Propaganda I Love:
After dinner with the former Iraqi minister, she gave me a wonderful video on Kurdistan entitled "The Other Iraq, Share the Dream." I haven't watched it yet but i say it's wonderful because the cover has a little girl in the middle of a mountain valley holding some sort of luminous orb. Here's the corresponding website:
The Other Iraq
Another propaganda site that I'm really digging these days is the response to Hubert Sauper's horrific (but also wonderful) documentary Darwin's Nightmare:
darwinsnightmare.net
It's a thinly veiled creation of the Tanzanian tourism ministry (or whatever) and aside from the hilarious attack on Sauper which completely misses the point it's a well designed site with links to fishing industry sites. The best part is the attempt at user generated content where you can post photos, ideally of Tanzania's natural wonders but also anything that might slander Sauper. Some savvy researcher has managed to find photo evidence of Sauper's links to both Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.
Here's the real site:
darwinsnightmare.com
ps HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELISA!
