Like many a race car builder, designer De Tomaso hoped to emulate
Ferrari and build road cars that would embody the qualities of his
racing cars and be fast, good handling cars. Today, Panteras are
among the most trouble-free exotic Italian cars on the road and are
far cheaper to run and own than Ferraris, Maseratis and
Lamborghinis due to De Tomaso and Ford's fortuitous choice of an
off-the-shelf Mustang engine, the robust 310-hp. This documentary
looks at the history of the legendary automobile.
Placing the art of design in its sociological and technological
context, this film tells the story of 20th century design through
the industrial objects that have become icons of their time,
reflecting their own era while simultaneously anticipating the
future. Objects include the Bookworm bookshelf, Concorde, the
Cafetiere coffee maker, the Leica camera, the lounge chair and the
Vespa scooter.
As US soldiers occupied war-torn Afghanistan in 2002, a young Afghan taxi driver called Dilawar was arrested, along with his passengers, at a checkpoint for an alleged involvement in a Taliban rocket attack.
Confined to a solitary cell at Bagram, Dilawar was chained and exposed to continuous beatings and torture from the US soldiers. Five days after his arrest, Dilawar died.
Winner of the 2008 Oscar for Best Documentary Feature, Taxi To The Dark Side is a searing insight into the modern-day role of torture and political corruption in the war on terror, from Abu Ghraih through to Guantanamo Bay.
Hannah Hauxwell first appeared in a Yorkshire television
documentary about the plight of farmers in the Dales. The response
from viewers was so great that a further two films were made about
her over the ensuing years. In 'Too Long a Winter' (1973), Hannah
gamely struggles to maintain her farm in the North Yorkshire dales.
Her battle to survive alone on an isolated farm with no electricity
or running water - and in abject poverty - made her the nation's
most unlikely celebrity. In 'A Winter Too Many' (1989), 16 years
have elapsed since the last film and a combination of fading health
and a series of devastatingly bitter winters culminates in Hannah
being heart-wrenchingly driven off her beloved farm. In the last
documentary, 'Innocent Abroad' (1991), Hannah, at the age of 65,
goes travelling for the first time in her life. She retraces the
steps of Victorian maiden ladies as her grand tour of Europe
commences in Paris and along the way takes in Switzerland, Germany,
Austria and Italy, before arriving home in opulent splendour on
board the Orient Express.
