harmonies of the Balkans. The film focuses on the band Mostar Sevda Reunion, as they
tour and talk about living through the horrors of the war. Their music is driving,

Documentary/Instructional

Updated: 5/4/2007

The film tells the remarkable story of Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars, a group of
musicians who form a band while living in a West African refugee camp. They were
forced from their homes by a brutal civil war that took the lives of many of their loved
ones and left them with physical and emotional scars that may never heal. But it could
never take away their music. Through music they find a place of refuge, a sense of
purpose and a source of power. This film follows the band over the course of three years
as they make the difficult decision to return to their war-torn country and realize their
dream of recording an album of their original music. The story of Sierra Leone's Refugee
All Stars celebrates the best of the human spirit - the incredible ability of individuals to
sustain hope and find forgiveness even in a climate of rage and loss.

Black Gold, 2007
Multinational coffee companies now rule our shopping malls and supermarkets and
dominate the industry worth over $80 billion, making coffee the most valuable trading
commodity in the world after oil. But while we continue to pay for our lattes and
cappuccinos, the price paid to coffee farmers remains so low that many have been forced
to abandon their coffee fields. Nowhere is this paradox more evident than in Ethiopia, the

struggling coffee farmers from bankruptcy. As his farmers strive to harvest some of the
highest quality coffee beans on the international market, Tadesse travels the world in an
attempt to find buyers willing to pay a fair price. Against the backdrop of Tadesse's
journey to London and Seattle, the enormous power of the multinational players that

solution for his farmers.

by the EEOC on the merits of the case.

television series reveals Africa as seen by Africans. Each program explores conflicts
across the continent, and how they are being resolved. With its uniquely African identity,
flavour, and feel, viewers go behind the headlines.

century. Throughout the world the UN was called upon to help maintain peace and
encourage development. The Organization found a new role at a critical stage of the

ongoing Middle East conflict, and continued its stewardship of troubled territories like
Kosovo and East Timor. Human Rights abuses were vigilantly monitored, and armed
conflicts -- especially in Africa -- promted an increased commitment from the world
community. The UN peacekeeping forces Sierra Leone were substantially bolstered; also
a whole new mission was established on the disputed Ethiopia-Eritrea border. YEAR IN
REVIEW captures these and other highlights of world-wide work of the United Nations
in the year 2000, included increased efforts to halt the spread of AIDS, and the
harnessing of computer technology to assist global development.
A Place to Stand, 1996, 14 min
As citizens of United Nations Member States, our voices do count as we see to reaffirm
our common humanity at the dawn of a new millennium. The six segments of this 14minute 52-second video examine the UN's history and achievements in the areas of
peacekeeping and global security, human rights, assistance to refugees and displaced
persons, sustainable development and environmental protection. The ideals and aims
enshrined in the Charter of this 50-year old international organization serve to strengthen
our belief that the United Nations gives us a place to stand, a place to act.
No Place to Hide, 1995, 50 min
Praised as the best idea of the century. Considered as an extravagant muddle. United
Nations Peacekeeping is in the news as never before. How did the blue helmets came into
being? What is their future? These questions are addressed by British-born writer and
diplomat, Sir Brian Urquhart, one of the architects of peacekeeping and head of UN
peacekeeping in the 1970s and 80s. This programme not only features rare archival
footage but also examines current operations and crises through the voices of
peacekeepers, diplomats and journalists involved in them. It presents the history of the
UN peacekeeping and analyzes recent operations which have stumbled into the quagmire
of civil and ethnic conflicts like those found in Bosnia and Somalia. Urquhart puts
forward a provocative idea for improving peacekeeping: the creation of a permanent
international rapid reaction volunteer force.
Soldiers for Peace, 1998, 27 min
Since their inception in 1956, the United Nations peacekeeping forces have been on duty
continuously in some of the world's most sensitive trouble spots. During 1988, two new
peacekeeping forces were created: one to monitor the Afghanistan accords, and the other,
the Iran-Iraq cease-fire. In awarding the 1988 Nobel Peace Prize to these heroic forces,
the Nobel Committee paid tribute to "their demanding and hazardous service in the cause
of peace". This video shows today's peacekeepers in action and the excitement and
logistical challenges in setting up a new force. Shot on location in Fiji, Lebanon, Syria,
Iran and Iraq, it follows soldiers from their homes in Fiji to their peacekeeping
assignments in southern Lebanon.

has not yet been able to fulfil entirely the mandate entrusted to it by the Security Council.
However, by its presence, it maintains a semblance of peace and restricts armed conflict
that might otherwise envelop the entire Middle East. The film tells the story of the effects
of war on a land and its people.
A Day in June: Disengagement in the Gohan, 1975, 27 min.
In June 1974, a United Nations peacekeeping force took up positions in the war-torn
Golan Heights. Its mandate was to observe that the cease-fire agreements signed in
Geneva were adhered to by Israel and Syria. Twelve hundred men made up the United
Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF). The terrain of the Golan differs
sharply from the sands of Sinai and, because of this, there was another consideration - the
return of a civilian population to no man's land.
Soldiers in Sinai: A Peacekeeping Story, 1975, 27 min
From the creation of the United Nations Emergency Force, the film tells the story of how
men were flown to the Sinai desert on short notice to take up positions between two
opposing sides, a peacekeeping operation that followed in the wake of the 1973 war in
the Middle East. Their mission was to stop the fighting, separate the opponents and
provide the pause necessary for diplomacy to make peace. The film shows how troops
from many nations, speaking many languages, using different equipment and accustomed
to different foods, learn to work together as a unique international peace force.
