Goede Docu's?!

Militant Islam enjoyed its first modern triumph with the arrival in power of Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran in 1979. In this series of three programmes, key figures tell the inside story.

Former US president Jimmy Carter talks on television for the first time about the episode that, more than any other, led American voters to eject him from the presidency. Iran's seizure of the US embassy in Tehran and the holding of its staff for 444 days took more and more of Carter's time and energy. His final days in office were dominated by desperate attempts to secure the release of the embassy hostages. Those who sat in the White House with him, planning how to rescue the hostages, how to negotiate their release and, finally, wondering whether anything could be rescued from the disaster, all tell their part in the story.

Other contributors include former vice president Walter Mondale, ex-deputy secretary of state Warren Christopher and former national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski. The other side of the story is told by top Iranians: Ayatollah Khomeini's close adviser, Grand Ayatollah Montazeri; his first foreign minister, Ebrahim Yazdi; his negotiator with the US, Sadeq Tabatabai; and the founder of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, Mohsen Rafiqdoust.

Ik zag 'm op pagina 1 al staan en dit is toch stiekem alleen maar een TVP, maar sinds ik Louis Theroux in het echt heb gezien en ik hem net zo echt, eerlijk, sukkelig en charmant vond als op TV, kijk ik graag naar zijn documentaires. Die trouwens nu veel op televisie voorbij komen, ik zag er gisteren nog eentje op een Nederlandse zender, ik weet niet meer welke (de zender dan).

'Earth 2100': Could This Be the Final Century of Our Civilization?
Bob Woodruff Explores Potential Scientific Scenarios for the Earth's Future
May 29, 2009

Imagine a world in which cities are abandoned and our population has dropped by 90 percent. A world in which we have wreaked havoc on our delicate ecosystems and nature has begun to reclaim Earth. Once-bustling cities have fallen silent except for the rustle of the wind through the grass and trees that have cracked through the collapsing pavement. Humans have not walked these urban streets for years.
Earth 2100 Series
ABC News' "Earth 2100," hosted by Bob Woodruff, takes viewers on a journey through what the next century could have in store.
(Handout)

Does it seem like the stuff of science fiction? According to the world's top scientists, it could very well be the legacy we leave our children and grandchildren. They say we are at a turning point, that the choices we make today will determine if the human race, as we know it, will survive.

Watch "Earth 2100," a two-hour television event, Tuesday, June 2, at 9 p.m. ET.

Imagine our future as two doors. Door No. 1 is our current path, or as the scientists put it, business as usual. If we continue on this trajectory, experts say, over the next 100 years the "perfect storm" of population growth, resource depletion and climate change will converge with catastrophic results. In this scenario the combination of war, famine and disease has the potential to decimate the world in less than a hundred years.

"Earth 2100" takes viewers through door No.1, with the help of a fictional character, Lucy. Born in the year 2009, Lucy guides us through the next century as it may well unfold, if we don't take drastic measures. With the assistance of some of the world's foremost scientific experts, she gives us a detailed decade-by-decade countdown to the collapse of society.

But it does not have to be. "Earth 2100" will conclude by traveling through door No. 2. The clock resets to 2009, and using the same chronology and the same scientists, we leave the viewer with the inspiring story of an alternate future. The experts tell us what actions we must take to survive and describe the world we can create. In this version, Earth in 2100 will be one we would be proud to imagine.

Gister 'Dogtown and Z-boys' eindelijk eens gezien. Stond eigenlijk al jaren op de planning.

Zeer interessante docu over de opkomst van de surf- en skateboarders (Z-boys) uit het vervallen Dogtown in LA in de jaren '70. Een stel zeer getallenteerde straatkids met een eigen unieke stijl die aan de wieg hebben gestaan van het hedendaagse professionele skateboarden:

Ik denk ook interessant voor mensen die verder niks met surfen of skateboarden hebben. Het is echt een docu over een zeer kleine subcultuur in Californië, 'Rock 'n Roll' en surf- en skateboarden!

Home, anderhalfuur lange docu over klimaat etc. Beetje langdradig maar het is wel de moeite waard.
