is a man with a past, and in powerful ways that past defines him--who he is, how he thinks, and where he intends to take America and the world.

Immersed in exotic locales across four continents, best selling author Dinesh D’Souza races against time to find answers to Obama’s past and reveal where America will be in 2016. During this journey he discovers how Hope and Change became radically misunderstood, and identifies new flashpoints for hot wars in mankind’s greatest struggle. The journey moves quickly over the arc of the old colonial empires, into America’s empire of liberty, and we see the unfolding realignment of nations and the shape of the global future.

D'Souza walks the Jakarta, Indonesia where Obama was bred

Producer, Gerald Molen, has produced many of the most memorable films in the last three decades including blockbusters like Jurassic Park,
Twister, Days of Thunder, Hook and Minority Report. He was a producer for the Academy Award winning film Schindler’s List and coproducer for Rain Man which won the Oscar for Best Picture.


The documentary may be viewed online, here, for free, for a limited time. Share this article with your friends, family, and colleagues who would benefit by becoming better informed with the information about Barack Hussein Obama, Jr's anti-colonialist, anti-capitalist upbringing and worldview.

The Daily Caller reports:

“Obama’s America” hit another roadblock last week when false reports circulated that Fox News Channel was planning to air the documentary for free. 

“The reports of the movie appearing on Fox before the election are completely untrue and we strongly suspect that they are the result of dirty tricks by our opponents who spread this rumor in order to confuse the general public and keep them from going to their local theaters,” D’Souza said.”We urge all Americans to ignore these efforts and go to their local theater and enjoy the movie on the big screen.” 

The film, which traces President Obama’s past in an attempt understand his worldview, has exceeded all box office expectations by becoming the second-highest grossing political documentary of all time. 

So far, it has earned over $30 million since opening in July, according to Deadline, meaning Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11″ is the only political documentary to surpass “2016″ in ticket sales. 

Someone illegally uploaded the film to YouTube in “what they suspect to be an organized effort to drive viewers away from the theatrical showing of the film.” 

Late Sunday night, someone uploaded the entire film to YouTube. In a statement released Monday, the producers said that the suspect opponents of the film put it on the Internet to diffuse box office sales.

Anti-Semitism in the 21st Century: the Resurgence on PBS Mon 8 Jan

Tom Tugend writes in L.A.'s Jewish Journal:

The PBS documentary, "Anti-Semitism in the 21st Century: The Resurgence," will discomfit viewers of all stripes. Airing Monday, Jan. 8 (check local listing- at 10 p.m. on KCET in L.A.), the film will annoy those who believe that rising anti-Semitism is a myth fueled by Jewish paranoia and self-serving Jewish defense agencies.Equally upset will be those who argue that anti-Semitism, particularly in the Islamic world, is just using the same old stick to beat up on a blameless Israel.In addition, fervent believers in a global Jewish conspiracy, if any tune in, will be enraged at seeing their worldview demolished and ridiculed. Within one hour, the documentary, narrated by veteran broadcast journalist Judy Woodruff, covers a lot of territory in a graphic and efficient manner. We are given a capsule history of Jew hatred both in the Christian West and Muslim East, accompanied throughout by horrifying cartoons across the centuries depicting the Jew as "Christ killer," blood sucker, ravisher of virgins and plotter of world domination.Numerous experts weigh in on the Middle East conflict and its impact on the resurgence of anti-Semitism. On the whole, the arguments balance each other out, with perhaps a slight edge to our side, thanks to Woodruff's narration. Considerable airtime is given to New York University professor Tony Judt, often denounced for his harsh criticism of Israeli policy and leadership. In this program, however, he limits himself mainly to exploring the growing Muslim immigration and influence in Europe.Israel's Natan Sharansky and the American Jewish Committee's David Harris effectively lay out the Jewish role in the fight against anti-Semitism. A telling analysis of the corrupting effect of anti-Semitism on the Arab masses is given, surprisingly, by Salameh Nematt, Washington bureau chief for Al Hayat, an independent Arab daily published in London.Princeton historian Bernard Lewis draws a useful distinction between Christian and Muslim anti-Semitism over the centuries.In the Islamic world, the Jew, though not equal, was tolerated and did not carry the satanic aura painted in medieval Europe, said Lewis, who "credited" British and other Christian theologians with introducing modern anti-Semitism into the Arab world.Perhaps the most surprising emphasis in the film is on the deep and persisting impact of "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" in shaping the prejudices of European anti-Semites and the convictions of Arab leaders and masses.The "Protocols," a Czarist forgery of the early 1900s, has proven particularly useful to Muslim presidents and clerics to rationalize how the "inferior" Jews of Israel could repeatedly outfight proud Arab nations.While the Arabs have never gotten over their defeat in the 1967 Six-Day War, their humiliation is lessened if they can believe that they were beaten by the cosmic evil power portrayed in the "Protocols."The one point of agreement among the experts is that anti-Semitism will not disappear, because "it serves so many purposes," notes professor Dina Porat of Tel Aviv University.Added Woodruff, "Israel is used as a coat hanger" by Arab leaders, who can attach all their problems on it and divert their people from their poverty and corrupt regimes.The PBS production was produced, written and directed by Andrew Goldberg, who recently documented "The Armenian Genocide," in association with Oregon Public Broadcasting.
