Judgement Day: Images of Heaven & Hell is a three part series made by Brighton-based company Seventh Art Productions. In these films Tim Marlow leading art historian and writer explores the relationship between art and the afterlife from the Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead to Stanley Spencer's vision of heaven as a small English town. In this new series Tim will explore how ideas of afterlife have been depicted in art throughout the world. The first episode JUDGEMENT focuses on the moment of judgement after death tracing its origins in ancient Egypt and going on to explore Buddhist art as well as works by Michelangelo and the contemporary British artist Mark Wallinger. In the second programme HEAVEN Tim reveals that the idea of a blissful realm beyond death appears in many religions around the world and has been a subject for artists since the time of the Egyptians right up to the work of Tracey Emin. In the final programme HELL Tim explores depictions of hell ranging from an Islamic version from 15th century Afghanistan to a monumental work by the British artists Jake and Dinos Chapman destroyed in warehouse fire in the spring of 2004. The promise of heaven and the threat of hell have for some societies been a carrot-and -stick device to aid the maintenance of the status quo. Throughout the series Tim asks whether artistic depictions of the afterlife are the expression of a deep spirituality or the product of society's need to police individual behaviour. Above all the series provides a new fresh look at some of art's greatest works.

Chomsky is back, contesting official versions of history and today's news in two powerful lectures and a 45-minute interview. While each piece stands alone, they also complement one another to provide both a far-ranging view of world politics and a glimpse into Chomsky's personal political beliefs that is both entertaining and informative.In Imperial Grand Strategy, a lecture given at the University of Manchester, Chomsky takes on the war in Iraq. He cuts through the ideological fog that surrounds the invasion and occupation, laying waste to the U.S. government's justifications for them. In the process, he uncovers the real motivations behind U.S. military aggression: a global imperial plan put in place long before Iraq - and that will extend far into the future, unless we do something about it.The Assault on Freedom and Democracy, delivered at Merrimack College, moves from broad, geo-political concerns to the sort of authoritarian societies needed on the ground for such imperial strategies to work. Discussing the Patriot Acts (1 & 2) at home and a long and disgraceful U.S. history of democracy-building abroad, Chomsky highlights the vast difference between noble rhetoric and our consistent military and economic support for dictators and thugs.The DVD ends with Questions About Anarchism, an interview with Barry Pateman of the Emma Goldman Archives. In a more relaxed and personal exchange, Chomsky discusses the anarchist principles that have guided him since he was a teenager and that lie behind the social and political analysis he's been producing for the last four decades.Noam Chomsky is one of the worlds leading intellectuals, the father of modern linguistics, an outspoken media and foreign policy critic, and tireless activist. He lives in Lexington, Massachusetts.
