Le Dernier Gaulois est un docu-fiction franco-belge réalisé par Samuel Tilman et diffusé pour la première fois en Belgique sur la Trois le 21 décembre 2015. Alternant l'animation en images de synthèse et les prises de vue réelles, le film relate la vie en Gaule avant et pendant la Guerre des Gaules et le siège d'Alésia, à travers l'itinéraire d'un personnage principal fictif, un aristocrate éduen nommé Apator.

Synopsis

Dans l'attente de la dernière sortie des Gaulois assiégés à Alésia par les Romains, Apator, riche aristocrate éduen, qui touche à la fin de sa vie, se remémore comment il en est arrivé là. Quelques années plus tôt, il menait un commerce de vin prospère auprès des Romains qui venaient s'approvisionner en Gaule. Cette partie est l'occasion pour le documentaire d'exposer la vie quotidienne des Gaulois dans les dernières années avant la guerre des Gaules. Peu à peu, cet équilibre est remis en cause par Jules César dont l'ambition politique à Rome implique un triomphe militaire et des conquêtes en Gaule. Apator comprend peu à peu que César mine le pouvoir des assemblées gauloises et utilise leurs rivalités pour accroître sa propre influence. Les chefs hostiles à César, dont fait partie Acco, un ami d'Apator, sont minoritaires. Acco est pris et César convoque les chefs gaulois alliés à Rome à Durocortorum pour leur faire approuver sa condamnation à mort, alors que ce sont normalement les druides qui rendent ce type de jugement. Acco est condamné et exécuté, mais Apator se rend compte que César va trop loin. Il entre alors en pourparlers avec un jeune chef ambitieux hostile à César, Vercingétorix. Mais l'unité contre César est loin d'être faite, car Vercingétorix est un Arverne. Or les Arverners et leurs alliés, peuplant grosso modo le centre de la Gaule, s'opposent par une hostilité de longue date aux Éduens et à leurs alliés, situés davantage dans l'est, et sur lesquels Rome s'appuie. Le fils d'Apator, qui compte reprendre son commerce après lui, peine à comprendre le danger que représente César. Apator s'appuie sur sa belle-fille pour financer Vercingétorix et pour tenter de persuader son fils.

The Invisible War features interviews with veterans from multiple branches of the United States Armed Forces who recount the events surrounding their assaults. Their stories show many common themes, such as the lack of recourse to an impartial justice system, reprisals against survivors instead of against perpetrators, the absence of adequate emotional and physical care for survivors, the unhindered advancement of perpetrators' careers, and the forced expulsion of survivors from service.

First-time filmmaker and former Wall Street Journal reporter Neil Barsky’s 2012 documentary film Koch explores the origins, career, and legacy of Edward Irving “Ed” Koch, who served as Mayor of New York City for three consecutive terms from 1978 to 1989. With candid interviews and rare archival footage, the film offers a close look at a man known for being intensely private in spite of his dynamic public persona, and chronicles the tumultuous events which marked his time in office – a fiercely competitive 1977 election, the 1980 transit strike, the burgeoning AIDS epidemic, landmark housing renewal initiatives, and an irreparable municipal corruption scandal. Poignant and often humorous, Koch is a portrait not only of one of New York’s most iconic political figures, but of New York City itself at a time of radical upheaval and transformation.
