Soccer Mums In Landmine Shocker
A new United Nations campaign designed to raise awareness about landmines is apparently too explosive for American television, as it depicts children being blown apart on a soccer field. According to the U.N. website promoting the ad, the idea for the campaign is that "landmines may not be in your backyard, but they're in the backyards of people all over the world."

All US media outlets are refusing to broadcast this public service announcement… so we thought we would.

FALL AND FALL OUT - REPORT FROM FALLUJAH
Two months after the US launched its biggest ever assault on Fallujah, soldiers are still dying there. In this exclusive report, Guardian Films uncover what really happened.

It was billed as a resounding military success. Over 1,200 insurgents were meant to have been killed and another 2,000 trapped inside Fallujah. But now this version of events is being challenged. Far from being crushed, rebels claim they left the city in an organised withdrawal. “It was a tactical move,” explains insurgent leader Alazaim Abuthe. “The fighters decided to redeploy to Amiriya.” Before they left, fighters booby-trapped many bodies.

People are too scared to move them so the corpses lie rotting all over the city. Rabid dogs feed off them and then attack returning residents. Far from stabilising Iraq in preparation for this month’s election, the assault on Falluja has fanned the flames of civil war. Today Fallujans are too busy trying to stay alive in freezing refugee camps to worry about ballot papers that haven’t arrived for an election they have no intention of voting in. As one resident comments, “We’re not interested in this sort of democracy.” Guardian Films

Little Terrors
As millions watch England lose at the footy Iraq is handed back to Iraqis (sorry mate, it's a bit rough round the edges and the infrastructure is shot to buggery, but hey, you can live like us now!) Why make a film like this? Yes, we agree it's not very nice. But, if you do happen to meet someone who seems to be able to cleverly justify the Iraq war. Show them this. It might just shut them up.

Wud'Ja Fallujah It!
Straight after the SchNEWS gig in Oxford during the tour in April 2004 we went back to the recently opened OCSET squat (TESCO spelled backwards) They had obtained Jo Wilding's harrowing eye witness account of her experiences in Fullujah, Irac. Accounts such as hers were being totally ignored by the corporate media. OCSET had a meeting that night and put their plans into action the next morning....This is direct-action at it's simplest and best. (5mins) (27MB - mpeg)
