The God Delusion/The Root of All Evil? (2006)
This 2 hour documentary highlighting the dangers of religion and it's influence in the 21st century was first named 'The Root of All Evil?' against Mr. Dawkins' wishes. According to Dawkins, it would be ridiculous to suggest that any one thing could be the root of all evil, causing it to be renamed 'The God Delusion'. He did however, point out that religion was a major factor for the world's problems.
Here, Dawkins examines how religious faith is gaining ground in the face of rational, scientific truth. He meets with religious leaders, followers, scientists and skeptics around the world. The interviews include the former Pastor Ted Haggard, the novelist Ian McEwan who was the former Bishop of Oxford. The excerpt on the left is a sample of the interview he has with Yousef Al-Khattab (formerly Joseph Cohen).

The Genius of Charles Darwin (2008)
Ever since Charles Darwin published the 'Origin of Species' in 1859, it has been the subject of debate. His theories of evolution are frequently misunderstood and/or misinterpreted to justify racialist attitudes.
In this documentary, Dawkins explains Darwin's theory of evolution in detail and considers the moral questions raised by it. He argues that selfless behavior altruism are essential for human survival and evolution itself. He shows how there is far too much evidence for religion to be true.
