Designed To Provoke An Emotional Response

This video (via BoingBoing - WARNING NSFW) is utterly provocative and in your face (I suggest you watch the entire clip before casting judgement). Flesh is a 10 minute short that reinterprets 9/11 in a visually stimulating and hopefully thought-provoking way. Created by Edouard Salier (MySpace Page) (effects by Strikeback pictures) it looks like it was released on the festival circuit two years ago and won a few awards. Fascinating. I suspect this will definitely piss off a lot of people.

Phenomenal PBS Show - America At A Crossroads

Impressive examination of the war in Iraq (Warriors), but most importantly most of the show consists of the voices of the soldiers themselves (Operation Homecoming) in a documentary created by a project initiated by The National Endowment For The Arts. It consists of narration, poetry, and interviews created, voiced, and produced by the soldiers who served in Iraq. Very powerful.
