4 Generations - Water Buffalo Movie

Every man who went to China are all for sex. Donation is good for poor people especially in China. However, what is greater than donation is getting rid of the Communist party.

Is there anywhere else on the web that I can view this video past 2 minutes 40 seconds? I have used it to teach in my classroom in the past, and I am severely bummed that I cannot find it...

i was in the phillipines with my family and my cusins need 1 too

Actually, in this case I am going to somewhat agree with you...AND beg to differ. While I see your point, the fact remains that when one is creating sympathy for a cause, sometimes it is necessary to use your fame and celebrity to bring others to the charity table. Just sayin'...

aww bring the video back! :(

I think I'll the same thing in the Philippines. Thanks for the insperation.

This video isn't trying to say that gifting a water buffalo is the greatest thing anyone could ever do for the peasants. It's just a video that is trying to document something that really happened. Yes, there are large-scale economic problems that make life difficult for millions of Chinese farmers, but regardless, Philip and Robert have done a good thing. Robert's tone is not condescending and I don't get the sense that he simply "pities" the poor - he just wants to help. And he succeeds.

( this vid makes me so sad. some1 msg me!! xD P

I also received that "catalog" that was talked about at the beginning of the clip and wondered about its sincerity. You definitely did the right thing. The most important thing is to get off our butts and Do Something instead of hide behind our wealth in fear. We also like to hide behind politics and cultural differences. I have a goal of helping the poor but my time is not yet here. I'm not any better than the rest until I've done it.

And these decisions aren't even being extra generous. Simply treating them fairly and saying that their work is the same value as ours is enough. Don't profit off of almost slave labour!
In the end, I just hope that when people see this type of video in the future, they don't just feel sorry for the poor people, and happy about the gifts. Instead, we should all take a look at Western economies that first take advantage of these people and then allow Western citizens to give something back.
