>* EYEWITNESS SUDAN: The War of the Future. A powerful expose of the August
>1998 U.S. bombing of the El Shifa pharmaceutical plant, the small factory
>that provided more than half the medicine for Sudan. The smoking ruins and
>dashed hopes of Sudanese doctors are skillfully juxtaposed to footage of

>cruise missiles sent against an impoverished African country.  28 minutes
>
>* CRISIS AND KOSOVO, an analysis of the deepening economic world crisis
>juxtaposed with United States military posturing around the world. 29

>
>"Let Iraq Live" exposes the human toll of US/UN sanctions on Iraqi
>society. More than 1.5 million civilians, mostly children, have
>died from disease and malnutrition in the last eight years, according to
>UNICEF. The searing images of human suffering captured in
>this dramatic video will likely turn even the casual viewer into a
>political activist.
