Documentary maker Alex Gibney examines the WikiLeaks phenomenon and the question of how information is accessed globally. With a goal 'to bring important news and information to the public', the fledgling website, founded in 2006 by Australian Julian Assange, gained worldwide notoriety in 2010 with its leaking of highly sensitive US classified material, including the infamous 'Collateral Murder' footage of US air strikes on civilian targets in Iraq, along with over 250,000 diplomatic cables. In addition to detailing how the website came to be, the film explores the issues surrounding the freedom of information and moral responsibility, whilst comparing and contrasting the impact that the furore has had on founder Assange, and Pfc. Bradley Manning, the US soldier charged with supplying the leaked material.

R218 Discovery Miles 2 180 Out of stock

Multi-award winning documentary by Brazilian director José Padilha, exploring the conditions and circumstances that led to an armed siege on a Rio bus in June 2000. When Sandro do Nascimento, a young homeless man evidently high on drugs, failed in his attempt to rob Ônibus 174 in a wealthy area of Rio de Janeiro, he took the bus passengers hostage armed with a pistol. The situation escalated as the police, a SWAT team and reporters converged on the bus, and the hijacking unfolded in front of a nation until it reached its tragic and horrific climax. Padilha looks behind the event at the circumstances of Sandro's life: he had watched his mother's brutal murder as a small boy, and managed to survive the 1993 massacre of homeless children at Candelária. The documentary shows the desperation of Sandro's plight, using interviews with people involved in the event, including members of Sandro's family, and live television footage to tell this powerful and unsettling story.

While reflecting on days gone by, the owners and customers also give their thoughts on whether the pub can continue to withstand the test of time and present economic uncertainty.

With bands like Guns N' Roses and Jane's Addiction bursting onto the scene, Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, with its wide variety of clubs, became the place to be seen. This documentary takes a look back at some of these clubs and how they influenced the culture still around today.
