Director of hit drama 'The Promise' owns pro-Israeli critics

Peter Kosminsky, director of popular Channel 4 TV serial 'The Promise' responds to accusations of inaccuracy and distortion. The research that went into this show was clearly extensive despite the howls of protest emanating from the pro-Israeli crowd, Kosminsky does a good job here of defending his magnificent work.

The Promise received widespread acclaim from many publications. The Daily Express called it "...a little burning bush of genius in the desert of well-intentioned TV dramas..." The Independent said it was "...beautifully shot and extremely well written. It is also extremely balanced..." The Observer said it was "...the best thing you are likely to see on TV this year, if not this decade." Le Figaro said it was "magnificently filmed and masterfully acted... perfectly balanced... great television." Finally, The Telegraph predicted that "Bafta judges will be watching. I recommend you do too." They were right, the BAFTAs are on the 22nd of May, let's hope they win!

where can i watch this film in it's full length?

[bs09b2s]

@BellaSonia05 Google 'Promise 4od' and you can watch it online, theres 4 episodes each about an hour and a half. Oh and you have to be in the UK as well!

[BellaSonia05]

@bs09b2s Thank you for responding! Unfortunately I'm in the States and & can't watch it! Do u know if they will release this world-wise anytime soon?

[bs09b2s]

@BellaSonia05 I dont think it will be released worldwide but you could just download it. Go to warez-bb.org and then go to TV shows and search for the Promise. There are plenty of working links there

ISRAEL = BIGGEST THREAT TO WORLD PEACE. ISRAEL MUST RECOGNIZE PALESTINES RIGHT TO EXIST!

Why does everyone who claims to be a Jew say they had family decimated in the Holocaust ?? I'm going back to the census !!

[Sangrenegra9]

@GreekSnake23 - ...oh yeah? So the fact that Peter Kosminsky is also a Jew, or that the film was inspired more than anything by the testimonies of former British soldiers (really hardcore islamists!) still points to an apparent conspiracy to spread the word of Islam?

Notice also how most of the prominent critics of the series were either well-known Zionists or Zionist organizations!

This is so sad :'(

@rageagaintstheNWO ever heard about the vanse commitee??!! back than the nazis spoke about the murdering of 8-9 million jews. you'd better check yourself before you'll wreck yourself. don't say shit before checking the real facts, cause i saw the horrible sight of the pile of ashes from the victims of mejdanek.

[TheLordIdanZiegeL]

@rageagaintstheNWO in latvia i saw the death pits. six million jews were murdered in the most brutal way possible. 1 and half million were kids. in a war that took the lives of 60 million people around the globe(17 million only in russia) it's sure is possible that 6 million jews were murdered. where have all they gone??!! 3 million jews in poland pre ww2 and after the war less than 250000 survived!!! the same thing about the jews from germany, greece, austria, lithunia, the balkans and etc.

[TheLordIdanZiegeL]

@rageagaintstheNWO 1 and a half million were murdered only in auswitz!!! andother 1 and a half million were murdered in the death pits. 750000 jews were murdered in trablinka!!! and there were other places. in the warsaw ghetto alone 250000 people were killed by starvation. that's the miserable truth. in Yad Vashem in israel there are testimonies for 4.5 million victims! don't you bullshit me. i'm a witness of the holocaust sites. i saw auswitz, treblinka, sovivor, warsaw ghetto, lodz ghetto

[rageagaintstheNWO]

Grammar fail

Research*

[rageagaintstheNWO]

@TheLordIdanZiegeL Officialy the numbers were reduced to around 1 million and not just jews. Do some resarch if you don't belive me. Where do you get this nonsense SIX MILLION? It's a myth. Stop spewing carbage.

[TwoStupidGirlsYT]

It's actually such a good show. I watched it because I am studying the events of that time and it really gets you involved with what was happening. Beautifully produced.

That last lady to speak brings a tear to my eyes.
