Noel, I enjoyed this clip. I'd like to see the rest of it, if possible.

It caotures the demeaning attitudes and psychology that accompany colonial and imperialistic occupation and conquest. You can see similar tactics being used today in Iraq and other parts of the world.

@JCaguin If you have read about the KATIPUNAN (K.K.K.), you're already aware of the brutality of Americans in those years after we defeated the spaniards.

What CRAP! Get a life. Learn something other than running your mouth about things that didn't happen and are now subject to your poor revisionist scholarship.

they killed every 10 year old so no one can reign or take over the npa's in the phil...how rude

Gen Jacob Smith. The man who pillaged my mom's home province in reaction to the Balangiga Encounter (one of their worst defeats before Vietnam and Iraq). They literally made it a "howling wilderness." They erased the villages just as you said. Now, you can see it, but the people of Eastern Samar are slowly rising again. Thanks for putting up the comment.

Very educational. I was never taught the history of the Filipinos growing up in the US. I really enjoyed this clip. Hope to see more out there.

Thanks, I will contact him there. Noel, sat next to me on a flight to Rome July 1st. We talked about films. I was on my way to do a jazz tour of Europe, which finishes tomorrow and he was going to shoot footage for the Live Earth broadcast. He told me about this clip on youtube. I'm glad he did.
