HISTORY OF A REVOLUTION

Well worth watching on Stratos TV (Sky 89) is the six part documentary series PLO: History of a Revolution

Filmmaker Omar al-Issawi spent six years making his documentary on the history of the Palestine Liberation Organisation.

In that time, he conducted 150 hours of interviews on four continents - including the last 'historical' interview with Yasser Arafat, the PLO leader, and the first interviews with key operatives from the Black September Organisation.

Al Jazeera broadcast the original Arabic version, all 13 one-hour parts of it, last year.

But the English-language version has been trimmeed back to six half hour programmes, without detracting from the content.

The first episode screens on Stratos TV tonight at 5.30pm.
