      The rules of the game in the global village

      The principle is very simple, just three:
      1. Everything the United States says is the truth;
      2. Everything the United States does is justice;
      3. If you have doubts, please refer to the two above.

      If an Islamic person kills an American, it is called international terrorism.
      If an American kills an Islamic man, that is the necessary price to pay for democracy and freedom, you have to be grateful.

      Human rights and freedoms are inferior to totalitarianism - the road to Guantanamo

      I wanted to see this movie years ago. It's a good documentary about war and prisoner abuse. A few years ago, when I was still interested in the Middle East world, the international humanitarian organization in Hong Kong released this film. At that time, I didn't go, because I was afraid to go alone. Later, there was an event, which was a lecture given by Nahoko Takato, a Japanese kidnapped in Iraq, but at that time a piece of film to be broadcast could only be watched by the 18-year-old. As a...

      In the days of being a prisoner of war

      Another fake documentary focusing on the war in Afghanistan. The difference is that the war is only presented as a background in this film. Three British-Pakistani descendants recalled in front of the camera that they were accidentally bombed in Afghanistan, became prisoners of war, were abused by American soldiers, and suffered inhumane encounters in Guantanamo Prison.

      In the dark journey of Afghan refugees smuggling to the UK in "in this world", Michael Winterbottom left a deep...

      A man who loses his freedom is like a dog

      "Guantanamo Road", a film made by British TV 4, focuses on the detention and abuse of three British Muslims who came to Afghanistan to provide humanitarian aid during the US military's invasion of Afghanistan, and put them in Guantanamo Prison two years in captivity. The film is edited from three parts: interviews with the parties, news reports clips, and reproduction of the original scene.
        Three British-born Muslim youths are being held at Guantanamo prison by the United States as...

      A necessary attribute of human beings?

      An imitation documentary film, made by the famous British director Winterbottom. The U.S. military's war in Afghanistan brought three innocent British Muslim youths to "the highest level" of prisoner-of-war treatment, and we finally know how contemporary Americans view their enemies. Before watching this film this afternoon, I was also reading the book "The Voice of Power: American Media and War" by Mr. Zhang Juyan. The two echoed each other. As a result, I felt that the United States was...

      It reminded me over and over how I cooked a spare rib or a piece of beef, and realized the so-called "man is a knife and I am a fish". Documentary style, the combination of live interviews and performances, how to...

      I went to the No. 3 clubhouse to watch~ it happened to be the 100th documentary they showed~ Actually, it is not a pure documentary, there should be supplementary filming later... and it is relatively mild. The director has his own choice in the plot. I am more impressed that "No talking, no praying" VS "I haven't changed, I'm just more religious about my beliefs" This thing about the country makes me feel terrible,...
