Afghan Massacre: Convoy of Death (2002)

Interviewees presented as eyewitnesses state that several thousand Taliban prisoners of war were transported to Sheberghan prison in sealed containers and that hundreds or thousands of prisoners died. Afghans interviewed in the film claim that U.S. personnel were present and involved in mass killings.

A short preliminary version of the documentary was shown to the European Parliament and the German Parliament in June 2002, under the title Massacre at Mazar, prompting calls for investigations from human rights bodies. The Pentagon denied allegations of U.S. involvement and released a statement, saying "U.S. Central Command looked into it a few months ago, when allegations first surfaced when there were graves discovered in the area of Sherberghan prison. They looked into it and did not substantiate any knowledge, presence or participation of US service members." An August 2002 report in Newsweek, based on a UN memo, described a mass grave site in the Dasht-i-Leili desert, but said there was no evidence that U.S. personnel had been involved.

The story resurfaced in July 2009, when U.S. President Barack Obama asked his national security team to look into allegations that the Bush administration had resisted calls to have the matter investigated.

The Need for Speed (2003)

Follows the investigation of two U.S. pilots in relation to a friendly-fire incident in the war in Afghanistan in which four Canadian soldiers died. The pilots' defence stated that they were flying under the influence of amphetamines given to them by the U.S. Air Force. Interviewees include former Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force, General Merrill McPeak. The pilots' amphetamine usage was also covered by the BBC and the New York Times.

Guinea Pig Kids (2004)

Shown on BBC2, this programme alleged that anti-HIV drugs were tested on "vulnerable and poor children at a New York care home ... who had no choice in whether or not to take part in trials and no proper advocates to speak on their behalf". Describing HIV medicines given to the children as "futile" and "dangerous", the programme also alleged that children had been taken from their families to enable the "experimental" drug treatment to continue. Critics' charges that the programme was "lurid, untrue" and contained "dangerous lies" led to "serious concerns" at the BBC over fears that the programme "deceived viewers by 'playing fast and loose with the facts'." A BBC investigation did not uphold all the complaints made against the programme, but concluded that the documentary did breach editorial guidelines on accuracy and impartiality in a number of ways, acknowledging that it made false claims and was biased towards the views of AIDS denialists. The film triggered a public inquiry in New York, which established that there had been some breaches of regulations and policies in the conduct of the trials, but found no evidence that children had been taken from their families, had died as a result of treatment, or had been preferentially selected for the trials because of their race, or their status as children in foster care. The HIV Treatment Bulletin called the incident "inappropriate and inflammatory".S. Collins, "Report refutes HIV denialist claims on children's HIV trials" HIV Treat Bull - 2009 Jan-Feb;10(1/2): 34"... probably one of the most inappropriate and inflammatory HIV-related stories to (be) picked up by mainstream media who themselves failed to appropriately research the real issues: that children are generally denied access to potentially life-saving pipeline compounds until after they have been approved for adult care."

Afghanistan: Behind Enemy Lines (2010)

The Dancing Boys of Afghanistan (2010)

This highly controversial and widely acclaimed

film shows how former [[Northern Alliance]] [[warlords]] and powerful businessmen are preying on impoverished young boys in Afghanistan. The ancient tradition of [[Bacchá|Bachi Bazi]] (translation: ''boy-play'') was banned under the Taliban, but has resurfaced since they were routed by [[International Security Assistance Force|ISAF]] in late 2001; boys as young as 11 are bought and sold like slaves, dressed up like women and made to dance before audiences of men. ''The Dancing Boys of Afghanistan'' exposes how these boys are systematically sexually abused, and frequently murdered by jealous rival owners. Despite these practices being illegal under Afghan law, the film shows that the men committing the abuse do so with impunity. This film premiered at the [[Royal Society of Arts]] on 29th March 2010 . It was aired on [[PBS Frontline]] in the United States, and [[True Stories]] in the UK on 20th April 2010.
