Documentary on the Caricature Controversy

To get more information on the inflammatory reactions to the Mohammed caricatures, the trials, the murders, the arsons, the cowardice, the bravery, it's a good idea to watch this new film.
It is being shown on the German/French cultural channel ARTE on Tuesday, Oktober 16, at 8:40 pm. The French title is Sacrées caricatures, and under the title link on the ARTE site you can view the entire documentary in French. The German title is Teuflische Karikaturen, and under that title link at ARTE you can view the German trailer with Caroline Fourest's introduction to the film.
In English, it is being shown on BBC World on 20-10-2007 at 12:10, 19:10, and 07:10 (GMT); on 21-10-2007 at 17:10, 04:10, and 09:10 (GMT); and on 22-10-2007 at 01:10 (GMT) under the title Bloody Cartoons. Under this link is info about the film and the English language trailer for it.
And finally, a link to the Danish caricatures themselves that served to remind us of who is for and who is against freedom of speech and thinking as opposed to canting and believing.
Thinking is not easy, but it IS liberating, it IS what being human is all about...
