Submission is a 2004 English short film directed by Theo van Gogh and written by Ayaan Hirsi Ali (a former member of the Dutch House of Representatives for the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy); it was shown on the Dutch public broadcasting network (VPRO) on August 29, 2004. The film's title is one of the possible translations of the Arabic word "Islam" (see also the etymology and meaning of the word).

Synopsis

Submission décrit quatre femmes incarnées par la même actrice voilée, vêtue d'un tchador transparent, son corps nu tatoué de versets du Coran. Ces personnages sont des musulmanes qui ont été maltraitées de différentes façons. Le film fait entendre les monologues de ces femmes, en soulignant trois versets du Coran appelant à de bons comportements au sein du couple, le rôle de l'homme et de la femme dans une relation pieuse, ainsi que des règles régissant le divorce et la réconciliation ; puis citant une certaine supériorité de l'homme par rapport à la femme, d'une façon très complexe, livrée à plusieurs interprétations, en les montrant inscrits sur le corps des femmes.

"La famille de Nicky" est l'histoire extraordinaire de Nicholas Winton, surnommé le Schnindler britannique, qui avant le début de la seconde guerre mondiale, entre mars et août 1939, a sauvé 669 enfants tchèques et slovaques, pour la plupart juifs, du génocide nazi. Le film mêle fiction, documents d'archives inédits, et témoignages émouvants des protagonistes de cette histoire, parmi lesquels Nicholas Winton en personne et Joe Schlesinger, journaliste à la CBC et narrateur du film. La "famille" de Nicholas Winton compte aujourd'hui plus de 5 000 personnes dans le monde entier, qui lui doivent la vie.

There are five cameras — each with its own story. When his fourth son, Gibreel, is born in 2005, self-taught cameraman Emad Burnat, a Palestinian villager, gets his first camera. At the same time in his village of Bil’in, the Israelis begin bulldozing village olive groves to build a barrier to separate Bil'in from the Jewish Settlement Modi'in Illit. The barrier's route cuts off 60% of Bil'in farmland and the villagers resist this seizure of more of their land by the settlers.
