We always hear about suicide bombers and how many Israeli soldiers and civilians are killed. We never hear about Palestinian casualties or why Palestinians might be taking the extreme act of killing themselves to make a point. This link is just one story of many similar that we never hear about:

In no particular order:
An Inconvenient Truth
I never realised that Al Gore was concerned about global warming way before running for President. It's a crime that the presidency was stolen from him. I admire him for what he's trying to do. Despite some sentimentality in the DVD, it's an excellent documentary about the real concerns of global warming. Go here http://www.climatecrisis.net/ for more info.
Control Room
A fascinating look inside the Arab news network, Al Jazeera. It's always interesting to get the other side of the story - something we westerners rarely get.
The Corporation
Multinational corporations are the equivalent of psychopaths, pure and simple.
No Logo
Excellent documentary based on Naomi Klein's book about big brands and the destruction of consumer choice.
Supersize Me
If you haven't seen it and are still eating McDonalds, watch it. It should put you off junkfood.
Fahrenheit 9/11
Criticised mainly because it was made by Michael Moore, whom people seem to love to hate. Regardless, he raises some good points and still unanswered questions.
Return to the Land of Wonders
I've discussed this movie before here:

Well worth watching.
