*Extremely Graphic* Fisk on his "From Beirut to Bosnia" documentary: "Back in 1993, I made a 3 part documentary film for the Discovery Channel in the United States, and also for Channel 4 in Britain. It was called Beirut to Bosnia and it attempted to find out why an increasing number of Muslims had come to hate the West. Indeed, the title was "Why Muslims Have Come to Hate the West." We filmed in Beirut, Southern Lebanon, Israel, the occupied West Bank and Gaza, Egypt, Bosnia and Croatia."

From the archives of Alternative Views "TV/film producer-director Chris Thomas brings with him an insightful documentary which he made showing the nature and extent of racism on English television, using clips from documentaries, panel discussions, interviews and entertainment programs. The program, which was shown on the BBC's public access hour, created a furor, resulting in threats of lawsuits, an unusual disclaimer by the BBC and attempts by the BBC to prevent further public showings of the program."
