This excellent documentary follows Billy Bragg as he embarks on a mission to put music to a selection of lyrics penned by folk legend, Woody Guthrie. Billy's love of the People's Troubadour is evident as he visits his home town, tracing Woody's life and influences with the help of his daughter, Nora Guthrie. The music (compiled on two albums, 'Mermaid Avenue' Vol.'s 1 and 2) is excellent and is lifted with the collaboration of Wilco. Jeff Tweedy, lead singer with Wilco, seems particularly inspir find out more...
BURMA VJ (2008)

'Burma VJ' is an amazing collection of footage shot by Democratic Action for Burma activists as the 2007 popular attempted up-rising against the evil military junta took place and is both about the demonstrations and, more succinctly, about the brave Burman reporters who filmed them and transmitted the footage to the outside world. The resultant edit by Danish film-maker Anders Ostergaard has won more awards than you've had hot pies. Must watch stuff. find out more...

An investigative documentary by Shane O'Sullivan that examines the events of that fateful night in 1968 and presents compelling theories that suggest the killer, Sirhan Sirhan, was not working alone. The problem with O'Sullivan's case is that though the motives to kill Robert Kennedy were strong amongst the right-wing Cuban (anti-Castro) clique who'd infiltrated the CIA, and the gringo militaristic clique who ran them, the evidence presented is, though not unconvincing, circumstantial and would find out more...

In March 2003, as Bush's stormtroopers were set fare to invade Iraq, Dixie Chicks lead singer, Natalie Maines, while playing the Shepherds Bush Empire, casually quipped 'we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas'. Once picked up by the media this played rather badly in their Country and Western homeland, resulting in mass burnings of their CDs and their blacklisting from many radio stations. "Shut Up And Sing" follows the events, the band's private lives and their evolv find out more...
