      For us non-Americans 9/11 is mostly of interest only due to the big political changes it brought to the western world. There is pre and post 9/11 because of it. I of course understand it is a terrible moment in history for people in North America, but it's not emotional and "hard to watch" for the rest of the world. Not harder than any other documentary of a single terror attack. For Scandinavians stories of mass murderer/terrorist Anders Behring Breivik who killed 77 people (mostly teens and young adults) and hurt 315 others, in 2011 due to his political views is a bit more triggering. It hits close to home.

    I forget the name of the documentary but there was one I saw when I was in college where they talked about the us legal system and people with disabilities, especially mental disabilities. They showed how many people with mental disabilities are lied to and coerced into admitting to crimes they had nothing to do with. There was one where the cops told a guy during interrogation if he signed a paper saying he committed a murder he would get to go home. He signed it and they arrested him. In many areas in the past they did this when they were under pressure to close a case. They would just find someone with mental impairments (especially if it was known that the people in the neighborhood were intolerant toward them), pull the old “you fit the description” line, and deceive them into signing a false confession. That way the case was closed, the pressure was off them, the public was satisfied because a perpetrator was in jail, and the cop may even get a commendation. They didn’t care they put a severely impaired person in prison wrongfully. It’s not like the person could be a “valuable member of society”.

      I do not believe it is "ritual sacrifice of babies." They believe some children will curse the village so they murder them. Obviously this is still horrific, but there is a difference.

    I’ve seen probably 6 or 7 in this list and the ones that stand out are Waltz with Bashir, The Bridge and Dear Zachary.
    Dear Zachary was an absolute punch to the throat after a punch to the gut. By the end I was angry, tearful, almost speechless.
    I cannot bring myself to watch Blackfish or Earthlings.

    “Last Man in Aleppo”, about a group of “White Helmets” working in Syria during the civil war (still going). There were no more rescue teams and disaster relief workers helping people in areas that were being consistently shelled- foreign aid agencies were being kept away and existing civil organizations had ceased to exist. But there are still people going out and trying to help people, aiding evacuations and other emergency movements, rescue work when necessary, and they tend to wear white helmets when they have them. Taking on that role in many areas is an assured death sentence, but they do know that when they die they will have helped others to survive. Fragments of families living in rubble- it’s unreal. The military (I don’t remember which one, but it didn’t matter anymore) was directly targeting civilians; a few hospitals were taken out. There is one man who is sort of set up as the protagonist, but only so far that the documentary makers have someone to follow. He doesn’t make it to the end of the film, of course, but he was “the last man in Aleppo”- as are all the people who stay in these places for the sake of civilians who can’t leave for whatever reason. I’ve managed it twice, bawled my eyes out both times.

    Damien Echols was sentenced to death not life like Jason & Jesse. They were released due to an Alford Plea as the Arkansas State Supreme Court had declared they had the right to a new trial. The state to keep from having to pay for a new trial & knowing the WM3 would be found innocent & then be allowed to sue the state for unlawful imprisonment which would be millions of dollars each, instead offered them the plea to save face & allow the men to walk free right then. Jason did NOT want to except but knew it was the only way he could help get Damian off death row.

    I think what made Jonestown so horrible was the fact these absolutely evil “parents” were so genuinely brain dead, they murdered their innocent children and made them die painfully, all bc they were gullible and naive enough to think they were going to some heaven. If it was just the people who drank it themselves it would be sad but self inflicted, the fact the people who didn’t wanna do it got shot, and the countless children who had no wish to be there, is unforgivable. I have to imagine all of them knew in their last moments this wasn’t a path to paradise. Watching their children, their friends and loved ones violently choke and die, while anyone who refuses to drink gets shot down. It’s hard to think they’d be able to think “oh this is what we’ve been waiting for, we’re going to a more beautiful existence” then their last moments were spent in fear, pain and agony. I think it makes me so angry because it isn’t some thing of the past, my cousin was in a cult for about 20 years. Now he’s been out of it for probably just as long, he has two daughters that must be in high school now, and a wife and happy life and successful job. It can happen to almost anyone it seems

    Kartik was still missing Priya so much. Priya was his girlfriend who died in a car accident before 4 years. But kartik was also suffering from some job frustations. So he was thinking that if Priya was there. Then she could be able to support kartik. One day kartik was on his bike trip. Suddenly he saw a very shining and lightning thing at some distance. He went there. He saw that it is actually a stone. May be of some gold or any other precious metal. Kartik brought it to home and slept. In next morning in light when stone stopped shining too much. Then kartik saw that something is written on that stone. On stone it was written that ask any wish from that stone. It was a magical stone. But it can be used only once. Kartik asked a wish for his girlfriend comeback. And after it text written on the stone disappeared. Kartik went market to sell this stone. But when he came back to home. He shocked. He saw Priya was there. So stone was really magical. He was so happy after it. He spent a so long time with Priya then. Next day a letter came to kartik home from an unknown address. In letter it was written. What you have done. You will have to pay for it. Because you broke the laws of nature. So it will bring dangerous consequences with it. Kartik felt like it is a case of some divine supernatural powers. He said loudly what I did and who you are. Are you God. If yes. Then plz tell me what is going to happen next. Priya made kartik calmed. She said kartik for not much worrying about it. She said let see what will happen. When kartik was sleeping. Then he heard a knock on door. He saw a man who was wearing black clothes like eskimos and in darkness kartik was not able to see the face of that man. It was looking like that man has no face at all or his face was hidden under the fully covered cap of his Eskimo kind of black jacket. Kartik asked that man who you are and what do you want. The man said you got the letter. Kartik said you sent that. Are you any kind of divine supernatural being. The man said i am from a illuminati. I am from a another realm. A realm from where illuminati keep eyes on humans. Sometimes we send such kinds of stones to test humans. Sometimes it bring good results. When humans ask for wealth and health or things like that. But for what you asked for. It was not good. It broke the laws of nature. Now you have to pay for it. Kartik asked what do I have to pay. Illuminati man pressed the mid point between the eyebrows of kartik and kartik saw a horrible future. He saw Priya was going to soon completely handicapped physically and mentally by an another accident. Kartik shouted loudly no it can not happen. Illuminati man said it will happen. And will happen because of you. Soon kartik opened his eyes. And found that all was dream. He talked about it to Priya. He said to Priya that we will go to temple for praying it. In temple they both went and cried a lot. In tonight dream kartik meet again with this illuminati member. Illuminati member said to kartik that one thing can be done. Kartik asked what. Illuminati member said to kartik that after completing wish if someone the stone soul goes to an another realm. If you can bring that soul to us. Then I will give you an another chance. Let see if you can do this job or not. Kartik said ok send me into this realm. I will try to find soul of stone which fulfilled my wish. Illuminati member sent kartik to this soul realm by a portal. A guard there said to kartik here are so many souls of so many stones. How will you find your one. Kartik said i will try. Guard opened the gate of stone soul world. Kartik saw all souls were looking same. He thought that now he has to surrender. But suddenly an idea came to his mind. He thought that how illuminati bring souls in new stones. May be most of the time they bring older souls to new stones. He said loudly that i am new secret member of illuminati. The stone fulfilled my wish. Plz that's soul came to me. Otherwise illuminati senior members will come and they will trap you and lock you into a useless stone for long years. Kartik thought may be fear will work. After sometimes a soul came to him and said welcome to membership of illuminati. I am ready to go with you. Plz never lock me sir. Kartik was happy that he found that soul. Kartik went again to member of illuminati through portal. Kartik told all story to illuminati member. Illuminati member said to kartik that he is so good. Illuminati member said i am sending you to that time again where you found that stone. You will find that stone again and now you can again ask for a wish. But it should not be about Priya. Kartik said ok. Kartik went to that place by an another portal. He went towards the stone and asked a strange wish. He asked that the thing which makes him feel so much happy,rich and alive. That thing should be always with him in very good way. And after it kartik opened his eyes in morning. Actually this wish was about Priya. Because the thing which makes kartik alive, rich in mind and so much happy. It was all Priya. So kartik played a clever game. So kartik was happy with priya. But in noon he got an another letter. In letter it was written nice game you played kartik. You can think you chased us. Because you saved yourself from breaking the laws of nature by your clever act. But still you have to face consequences. Something strange will come to you soon. Kartik was tense all the day about what will happen next. In next day morning when his doorbell rang. Then he shocked. Because on door it was kartik mother. Who actually died in kartik childhood. Kartik shocked and then smiled. Because he understood the message of illuminati. because he asked the wish for the thing which gave him most happy and rich feeling. It was also about his mother too with his girlfriend. So his mother also came back to life. And that all was positive consequence. So kartik was so glad that he brought two persons back in his life by his clever mind.

    The Act of Killing was based upon families of victims of the PKI purges.
    The PKI purges happened after the September 30 Movement coup, which killed several senior Indonesian Army officers by the G30S pr the September 30 Movement, a Leftist military group, which PKI explicitly supported.
    After the incident, Suharto took over Sukarno's weak leadership, and blamed the PKI on the coup. The mass killings were sad and horrible.
    Some tried to fight back, forming armed rebel groups. But most accepted the fate, dying at the hands of their captors. Almost all Indonesian Commies abroad don't return home.
    The most affected PKI membership were from the mainline PKI, Gerwani aka the PKI women's league (which was according to stories, tortured the surviving of the 7 officers, castrating and slowly killing them while doing radical feminism), Chinese Indonesians, ethnic people suspected of supporting PKI and most of all, Atheists.
    Some were lucky not to be killed, but cursed in all of their lives that they were the curse of Indonesia.
