Le dernier jour de Pompéi (titre original : Pompeii : The Last Day) est un téléfilm britannique réalisé par Peter Nicholson en 2003. Ce docufiction relate la destruction de Pompéi lors de l'éruption du Vésuve en 79.

Synopsis

Le documentaire relate la vie à Pompéi et Herculanum dans les vingt-quatre heures qui précèdent leur destruction, imaginant la vie de plusieurs de leurs habitants. À l'exception de Pline l'Ancien et son neveu Pline le Jeune, les personnages mis en scènes sont fictifs, mais correspondent aux restes et traces découverts sur les sites archéologiques. Le film montre en particulier la nature et l'impact des phases successives de l'éruption du Vésuve, reconstituée en images de synthèse, en conformité avec les connaissances volcanologiques d'aujourd'hui, qui confirment la fiabilité du témoignage antique de Pline le Jeune.

Turkish Passport tells the story of diplomats posted to Turkish embassies and consulates in several European countries, who saved numerous Jews during the Second World War. Whether they pulled them out of Nazi concentration camps or took them off the trains that were taking them to the camps, the diplomats, in the end, ensured that the Jews who were Turkish citizens could return to Turkey and thus be saved. Based on the testimonies of witnesses who traveled to Istanbul to find safety, Turkish Passport also uses written historical documents and archive footage to tell this story of rescue and bring to light the events of the time. The diplomats saved not only the lives of Turkish Jews, but also rescued foreign Jews condemned to a certain death by giving them Turkish passports. In this dark period of history, their actions lit the candle of hope and allowed these people to travel to Turkey, where they found light. Through interviews conducted with surviving Jews who had boarded the trains traveling from France to Turkey, and talks with the diplomats and their families who saved their lives, the film demonstrates that "as long as good people are ready to act, evil cannot overcome".

Why We Fight describes the rise and maintenance of the United States military–industrial complex and its 50-year involvement with the wars led by the United States to date, especially its 2003 Invasion of Iraq. The documentary asserts that in every decade since World War II, the American public was misled so that the government (incumbent Administration) could take them to war and fuel the military-industrial economy maintaining American political dominance in the world. Interviewed about this matter are politician John McCain, political scientist and former CIA analyst Chalmers Johnson, politician Richard Perle, neoconservative commentator William Kristol, writer Gore Vidal, and public policy expert Joseph Cirincione.
