    Extraordinary Documentary

    I came across this documentary 10 years after it came out. It is absolutely incredible, heartbreaking and its theme is so very much current, yet very unique.

    It is beautifully put together and it would win several deserved awards if it was now.

    I was very touched by some of the Italians human response but completely shocked by the government crude actions.

    The producer and director did an amazing job to produce such an amazing little masterpiece and it makes you wonder how all this incredible video information came together.

    The documentary should resurface and be shown again to the world and we should all learn from it how to be human again.

    One of the best documentary I have ever watched.
