I'm not interested in calls of propaganda. If you have any of you have any counter claims to make about the documentary then make them specifically. Otherwise you're pretty heartless if you're dismissing it straight off the bat.

There are some pretty heart wrenching stories and individual accounts in there.
What do you want me to dismiss exactly? I gurantee you that most of those people probably never stepped foot in Tibet before. It's a bunch of Free Tibet supporters. I can show you hundreds of "documentaries" just like that one from almost every nation in the world concerning as many issues as there are colours.

I'm not the type of person to get teary because of heart wrenching stories. I already know the world is screwed. If I took all the individual stories to heart, I'd get too depressed in life. And to be honest with you, there are more pressing matters in the world. Tibet can wait another century for all I care. Back in my country, I have family members that are dying because they don't have clean running water, that don't have a home to live in because it broke down in an earthquake 5 years ago and the government aint doing shit about it. Or maybe go down south a bit where millions of people have aids and are dying every second.

Psssh, heartwrenching stories. Heck, holywood has a bunch of those as well It's pretty silly to even think someone can be heartless because he aint too fussed about a silly 10 min documentary!
