[SBS/8:30pm] Jihad. Screening in the Cutting Edge timeslot on SBS Television, Tuesday, 5 June at 8.30pm, is Jihad, with part 2 following at 10pm. Jihad provides an in-depth look at modern, radical Islamic groups. The film explores the ideas and beliefs that inspire these groups, along with the challenges they pose for governments in the Middle East and the Western World. With previously unseen footage and first-hand testimony from those who fought, planned, argued, met or lived with them, this is the inside story of Al Qaeda's three leaders: Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and the recently killed leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musab Al Zarqawi. This documentary examines how the blood-soaked careers of these three men were driven by an evolving ideology of violence and hatred towards the West. From the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1940s, to Islamic organisations today, the film offers insightful perspectives of Islam from Western and Middle Eastern journalists, U.S. intelligence experts on the frontlines of the fight against Al Qaeda, and friends and contemporaries of Osama bin Laden and his lieutenant Ayman al-Zawahiri. It is also the story of how the peaceful and noble religion of Islam has been distorted by Islamist terrorists in the name of jihad. Two years in the making, Jihad was filmed on location in the Middle East, Sudan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, America, and Britain. Based on extensive original research, the film presents the story of the birth and evolution of Al Qaeda, not through the second-hand reporting of Western journalists, but through powerful testimony from first-hand witnesses.
[SBS/11:00pm] Damages. Damages is screening in the Hot Docs timeslot on SBS Television, Tuesday, June 5 at 11.00pm. This documentary follows the firm of Koskoff, Koskoff and Bieder, who are highly successful when it comes to achieving considerable sums for their clients. They advise less experienced clients about their conduct in court, what to wear, etc. to influence the jury’s judgment. The documentary shows the practice of adjusters working out insurance claims. There are a number of different cases and each time, the damages to a life, the value of a life lost, etc. are worked out in monetary terms. The death of an 18-year-old is discussed, and it is assumed he had leadership qualities due to good high school grades. So the claims for damages go up accordingly. Bobby Tabshey has lost his wife after surgery and is filmed by the adjusters who will then present the video to the jury determining the damages. Bobby claims his life would “have been perfect”, had his wife survived. The program has some excerpts from actual American news reels, discussing the case of a lesbian couple claiming loss of sex, love and companionship after unsuccessful cancer surgery. Damages ends with the case of a psychiatrist who failed to alert authorities to a client’s intention of murder.

I guess I can give Mick Molloy 5 out of 10 for effort. I think I was expecting a lot worse of The Nation.
