Walled In (2009)

AKA:
Duvarlar Arasında >> Turkish

Synopsis:
A young woman who recently graduated from engineering school travels to a remote location to supervise the demolition of a mysterious building. She soon discovers the horrifying secrets of the building and its past inhabitants, many of whom were victims of a vicious murderer who entombed his prey alive within its walls. Now she must turn the tables on the killer before she becomes his latest victim.

The Wall A World Divided (2010)

Synopsis:
The most memorable symbol of the revolution that swept across Europe two decades ago is the November 1989 opening of the Berlin Wall after 28 years. The Wall — A World Divided tells those dramatic events from the perspective of ordinary East Germans whose lives were caught up in the wheels of Cold War politics. And it presents the lesser-known story of how the autumn of 1989 set the stage for three world leaders — George Bush, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Helmut Kohl — to come together and guide the completely unanticipated spiraling series of events that ended the Cold War.

Hurt (2009)

Synopsis:

Reisen durch die Zeit - Die Geschichte der Erde ()

Synopsis:
Für uns Menschen scheint die Welt ein beständiger Ort zu sein. Doch das täuscht! Tag für Tag verändert sich das Gesicht unseres Planeten ein klein wenig.

Komprimiert man Jahrtausende zu Sekunden, erscheint die Welt in einem völlig neuen Licht. Der erste Teil der BBC-Dokumentation zeigt in atemberaubenden Bildern, dass die Welt alles andere als ein ruhiger Ort ist.

Marine Fossilien auf der Spitze des Mount Everest erzählen die Geschichte der Entstehung des höchsten Gebirges der Welt. Ein Flugzeugabsturz zeigt die ungeheure Dynamik eines scheinbar reglos daliegenden Gletschers, ein kleiner Riss in einer afrikanischen Straße ist ein untrügliches Zeichen, dass der Kontinent allmählich auseinander bricht.

Aufwändige Animationen zeigen, wie verborgene Naturgewalten Gebirge auftürmen oder die Welt in Stücke reißen, wie ein einzelner Regentropfen im Strom der Zeit nichts bedeutet, viele Tropfen über Jahrmillionen der Landschaft aber ein völlig neues Gesicht verleihen. Unvorstellbare Zeiträume sind nötig, um etwas so Gewaltiges wie den Grand Canyon oder den Himalaja entstehen zu lassen.

Fabric of the Cosmos: Universe or Multiverse? ()

Synopsis:
Program Description

Hard as it is to swallow, cutting-edge theories are suggesting that our universe may not be the only universe. Instead, it may be just one of an infinite number of universes that make up the "multiverse." In this show, Brian Greene takes us on a tour of this brave new theory at the frontier of physics, showing what some of these alternate realities might be like. Some universes may be almost indistinguishable from our own; others may contain variations of all of us, where we exist but with different families, careers, and life stories. In still others, reality may be so radically different from ours as to be unrecognizable. Brian Greene reveals why this radical new picture of the cosmos is getting serious attention from scientists. It won't be easy to prove, but if it's right, our understanding of space, time, and our place in the universe will never be the same.

Ape to Man ()

Synopsis:
Ape to Man - Macaco em Homem - History Channel

It has long been considered the most compelling question in our history: Where do human beings come from? Although life has existed for millions of years, only in the past century-and-a-half have we begun to use science to explore the ancestral roots of our own species. The search for the ultimate answer has taken a number of twists and turns, with careers made and broken along the way. APE TO MAN is the story of the quest to find the origins of the human race - a quest that spanned more than 150 years of obsessive searching The search for the origins of humanity is a story of bones and the tales they tell. It was in 1856 that the first bones of an extinct human ancestor were encountered, unearthed by a crew of unskilled laborers digging for limestone in Western Europe. The find, which would be known as Neanderthal Man, was seeing the light of day for the first time in more than 40,000 years. At the time, the concept of a previous human species was virtually unthinkable. Yet just a few years later, Charles Darwin's work The Origin of Species first broached the subject of evolution, and by the end of the nineteenth century, it had become the hottest topic of the age. Adventurers had embarked on the search for the Missing Link, the single creature that represented the evolutionary leap from apes to humans. APE TO MAN examines the major discoveries that have led us to the understanding we have today, including theories that never gained full acceptance in their time, an elaborate hoax that confused the scientific community for years, and the ultimate understanding of the key elements that separate man from apes.

Natural World: Himalayas ()

Synopsis:
Documentary looking at the wildlife of the most stunning mountain range in the world, home to snow leopards, Himalayan wolves and Tibetan bears.

Snow leopards stalk their prey among the highest peaks. Concealed by snowfall, the chase is watched by golden eagles circling above. On the harsh plains of the Tibetan plateau live extraordinary bears and square-faced foxes hunting small rodents to survive. In the alpine forests, dancing pheasants have even influenced rival border guards in their ritualistic displays. Valleys carved by glacial waters lead to hillsides covered by paddy fields containing the lifeline to the East, rice. In this world of extremes, the Himalayas reveal not only snow-capped mountains and fascinating animals but also a vital lifeline for humanity.

History Channel through computer graphics, highly stylized recreations, and underwater cameras, we will dramatically visualize the accidents as well as investigate the possible causes and explanations. On-camera interviews with both skeptics and believers will help lay out the facts and opinions of the cases.

The Link - Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestor ()

Synopsis:
The Link - Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestor - BBC

Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestor: The Link, tells the story of an important scientific development that could tell us more about where we come from.

The fossil, known as Ida, could be an indication of one of the roots of anthropoid evolution -- the point at which our primate ancestors began first developing the features that would evolve into our own.

Is David Attenborough set to reveal the Missing Link in human evolution?

The BBC has made an extraordinary new documentary, presented by Sir David Attenborough, which will reveal the discovery of a fossilised skeleton that may be a vital 'missing link' in human evolution.

The centrepiece of the programme is the unveiling of the first-ever complete skeleton of an extinct animal called an adapid.

The fossilised bones, which are thought to be between 37 and 47million years old, were found in Germany's Messel Shale Pit, a disused quarry near Frankfurt famous for its fossils.

The team who examined the young female animal say it has some resemblance to a lemur, a mammal with a distinctive tail that is found to this day in the forests of Madagascar.

But Sir David's documentary will explain that the researchers have, controversially, concluded the fossil 'is not simply a lemur' but from a related group of primates which evolved into monkeys, apes and human beings.

The BBC programme is based on a scientific study to be published by the Public Library of Science, a leading academic journal with offices in Cambridge and San Francisco.

Faster Than The Speed Of Light ()

Synopsis:
In September 2011, an international group of scientists has made an astonishing claim -- they have detected particles that seemed to travel faster than the speed of light.

It was a claim that contradicted more than a hundred years of scientific orthodoxy. Suddenly there was talk of all kinds of bizarre concepts, from time travel to parallel universes.

So what is going on? Has Einstein's famous theory of relativity finally met its match? Will we one day be able to travel into the past or even into another universe?

In this film, Professor Marcus du Sautoy explores one of the most dramatic scientific announcements for a generation. In clear, simple language he tells the story of the science we thought we knew, how it is being challenged, and why it matters.

Neanderthal - Planet of the Apemen ()

Synopsis:
Neanderthal - Planet of the Apemen: Battle for Earth - BBC

This episode is set 35,000 years ago and depicts Homo sapiens's encounter with Homo neanderthalensis. As the ice caps retreated, the Neanderthal stronghold in Europe weakened, providing a window of opportunity to which modern humans owe their existence. As almost exclusively carnivorous, both male and female Neanderthals hunted. Evidence of a huge number of injuries, like those seen in today's rodeo riders, suggest that hunting involved dangerously close contact with large prey animals.

Homo Erectus - Planet of the Apemen ()

Synopsis:
Homo Erectus - Planet of the Apemen: Battle for Earth - BBC

This episode is set 75,000 years ago in India, following a catastrophic super-volcanic eruption which forced a showdown between our ancestors and a completely different species of human, Homo erectus, who up until that point had reigned supreme. Homo erectus was a successful, long-lived species that migrated out of Africa. Possibly the first humans to live in hunter-gatherer societies, they also used rafts to travel the oceans.

Homo Sapiens - Die Geburt des neuen Menschen ()

AKA:
Entwicklungsgeschichte of Homo Sapiens - Die Geburt des neuen Menschen
Evolution of Homo Sapiens - Die Geburt des neuen Menschen ()

Synopsis:
Das Verschwinden der Neandertaler gehört zu den größten Rätseln der Menschheitsgeschichte.

Der französische Regisseur Jacques Malaterre geht der Frage nach, warum Homo sapiens Sieger der Evolution wurde und zeigt in bewegenden Bildern, wie der "weise Mensch" den Ackerbau erfindet, den ersten Wolf zähmt und ein Bewusstsein für seine Vergangenheit entwickelt. Die Bilder Malaterres eröffnen uns die Welt unserer frühen Verwandten mit all ihren Sorgen und Nöten.

Hatten die modernen Menschen Krankheitserreger und Parasiten aus Afrika mitgebracht, mit denen das Immunsystem des Neandertalers nicht fertig wurde? Hatte Homo Sapiens den entfernten Vetter in Kämpfe verwickelt und schließlich ausgerottet? Oder konnten sich unsere Ahnen einfach schneller fortpflanzen und sich so den entscheidenden Evolutionsvorteil sichern? Vielleicht war es auch sein Erfindungsreichtum, der Sapiens schließlich zum einzigen Überlebenden des Menschengeschlechts werden ließ.
Sendetermin

Sicher ist nur, dass sich Homo sapiens auf der ganzen Welt ausbreitete und alle anderen Menschentypen verdrängte - und dass, obwohl der Neandertaler über ein größeres Gehirn verfügte und körperlich weit überlegen war. Er starb schließlich vor 25.000 Jahren aus. Die wissenschaftliche Basis für diese deutsch/französisch/kanadische Koproduktion schufen international bekannte Forscher wie Yves Coppens und Fabrice Demeter vom Collège de France in Paris sowie Michael Bisson von der McGill Universität in Montreal.

Kometen - Boten aus dem All ()

About:
Kometen oder Meteoriten - Boten aus dem All mit ca. 100.000 km/h Geschwindigkeit. Ergebnis - Wie Tunguska Katastrophe

Synopsis:

Diese Dokumentation zeigt wie Wissenschaftler einige Mysterien um Kometen gelüftet haben. Die Himmelskörper sind nun eher Anlass zur Bewunderung als zu Furcht. Dennoch hatten Kometen in der Vergangenheit massiven Einfluss auf das Leben auf der Erde - und es bleibt die Gewissheit, dass der nächste Aufprall auf unseren Planeten nur eine Frage der Zeit ist.

Kometen: Silberstreif am Himmel oder Vorboten des Unheils? Unsere Vorfahren fürchteten sich vor mysteriösen, leuchtenden Erscheinungen am Himmel und hielten sie für Zeichen der Götter. Heute erforscht die moderne Wissenschaft die fliegenden Gesteinsbrocken und ihren Ursprung. Dieser Film zeigt, wie die Wissenschaft heute Kometen erforscht -- und warum unsere Urahnen vielleicht gar nicht so falsch lagen, wenn sie diese Boten aus dem All fürchteten...

Jede Kultur der Welt hat sich mit Sternen und Himmelskörpern beschäftigt. Das All war der Ort der Götter, am Himmelszelt konnte man den Lauf der Dinge ablesen. Kometen, die im Gegensatz zu den immergleichen Sternenkonstellationen völlig überraschend auftauchten, verbreiteten Furcht, weil sie als Zeichen für bevorstehendes Unheil, Kriege oder Seuchen galten.

Als die Naturwissenschaften den Aufbau des Universums enträtselten, konnten sie beweisen, dass Kometen lediglich Himmelskörper sind, die in Umlaufbahnen die Sonne umkreisen. Aber erst in den letzten Jahren fand man heraus, woher die Kometen eigentlich kommen: Sie stammen aus dem Kuipergürtel oder der Oortschen Wolke, wo Millionen Gesteinsbrocken darauf warten, ihre Reise ins Innere unseres Sonnensystems anzutreten.

Schon mehrfach haben Kometen das Leben auf unserem Planeten schlagartig verändert. Seitdem herausgefunden wurde, dass Kometen neben Wasser, Stickstoff, Staub- und Mineralienteilchen auch organische Moleküle enthalten, erscheint die Vermutung umso glaubhafter, der Auslöser für die Entwicklung des Lebens auf der Erde könne aus dem All gekommen sein. In den letzten Jahren konnten einige folgenschwere Kometeneinschläge, die sogar bis in unsere Zeit reichen, rekonstruiert werden. Der „Besuch" des nächsten Kometen auf der Erde steht außer Zweifel, die Frage ist nur wann.

Der I. Weltkrieg ()

AKA:
The first World War >> English

Synopsis:
Der Erste Weltkrieg forderte fast zehn Millionen Todesopfer und etwa 20 Millionen Verwundete unter den Soldaten. Die Anzahl der zivilen Opfer wird auf weitere sieben Millionen geschätzt.Im Deutschen Reich leisteten im Kriegsverlauf 13,25 Millionen Mann Militärdienst, davon starben 2,0 Millionen. Das Russische Reich hatte etwa 12 Millionen Männer zum Kriegsdienst herangezogen, von denen 1,85 Millionen ums Leben kamen. Von den knapp 8,1 Millionen eingezogenen Franzosen überlebten 1,3 Millionen den Krieg nicht. Das Britische Weltreich hatte insgesamt etwa 7 Millionen Soldaten eingesetzt, von denen 850.000 nicht aus dem Krieg zurückkehrten. Österreich-Ungarn musste bei 7,8 Millionen Soldaten etwa 1,5 Millionen Todesopfer hinnehmen, auf italienischer Seite waren es bei 5 Millionen Soldaten fast 700.000. Die anteilsmäßig größten Verluste erlitten Rumänien, Montenegro und Serbien: Von 700.000 serbischen Soldaten starben etwa 130.000. Insgesamt verlor Serbien kriegsbedingt rund 540.000 Menschen, etwa 11 % und Montenegro sogar 16 % seiner Bevölkerung.

Unter den Verwundeten befanden sich zahlreiche mitunter bis zur Unkenntlichkeit entstellte Invaliden. Unzählige ehemalige Weltkriegssoldaten starben nach dem Ende der Feindseligkeiten noch an den Folgen von Kriegsverletzungen und mitgebrachten Krankheiten in relativ niedrigem Lebensalter. Zu den Verwundeten müssen auch zahlreiche Kriegsverweigerer hinzugezählt werden, die psychisch unfähig zum Militärdienst waren oder wurden -- und zur „Aufrechterhaltung der Moral der Truppe" entweder zu Gefängnisstrafen verurteilt oder in entsprechenden Anstalten psychiatrisiert wurden. Zu den militärischen kamen die zivilen Opfer: Die Blockade gegen die Mittelmächte führte allein in Deutschland zu mindestens 700.000 Hungertoten.[69] Gegen Kriegsende raffte die Spanische Grippe in Europa Millionen von oft bereits zuvor durch den Krieg geschwächten Zivilisten und Soldaten hinweg. Auf dem Balkan, vor allem in Serbien, erlitt die Bevölkerung schon seit 1914 riesige Verluste durch Krankheiten und Seuchen, wie es auch in vom Krieg verheerten Zonen außerhalb Europas (insbesondere Zentral/Ostafrika) der Fall war.

Vietnam - Blutbad My Lai (2010)

Synopsis:
SpiegelGeschichte -- Film von Barak Goodman (2010) - Am 16. März 1968 kamen die Soldaten der Charlie Company, 11. Brigade der US Army, in das südvietnamesische Dorf My Lai. Es sollte die übliche Strategie angewendet werden -- "search and destroy" (aufspüren und vernichten). Sofort nahm die Army das Dorf und seine Bewohner unter Beschuss, obwohl kein gegnerisches Feuer entgegenkam. Obwohl sich offensichtlich keine Rebellen im Dorf befanden, begannen die Soldaten ein sinnloses Morden: Greise wurden mit dem Bajonett aufgespießt, betende Frauen und Kinder von hinten erschossen, Mädchen vergewaltigt und getötet.

Augenzeugen berichteten, dass der Kommandant Lt. Calley eine Gruppe Dorfbewohner in einen Graben trieb und sie mit Maschinengewehrsalven buchstäblich niedermähte. Nach knapp vier Stunden bewegte sich in My Lai nichts mehr. Als die entsetzlichen Gräueltaten bekannt wurden, erschütterten sie nicht nur die US-Regierung und die militärischen Befehlshaber, sondern auch die bereits tief gespaltene Bevölkerung der Vereinigten Staaten.

Der Krieg der Deutschen - Der Zweite Weltkrieg ()

Synopsis:
Als die Welt in Flammen stand - Die Chronik des Zweiten Weltkriegs

Der Zweite Weltkrieg begann am 1. September 1939 als Kampf zwischen den Großmächten in Mitteleuropa und endete am 8. Mai 1945 als weltumfassende Katastrophe mit über 50 Millionen Toten und völlig verwüsteten Städten und Landschaften. Die Weltherrschaftsträume Hitlers und die Großmachtphantasien des japanischen Kaiserreiches führten zu den blutigen Schlachten von Stalingrad und Iwo Jima, zum Bombenhagel auf deutsche Städte und zum Abwurf von Atombomben auf Hiroshima und Nagasaki.
Michael Kloft zeigt mit seltenen Filmaufnahmen ein Bild der Ereignisse an Front und Heimatfront auch jenseits der Propaganda. Bei der Darstellung vom Verlauf des Krieges, von militärischen Strategien und persönlichen Schicksalen helfen ihm drei ausgewiesene Experten: der britische Historiker Antony Beevor, der mit seinen Büchern über "Stalingrad" und "Berlin 1945" weltweit Maßstäbe gesetzt hat, der Publizist Jörg Friedrich, der mit "DerBrand" hierzulande einen umstrittenen Bestseller veröffentlicht hat, und Rolf-Dieter Müller, Deutschlands führender Militärhistoriker.

Deutsche Legionäre im Indochinakrieg ()

AKA:
German Legionnaire in Indo-China War

Synopsis:
Mit der Absicht, nach 1945 ihre Kolonien in Indochina wieder unter Kontrolle zu bringen, eröffneten die Franzosen einen achtjährigen Kolonialkrieg gegen die vietnamesische Befreiungsbewegung Viet Minh.

Der Film erzählt die Geschichte der deutschen Fremdenlegionäre im Indochina-Krieg. Der Indochina-Krieg wurde auf französischer Seite überwiegend von der Fremdenlegion geführt. Diese bestand bis zu 80 Prozent aus Deutschen und Österreichern. Über 35.000 Abenteurer, Kriminelle, ehemalige Wehrmachtssoldaten, SS-Männer und Kriegswaisen aus dem ehemaligen Deutschen Reich landeten im Verlauf des Krieges in Indochina.

Ein Sammelsurium aus gescheiterten und heimatlosen Existenzen. Angeworben wurden sie in Kriegsgefangenenlagern, Notunterkünften und zahlreichen Büros, die die Fremdenlegion in der französischen Besatzungszone unterhielt. Viele der Deutschen hatten nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg mit dem Eintritt in die Legion des "Erbfeindes" politisch die Seiten gewechselt. Im Dschungelkrieg verwischen sich die ideologischen Gegensätze erneut. Mancher gefangene deutsche Legionär kämpft am Ende als Offizier in Ho Chi Minhs kommunistischen Guerillaverbänden, um schließlich nach seiner Rückkehr in die DDR zur Propagandawaffe des Kalten Krieges zu werden.

Nigerian Girls on the Streets of Athens ()

Synopsis:
Every night besides the town hall of Athens, next to Omonia square, where the narrow streets of the popular entertainment hub district Psirris begin, black girls from Nigeria gather to work.

Dressed provocatively, they approach people who pass by and offer their services. "Come on baby I know you want me", you hear one say playfully with a big smile on her face. Or is it a mask she wears?


The beautiful young Nigerians, between 20 and 25 years old, are victims of trafficking, forced to prostitute themselves for little money.

"Everyone knows that. The young Athenians who gather in Psirris to have fun; the policemen who casually drive through the area to keep an eye on things; the mayor of Athens; most of all the 'customers'," says resident Miltiadis Papathomopoulos, as he stares at the girls, and the people walking by.

Nigerian girls appeared on the steers of Athens during the Olympic Games. They never left. Nobody knew where they came from, and no one particularly wanted to. Until Dina Daskalopoulou, a journalist working on social issues, thought that this could not go on.

"I did it for two reasons," she told IPS, talking of her decision to start investigating the issue. "First, because everybody, citizens and officials, had an attitude that 'these things happen, nobody can stop them'. And then because anyone I talked with insisted that no one can really go out there and tell this story."

Her story, put together after six months work, circulated Mar. 24 in Eleftherotipia, a big national daily. She found that the girls come from Edo region in Nigeria, a place which regularly provides people to global slave labour networks.

The girls are sold for a couple of thousand euros by their families, or they are lured by traffickers with promise of a better life. There are an estimated 50,000 girls from there being sexually exploited around Europe.

Most transit through Italy. They are charged up to 40,000 euros for the trip, and they are then forced into prostitution to pay their debt. Several of the women have said that traffickers, most often Nigerians, use tribal voodoo superstition to persuade the girls that if they escape or speak up, they and their families will suffer.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre II (1986)

AKA:
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
TCM 2

About:
This film is a 1986 American big-budget horror sequel to the 1974 horror film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The film stars Dennis Hopper as "Lefty", Bill Johnson as "Leatherface", and Jim Siedow, who once again picks up the role of "The Cook" (whose real name is revealed to be Drayton Sawyer). It was written by L.M. Kit Carson and directed by Tobe Hooper, who also directed and co-wrote the original.

The film is highly criticized by some for its stylistic departure from the first film, which used minimal gore and a low-budget documentary ambiance to scare its audience by skillfully building up dramatic tension. Unlike its predecessor, TCM2 contains gore and features effects from makeup maestro Tom Savini. The emphasis is on black comedy, which director Tobe Hooper believed was not as obvious in the first film. While successful in its initial 1986 theatrical release, the film failed to make a substantial profit but became quite popular on VHS, leading to a Special Edition DVD release in 2006.

Synopsis:
Young DJ Vantia Block is hosting a music show when two renegade hoodlums phone her and start making trouble. The situation changes rapidly as the kids drive to a passageway and get sawed to pieces by Leatherface while the shocked DJ listens the kids' screams. Local sheriff approaches Block and convinces her to play the recording made from the phone call on radio, hoping that the killers would show up.

The Cove (2009)

Synopsis:
The Cove is a 2009 documentary film of the purported annual killing of about 2,300 dolphins in a National Park at Taiji, Wakayama in Japan. The film highlights that this is about three times the amount of whales killed in the Antarctic, and purports that 23,000 dolphins and porpoises are killed in Japan every year. The migrating dolphins are herded into a hidden cove where they are netted and killed by means of spears and knives over the side of small fishing boats. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan's most recent progress report 1,569 cetaceans in Taiji were killed during the 2007 season, including methods other than drive hunting. A total of 13,080 cetaceans were killed throughout Japan in 2007. Only 1,239 cetaceans were killed by drive hunting.

The film was directed by former National Geographic photographer Louie Psihoyos, and portions were filmed secretly during 2007 using underwater microphones and high-definition cameras disguised as rocks.

The documentary won the U.S. Audience Award at the 25th annual Sundance Film Festival in January 2009. It was selected out of the 879 submissions in the category.

Furthermore, The Cove has been shortlisted for an Oscar nomination at the 2010 82nd Academy Awards. It is up against 14 other films competing for five open slots for Best Documentary Feature.

Paintball (2009)

Synopsis:
A truck rumbles down a potholed track. In the back sit a group of passengers, their eyes blindfolded. They don't know each other, but they have a lot in common: they're young, urban workaholics, with an appetite for extreme experiences. They've signed up for a weekend of adventure. As they head out into the unknown, they hear the others breathing in the darkness, steadying their pulses in silence as the adrenaline begins to flow The blindfolds come off to reveal in a dense forest. Each player is equipped with supplies to last the weekend, a powerful paintball gun, ammunition, maps and instructions. They have to complete an adventure trail that takes in ravines, caves and obstacle-ridden trekking paths. The group is split into two teams. The winners will be the team that wipes out their opponents and completes the circuit. They wanted adventure? They got it. Deep in the woods, one group is ambushed. Invisible snipers pin them down in a hail of paint then one of their number collapses, writhing in agony. Red blood mixes with the paint. Confusion reigns. Who is shooting at them? In the silence, they stare round at each other, and into the forest, looking for a traitor or some kind of explanation. The rules of the game have changed. The only law is the law of the jungle, and nobody trusts anybody else. Hidden among the trees, camouflaged by leaves and branches, there are deadly traps. Hunted down like prey in a lethal game, the teams face a desperate struggle for survival. There's nothing like a brush with death to make you feel alive.

Facts Behind Babri Masjid Demolition: A True Story ()


The Ayodhya debate is a political, historical and socio-religious debate that was most prevalent in the 1990s in India. The main issues revolve around access to the birthplace of the Hindu God Rama, the history and location of the Babri Mosque at the site, and whether a previous Hindu temple was demolished or modified to create the mosque.

When the Muslim emperor Babur came down from Farghana in 1527, he defeated the Hindu King of Chittorgarh, Rana Sangram Singh at Fatehpur Sikri, using cannon and artillery. After this victory, Babur took over the region, leaving his general, Mir Banki, in charge as Viceroy.

Mir Banki enforced Mughal rule over the population and used terror to maintain control over the civilian population. Mir Banki came to Ayodhya in 1528 and built the Mosque destroying the temple.

Ayodhya is revered by devout Hindus as the birthplace of ancient King of India and Hindu God Rama, believed by Hindus to be an avatar of Vishnu. Mir Baqi after building the mosque on the site of the destroyed temple called it Babri Masjid (Mosque), named after his master Babar.

Also, the 1989 Allahabad High Court order opened the locks of the main gate and restored the site for eternity to the Hindus. However, when Hindus wanted modifications of the dilapidated Islamic style structure built by General Mir Banki on orders of Mughal invader Babur from Uzbekistan (Farghana town) and did Shilanyas (inauguration) of a proposed new grand Temple with Government permissions, there were Muslim unrests in many parts of India and Government moved court. Since, then the matter is sub-judice and this political, historical and socio-religious debate over the history and location of the Babri Mosque, is known as the Ayodhya Debate. Recently on court orders Archeological Survey of India dug the spot and found a previous ancient temple that was demolished or modified to create the later Mosque under Babur.

References such as the 1986 edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica reported that "Rama's birthplace is marked by a mosque, erected by the Moghul emperor Babar in 1528 on the site of an earlier temple".[6] According to the Hindu view, the ancient temple could have been destroyed on the orders of Mughal emperor Babur. This view has been supported by findings of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), which carried out an excavation in Ayodhya.

The latest archeological evidence comes from examination of the site after the destruction of the Babri Mosque. The Archaeological Survey of India under Braj Basi Lal, although initially published as finding no significant structures as these reports were based on inconclusive facts and were mere a media leak, subsequently put forward evidence of a pre-existing temple predating the mosque by hundreds of years as its final report.

In 12th century, a temple complex is built in honour of Lord Ram.
In 1528, the Babri Mosque is constructed by Babar's general , Mir Baqi on the orders of the Mughal leader Babur post destruction of existing Ram Mandir.
In 1949, icons of Lord Ram appeared in the Babri Mosque. The semi-governmental Waqf Board, an Indian Muslim trust owned the land on which the mosque stood. Both Hindu and Muslim parties launch civil suits. The Indian government, declaring the site "disputed", locks the gates to the mosque.

In 1984, a movement is started for the creation of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bharatiya Janata Party, under the leadership of L K Advani.

In 1986, a district judge of Uttar Pradesh, orders the opening of the disputed structure to Hindus. This, allegedly, came from the Congress government, headed by Rajiv Gandhi, which tried to balance the favour shown to the Muslims in Shah Bano controversy.

In 1989- 1990, the VHP intensifies its activities by laying foundations of the Ram temple on the adjacent property. Prime Minister Chandra Shekhar proposes negotiations which only intensify the crisis.

In 1992, on 6 December, the Babri Mosque is forcibly demolished by Kar Sevaks. The then Narasimha Rao led Congress government let a makeshift temple appear in its place before moving the courts for status quo.[9] The demolition of the mosque triggered large-scale rioting.

In 2005 Islamist terrorists attacked the structure and were gunned down by security forces (for more information see Ram Mandir Attack).

On 3 April 2009 the Bhartiya Janta Party - BJP released their Manifesto again promising to construct Ram Mandir

In November 2009 details of the Archeological survey are announced, which result in heated exchanges in the Indian parliament.
