Available Soon in Dispatches Vol.4 'Beyond the Walls' is a collection of 3 half-hour films from the other side of the blast shields in Iraq's walled cities. Big Noise Films, shooting for Al Jazeera English, cover a very different side of the war than is ever seen on American television. They report unembedded from war-torn Falluja, from the giant US prison at Umm Qasr, from the Mehdi Army stronghold inside Sadr City, from the places where mainstream corporate channels can not or will not go.

Order - Watch Video Clip Available in Dispatches Vol. 3 Katrina was called the worst natural disaster in America in 100 years. . . but the hundreds who died here were not killed by the storm - they were left for days to drown as flood waters rose around them.
And today, the storm isn't what's keeping most of the city's former residents from returning home.
A richer, whiter New Orleans is being built in which the city's poor and black majority have no place.
While the city moves ahead with its plans to destroy public housing, scattered former residents fight a desperate battle for their right to return home.
The outcome will have far reaching consequences. New Orleans is the front line of a national struggle to save public housing and to end the privatization of government services. New Orleans is the model that, if successful, will be reproduced across the country. Originally aired on PRESS TV . |

Order - Watch Video Clip Available in Dispatches Vol. 2 The elections dominate the headlines of American media. But elsewhere in the US, far from the glare of the media, another group are fighting daily for their lives - America's 3.5 million homeless people. Despite all the candidates' talk on the economy, helping working-class families, and pledges to fight poverty, the issue of the homeless has been largely removed from the campaign trails. While the majority of homeless people are men, 41 per cent are families, and more than 500,000 are children. But things could change, with a political movement led by a determined single mother, Cheri Honkala. |

Get the Whole Story
Watch Video Clip Part 1 - Part 2 Basra is Iraq's economy – its Rumeila oil fields tap one of the largest pools of petroleum in the world, and without its revenues the central government in Baghdad would collapse. This wealth makes Basra the site of a battle for political control between the three largest Shiite parties in Iraq – al-Hakim’s SIIC, Moqtada al-Sadr’s ‘Sadrist Current’, and the Islamic Virtue Party, which controls the Basra governorate and is linked to the Oil Workers' Union. The Battle For Basra explores the power struggle underway in Basra, and what it reveals about the larger battle for control in the new, Shiite-dominated Iraq. An investigation by Rick Rowley, Hiba Dawood and David Enders with the support of the Pulitzer Center on Crisis reporting. Aired on Al Jazeera English. |
