For RAF / Bader Meinhof - Germany In Autumn & German Sisters. In a
differnt vein bruce La Bruce made a film about the RAF as a sexual
fantasy (amongst other things) can't remember the title.
Islamic Fundamentalism & 9/11 - Power of Nightmares, One Day In
September, Dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y by Grimonprez, in a different vein
there's the action thriller Siege which is interesting merely because
it is about the response to suicide attacks in NYC.
9/11 - what angle? there's no-budget conspiratorial films like Loose
Change and then there's tv movies (wasn't one called Let's Roll?) and
then there's the obvious such as Michael Moore's Faranheit 9/11.
Palast's Bush Family Fortunes is good. Also Uncovered: the whole truth
about the Iraq War by Greenwald.
