Karun – The Longest River of Iran

On September 22, 1998, the Iranian poet Hamid Hajizadeh and his nine-year-old son Karun, whose name symbolically refers to Iran's longest river, were brutally murdered in their home in Kerman. The documentary film, based on the statements of the survivors, tries to sensitively reconstruct one of the many terrible motivated events that took place in Iran at the end of the previous century and draws us into the fateful day with the help of detailed shots of the objects in Hamid's study.

Two characters, one clad in black and the other in white, embark on a quest to uncover the diamond within themselves. However, as they plunge deeper into the depths of each other's identities, they encounter a mirror that reflects both of their true essences. This reflection leads the two characters to unite their spirits into one. Yet, the diamond discovered throughout this journey does not belong to the characters themselves; instead, it is the audience's thoughts, refined and polished, that transform into the true diamond.

The Burning Of Judas

"The Burning of Judas is yet another of our country's many customs and traditions. Taking place every year around Easter, this centuries-old tradition involves setting fire to a doll covered in sawdust, rags, or newspaper, intended to represent Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus Christ's disciples and the famous traitor, and the main character in the second season of the soap opera "The Bible". However, this event isn't as innocent as it seems for everyone. In this episode of "Relatos da Vida do Nosso País", we'll learn the story of Mr. Vicente Judas, a bartender and treasurer of the Parada de Gonta Parish Council."

This feature length investigation by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit exposes Israeli war crimes in the Gaza Strip through the medium of photos and videos posted online by Israeli soldiers themselves during the year long conflict. The I-Unit has built up a database of thousands of videos, photos and social media posts. Where possible it has identified the posters and those who appear. The material reveals a range of illegal activities, from wanton destruction and looting to the demolition of entire neighbourhoods and murder. The film also tells the story of the war through the eyes of Palestinian journalists, human rights workers and ordinary residents of the Gaza Strip. And it exposes the complicity of Western governments – in particular the use of RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus as a base for British surveillance flights over Gaza.
