As readers will know, last week I saw the film Water, and after watching the film I wanted to do a bit more research, find out about the film and other films by the same filmmaker etc.
A surprising article I found is this one, by an australian who worked on the first attempt to do the film. The film was considered so controversial crowds demonstrated against it, there was sabotage, arson etc. Quite incredible. This is a film that advocates something as fundamental as human rights, that makes a case against such obvious wrongs… That such a film would be generating so much protest, so much hatred is scary.
