- Afghan Massacre - the Convoy of Death (film)
"Afghan Massacre: Convoy of Death" is a 2002 documentary by Irish documentary filmmaker Jamie Doran about alleged war crimes committed on Taliban fighters in November 2001 after they had surrendered to America’s Afghan allies after the siege of Kunduz. People presented as eyewitnesses claim that Taliban fighters were transported in containers for several days, some of them suffocating and others dying when the containers were fired upon "in order to make holes for the air to get in" - this was later alluded to in the Turkish movie "Valley of the Wolves".Fact|date=September 2008 US military and CIA agents were allegedly present. Doran claims that mass graves of thousands of victims were found by the United Nations, but that no official investigation took place.
Doran's objectivity has been criticized [http://www.aidstruth.org/BBC-Apologizes-for-HIV-Denialist-Bias.php] in the context of another documentary film, "Guinea Pig Kids". After airing the film, the BBC admitted that "Guinea Pig Kids" breached editorial guidelines on accuracy and impartiality. [http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2007/oct/23/2]
