WATCH DOCS FILM FESTIVAL

OF FATHERS AND SONS


Watchable. A glimpse inside an al-Nusra Front training camp and jihadists' minds: a 2-year-old without a hijab deserves to be killed, wives should be many to breed new militants, animals are good only for beheading and eating. No background info on the protagonist, his family and locals. You learn that al-Nusra Front militants are trained from childhood and that they're planning a 3rd world war. It's strange to feel relief when you hear at the end that one of the child protagonists was killed. 


In the meeting the director explainted why he included the jihadi children reading stories about aliens in the film - tales of aliens are against Islam.


A MOTHER BRINGS HER SON TO BE SHOT VOD


Watchable. Just for the informative value since I honestly thought the Troubles in Northern Ireland were well over. From the documentary I learnt of the specific system of (in)justice originating from the distrust of the Irish towards the British law enforcement. The system is both honest in the sense it meets people's requirement of justice effected against e.g. drug dealers but corrupt at the same time as it's the IRA mafia executing people and peddling drugs themselves. Still, the film focuses on one family too much and they are working class people so not so interesting.
