 Omar Mukhtar, Libya's greatest modern hero by video capture |
Clay Claiborne, blogger for the Daily Kos, highly recommends this short documentary just recently released by Iranian state PRESS TV, entitled Benghazi: The Uprising. Clay is no stranger to documentaries, having produced, written and directed Vietnam: American Holocaust. *** Clay: This is one of the best films on the Libyan Revolution I have seen anywhere. It starts with the great legacy of Omar Mukhtar. It goes through the 1969 Qaddafi coup, has a good segment on the 1996 prison massacre and shows how that led to the uprising in February. It also shows how the peaceful protesters in Benghazi were attacked by Qaddafi's mercenaries and shows graphically why they were forced to go over to armed struggle and ends with the story of Mehui Ziu, who gave his life to blast a hole in the Qaddafi fort that enabled the people of Benghazi to storm it. |
