In the mud and bloody filth of the trenches and in the bullet-saturated air above the Eastern and Western fronts Jewish soldiers and airmen went to fight for their country. They did so pushing against a wave of discrimination from the country they were born into and whose cause they were absolutely convinced was just. Neither did they doubt that Germany would triumph and lead Europe and the Jews into a better world. 120 000 of them would die on the front lines for their country. Available in English for the first time we read the heart-warming moving and intensely personal letters that the young soldiers wrote home from the battlefield. The uniquely Jewish viewpoint they express and the strong traditional elements in their religion bring the conflict between the inhumane war and religious belief into sharp contrast. The young mens’ attempts to adhere to their faith and rituals during the violent horror of trench warfare are touching and often tinged with self-deprecating humour. The immense pain the keenly-felt loss of comrades and a yearning for home and loved ones shine through the soldiers’ words. One great leitmotiv runs through the letters: the hope for equality. It radiates from the words as strongly as the desire for peace and an absolute belief in a German victory. The letters also highlight the firm conviction amongst the Jewish men that a new world was being forged by the war and that Jews would be treated as equals within a new society. In future no one will be able to say that we Jews went into this difficult battle as cowards. Yesterday a major told me that the first Iron Cross in the battalion went to a young rabbi from Strasbourg who had been unanimously recommended by his company.
The film is about the difficult situation in which the Pakistanis in particular and the Muslims in general are caught up since 9/11. There is a war going on between the Fundamentalists and the Liberal Muslims. This situation is creating a drift not only between the Western world and the Muslims, but also within the Muslims.Khuda Kay Liye isn't merely a powerful story; it's a film that boasts of fine performances, a great music score and sophisticated production values. Naturally, the scene-stealer is Naseeruddin Shah who enters only in the penultimate moments of the film, but adds enough punch to leave a lasting impression. He is ably matched by his rival, the fundoo mullah Tahiri, with actor Rasheed Naaz spewing fire and brimstone within the precincts of the mosque through sermons that are a deadly mix of religion and politics. Now here's meaningful cinema that doesn't compromise on commercial values. Go for it and get thinking.

Kim Longinotto directs this documentary focusing on Italian photographer Letizia Battaglia. Battaglia narrates her life from her working-class upbringing in Palermo, Sicily, marrying young, and beginning her photography career in her forties, when she became the first female photographer to be employed by an Italian paper. Despite setting out to document women, children and daily life on Sicilian streets, Battaglia instead found herself capturing acclaimed images of the ever-present violence around her during the 1970s and '80s.
Rubika Shah's energising film charts a vital national protest movement. Rock Against Racism (RAR) was formed in 1976, prompted by music's biggest colonialist' Eric Clapton and his support of racist MP Enoch Powell. White Riot blends fresh interviews with queasy archive footage to recreate a hostile environment of anti-immigrant hysteria and National Front marches. As neo-Nazis recruited the nation's youth, RAR's multicultural punk and reggae gigs provided rallying points for resistance. As founder Red Saunders explains: We peeled away the Union Jack to reveal the swastika'. The campaign grew from Hoxton fanzine roots to 1978's huge antifascist carnival in Victoria Park, featuring X-Ray Spex, Steel Pulse and of course The Clash, whose rock star charisma and gale-force conviction took RAR's message to the masses.
