Thanks Colin. To be quite honest, this film is one of the most powerful
media coverage I 've ever watched before. The reveling side of this world
system is unveiled in a very sincere and very mesurable manner in spite of
the cruelty it uncovers. I cannot find words to explain the sense of
frustation. I really hope that if there is some justice, divine and human,
the horrendous money-driven control system we live in could be humanised.
Lets join our efforts, big or small, to reclaim our planet back before it is
too late!
Andy
