"In 1994 the Hutus massacred millions of Tutsis in Rwanda."

Er... a mistake there Mr.Curtis. It's actually hundred sof thousand sno millions.

Still a good mini-doc, though it may apply more to the Uk than to the US, where the media still peddles a "black&white" view of the world.

The way conflicts are presented only leaves you with those two options. That's the point. The struggle to make sense out of conflicts and possibly support a peace-sustaining power is abandoned, because power (as opposed to individuals) is an evil according to the media predicament. That's how I see it anyway.

and that's why I think the environment is our most important victim/prisoner. The battle to save the environment from short-term corporate interests is not a battle for polar bears. It's a battle for the children of the next (thousands of) centuries.

Amazing. In my opinion many violent conflicts of today have nothing to do with morality but a simple battle for resources, where neither group is good or evil but simply fighting to maintain a quality of life for themselves and their children.

This is such a good analysis.
