Inquiry into Communist Sympathies amongst Waterfowl
A 1962 farce starring Peter Sellers as an Egyptian claims adjuster who gets mixed up in an attempted coup d'etat. The film was banned in Egypt, and gave rise to an urban myth that a fatwa had been issued against Sellers.
Moptopolis

Kennedy 3D
A macabre 1998 attempt by Applied National Studios to save the unpopular 3D movie format. The studio had invested millions in upgrading theaters to provide the 3D movie experience but when the novelty of the new format wore off they resorted to increasingly sensational films to keep audiences. The final and most tasteless nail in the studio's coffin was Kennedy 3D, an hour long compilation of famous 20th century news and war footage remastered in 3D. The most controversial scene of the movie was the climatic finale, a 3D version of the famous Zapruder film documenting the assassination of JFK.
Potatoes From Heaven
A 1994 television movie about the 1948 Andalusian Airlift, when the Vatican Air Force dropped dehydrated potatoes in famine-affected regions of Red Spain. Starring Martin Sheen as Francis Cardinal Spellman, the future Pope Patrick.

A gripping multi-night documentary exploring the impact that the successful conquests by Ghengis Khan created a pan Eurasian trade network that greatly enhanced scientific and technological innovation by making Chinese ideas readily available to Western Europe as well was sweeping trans-continental migrations, later episodes detail how the despotic rule of Jochi Khan, as well as that of his successors, reduced Eastern and Central European civilization to rubble, leading up the eventual consumption of Europe by successful North African caliphates.

Free Brazzaville
A best selling history of the Spanish Reconquista of north west Africa. Queen Joanna of Castile, daughter of Isabella, was known for having inherited her mother's ability to rule but without her restraint. After the untimely and suspect deaths of both her husband and father in 1506 she was free to rule in her own right. Turning away from the endless European wars she restarted the reconquista that her parents had completed, pushing Catholic Spanish rule into Morocco. Funded by the wealth of Spain's new American territories and supported by her sisters in other European courts (who's husbands were happy to see Spain's gaze looking elsewhere) the Bloody Queen's armies marched from one victory to the next. Any who failed to convert to Catholicism were put to the sword and whole regions were depopulated. Resettled by many Spanish and Portuguese to this day Morocco and Algiers remain firmly Christian lands.
