hi, do you have the information of which German TV station has done this documentary?

[tuschman168]

The documentary was produced by Hawke Productions ltd but I don't know if it was for a specific TV station or an independant production. I've done a little research but all I could find out is that Hawke Productions is probably based in Austria and not in Germany at all. I should probably change that in the description but I'm not a 100 % sure so I won't.

[einsamaberfrei]

Thanks for your prompt reply! It is in German language though, so you haven't mistaken. I've tried to search the word "Hawke Productions" but couldn't find any information about it, so probably the company doesn't exist any more. Or maybe the name is just a translation, because if it is in German, it would be "Produktionen", but sometimes Austrian or German companies do have an English name.

[tuschman168]

Yes, it would seem as if these informations are lost to all but the most rigorous researchers. Oh well, what can you do? :)

Libertarianism: the city.

[TheMasterOfMovie]

Reminds me of Blade Runner.

[TheMisterMaster3000]

Yeah, Ron Paul is not for anarchy. So he would not jerk off. Anarchists do. Sure, the situation was not a western 2010 standard, but the people chosed to live there. Not in Hong Kong, not in China. I don't know, if they had the opportunity to live in Hong Kong but in China for sure. So take this pictures and be asure, that the situation there was worse...

[TheMisterMaster3000]

Obviously anarchy works. 50 000 people said so. They chosed to live there.

Ron Paul jerks off to videos like this.

[singedrac]

this video looks to be trying to be a bit sensationalistic, but i'm glad to see it. kowloon walled city was an interesting social experiment.

If you understand what the 'inmates' are talking about, they are actually laughing at the people who are filming them and feeling good about themselves XD
