Description
From Beirut to Bosnia is a three part documentary by Robert Fisk shown
on the Discovery Channel focusing on Lebanon, Palestine, Egypt and
Bosnia. It spans different nations and different peoples, but the
problems and tragedies, the false hopes and betrayals, these are always
the same. Muslims all over the world bear the brunt of Western foreign
policy and local dictatorial rule. They pay the price of these policies
and adventures with their land, freedom, property and lives. This
mixture, of oppression, poverty and abuse has alienated millions of
Muslims from their own governments as well as from some in the West.
Today we witness a region on fire, plagued with instability. Robert Fisk
analyses some of the root causes of the conflicts and tragedies we hear
about daily.
Another in the compelling series Beirut to Bosnia from Films for the
Humanities, To the Ends of the Earth compares the plight of Muslims in
Egypt and Bosnia. Though separated by geography and the distinct
cultures in which they live their lives, this video reveals the feeling
of betrayal by the West experienced by these two Muslim communities.
Interviews with Islamic freedom fighters and war casualties shed light
on the dynamics of the ongoing struggle for the survival of these
communities.
