In 1982 Isreal tired of the tit for tat PLO attacks on civilian targets in northern Israel and invaded their stronghold in Lebanon. The major combat phase is chronicled in detail as Israli forces drove PLO guerrillas north and then engaged Syrian forces decimating their air force and SAM defenses and causing major losses in tanks and infantry. Ariel Sharon drew criticism internally and internationally by exceeding his stated goal of driving the PLO 40 miles north of the Israel Lebanon border and went on to surround Beirut. PLO and Syrian forces drew heavy international criticism for the pervasive use of civilians as human shields as suggested by their soviet allies.

Baletnyy sindrom

Documentary drama about the backstage of Russian ballet. It is no secret for the creative community that ballet dancers more often than others face harassment and blackmail from teachers and theater managers. Despite this, all active dancers claim that theaters and ballet schools are "monasteries with their own charter," which the artist is obliged to accept, and for years they have tolerated the clause about sexual obedience to masters and mentors included in this charter. For what reason are ballet dancers silent about the dark side of the profession and what is their silence really hiding?
