Anyone else seen this? What do they think? I think its amazing, especially with some of the stuff some of the activists say/rant etc. Such powerful passion.
I would have said more about the film, but a part of the reason I enjoyed it so much is because i knew nothing about it. If you read the wikipedia article (or simply watch it), maybe you'll figure out what "tricked me", as it were.
Anyone know much about the director Peter Watkins?
