Its been dubbed the decade that taste forgot but to suggest the 1980s didnt have its fair share of exceptional music is folly indeed. And virtually none was as exceptional as that which came from Kate Bush.

This film puts Hounds Of Love under the microscope and with the aid of musicians who played on the album Kates biographer journalists Kris Needs and Lucy O Brien musicologist Chris Ingham and a host of other contributors the story behind the albums build-up production release impact and legacy is told here in full.

Startling and powerful, Control Room is a documentary about the Arab television network Al-Jazeera's coverage of the U.S.-led Iraqi war, and conflicts that arose in managed perceptions of truth between that news media outlet and the American military. Egyptian-American filmmaker Jehane Noujaim (Startup.com) catches the frantic action at Al-Jazeera headquarters as President Bush stipulates his 48-hour, get-out-of-town warning to Saddam Hussein and sons, soon followed by the network's shocking footage of Iraqi civilians terrorized and killed by invading U.S. troops. Al-Jazeera's determination to show images and report details outside the Pentagon's carefully controlled information flow draws the wrath of American officials, who accuse it of being an al-Qaida propagandist. (The killing of an Al-Jazeera reporter in what appears to be a deliberately targeted air strike is horrifying.) Most fascinating is the way Control Room allows well-meaning, Western-educated, pro-democratic Arabs an opportunity to express views on Iraq as they see it--in an international context, and in a way most Americans never hear about. --Tom Keogh

Unveiling the corrosive relationships which have corrupted politics and business in post Soviet Russia, director Cyril Tuschi asks the million Ruble question - why did Khodorkovsky leave friends and family behind for life in a Siberian gulag?
