CNN's show Insight will deal with a documentary on
“Truth Tigers” on Saturday at 5 pm.
The short documentary follows the journey of camera crews
recording the exploits of the Tamil Tigers (LTTE) of Sri
Lanka. Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Mark Corcoran
meets the cameramen and women who routinely put their lives
on the line, recording the pitch battles between the Tigers
and the government troops. Although these journalists call
themselves Truth Tigers their stock in trade is propaganda
- to raise funds from Tamils living abroad for the 19-year
guerilla war independent homeland, says CNN.
Over the past decade the 120 member Truth Tiger unit has
lost 51 camera operators and more than 100 seriously wounded.
The documentary shows their exploits in the field and takes
you to their sophisticated video facility where their work
is edited and distributed throughout the world.
Insight is hosted by Jonathan Mann delves behind
the headlines with incisive, investigative reports focusing
on a single issue international news story, often followed
by detailed discussion or interviews with experts and analysts
to shed further light on the topics.
CNN has also lined up a treat for fans of one of the remaining
Beatles, Sir Paul McCartney. The Music Room will
feature the singer songwriter. The show airs tonight at
7 pm with repeats tomorrow at 11 am and Sunday at 7 pm.
This edition of The Music Room delves into McCartney's
musical efforts after the Beatles break-up, with the group
Wings. McCartney himself reflects on his most recent tour,
which sold out venues all over North America. His latest
album is called Driving Rain.
The programme also shows how British punk icons The Sex
Pistols are making serious movement on the charts through
a re-issue of their once-banned album "God Save the Queen."
