A former South African army captain who moved to Rhodesia in 1974 and is now one of Zimbabwe’s last white farmers, Michael Campbell is not the obvious choice as the sympathetic subject of a documentary.

Balibo
Is it ok to make a feature film about a true story? This often-replayed controversy is reopened by Balibo, a dramatic telling of the murder of six Australian journalists by Indonesian forces when they invaded East Timor in 1975.

When campaigners despair of success they need only recall the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa to renew their belief and optimism. But as the Behind the Rainbow declares at the end of the documentary, “South Africa is no longer the world’s greatest fairytale.”

Yoav Shamir
Yoav Shamir was called an anti-Semite for one his films, which, as a Jew and an Israeli, he found odd.

For many Western campaigners, the collapse of apartheid was a highlight – perhaps the highlight - of their political lives. “Separate development” was so disgusting and the enemy so obdurate that success was particularly sweet.

Sergio Vieira de Mello
A documentary about “the only top official in the UN known by his first name” sounds dull. But don’t be put off - Sergio is engrossing.

The Black Album
Profane, rude, blasphemous, direct, mischievous - Kureishi's back: “There are times when we can be too respectful to one another and that can be dangerous.”

England People Very Nice
England People Very Nice is designedly not very nice. Funny, sharp, chaotic, focused; but not very nice.

Chevolution
It's said to be the most reproduced image in the history of photography, and it makes an excellent documentary, says Daniel Nelson.

Michael Fassbender as Bobby Sands
I sat slumped in my seat as the credits rolled for Hunger, feeling as though I had been repeatedly punched in the head by Mohammed Ali. It is a powerful, unrelenting film.

Skin
Sandra Laing was black, born to white parents in apartheid South Africa. She is raised as white but while at school she was reclassified as "Coloured" and expelled. Her shocked father fights through the courts to have the classification reversed. He wins and Sandra is reclassified white. That’s a good start to a story. But there’s more to come in Skin.

Kwame Kwei-Armah
Kwame Kwei-Armah’s four-part series retracing Queen Elizabeth’s 1954 royal trip, On Tour With The Queen, is odd but quietly engaging.

Il Divo
Il Divo is a brilliant film – but I am unsure how widely I can recommend it, says Daniel Nelson.

Joe Berlinger describes making Crude as “heartbreaking and inspiring”. That will surely also be the verdict of most viewers.

Kwame Kwei-Armah
It’s certainly a good idea: 56 years after the newly-crowned Queen Elizabeth’s six-month, 45,000 mile royal tour – still the most ambitious ever undertaken – Kwame Kwei-Armah retraces her journey to see what it meant, then and now. The question is: does On Tour With The Queen make good TV?

Taking Liberties
Taking Liberties chronicles New Labour'’s destruction of civil liberties. Yes, it’s a polemic, and No, there’s little that’s revelatory. There are one or two Michael Moore moments, but although it’s fast-moving and entertaining, for the most part it uses actual footage and talking heads to make its case.
