Israel - the Enemy Within
The assassination last month of Prime
Minister Yitzhak Rabin by a fellow Jew rocked the state of Israel. The country has beenfurther shocked by reports that the killer was linked to an extremist group funded by the Israeli secret service. Opponents of Rabin's policies insist he was betraying Israeli interests by striking deals with the Palestinians that promoted damaging internal conflicts. Julian O'Halloran uncovers the forces that spawned the assassination, shows that they were well known beforehand and asks if they can now be contained.
Producer Thea Guest ; Editor Keith Bowers
This documentary - mixing dramatic reconstruction, archive footage and first-hand testimony - analyses racism in the colonial and post-colonial worlds through the life of Frantz Fanon, one of the century's major black intellectuals.
Fanon was a French citizen who enlisted in the fight against the Nazis. But his roots - the Caribbean island of Martinique - meant he was a figure feared and suspected in post-war France. His worked as a psychiatrist in Algeria, but resigned in 1956 after becoming an outspoken critic of French policy there. He was expelled and died before Algeria secured independence, but his legacy lives on in the books Black Skin, White Masks and The Wretched of the Earth.
Colin Salmon plays Fanon in flashback while Fanon's son, Oliver, is among the interviewees casting light upon a man Jean-Paul Sartre regarded as a spokesman for the developing world.
