Letters to Ali (2004)
Great film
I thought "Letters to Ali" was an excellent film. It was a great slam against John Howard's policies towards asylum seekers. It is a shame that many Australians embrace what he does believing it is done with the intent of keeping us safe.
Many keep hearing about the brutal the Taliban are and support the actions of the Coalition in removing them. Yet when they come to us to seek refuge and a safer place they are incarcerated and treated as badly as they would if under the Taliban.
This film should definitely be seen in schools. If more people see it they will see the human tragedy and come to understand the plight of asylum seekers.
I am Australian; I am ashamed of Howard's policies and the racist attitude adopted by Australians
Uncle Saddam (2000)
it was quite good
Saddam, (Which is the Australian title) was quite a good insight into this psychopath and his rule.It didn't make rethink my opposition to the Iraq war but rather, why the hell did the West support this guy in the first place.
The director has done a good job at letting us see how Saddam ran the country into the ground but fails mention how he got the money and the weapons which he used in his atrocities. But then again that isn't the point of the movie.
For those who think Bush is a freedom loving person either don't know or care that he is overlooking similar human rights violations occur in Uzebekistan as it has become an ally in the War on terror.
