The Italian Job : g8 protest 2001 (part 1 of 2)

In July 2001 a small team of college classmates went along to the G8 protest in Genoa. This is their story.

The movie is in two parts and is in reality a promo for an as yet incomplete documentary film. But it gives a good insight to this part of world history.

Directed by Peadar Casey

Wtf I want my time and bandwith I wasted by clicking on your video

[videoist]

@TheDarkNobleOne i suppose you want the time you spent typing that comment back too?.. something tells me you waste a lot of time.. and bandwidth... and space.. and oxygen.

[360kal]

why would you wanna use a title belonging to a movie

its true what estrontube its "misleading"

[videoist]

@360kal idiot... the title belongs to a movie? you should get out more. orange is a colour as well as a fruit.. should we change the name to avoid confusing you? there are many films / tv programmes etc that share the same name..

I don't give a fuck about your G8 protest faggot. I was looking for the Italian Job movie, not this bullshit. Nobody wants to watch your misleadingly titled video. Go away.

what the fuck is this?

[videoist]

@djmkd the title of this short documentary which my friends made in Genoa is "The Italian Job". that is a fact. the title is not intended to mislead. if you were looking for something else, you didn't find it. i find these comments amusing as they indicate the level of stupidity and frustration which prevails among youtube commenters. people looking for g8 videos will find it. people looking for the film should really look harder (easier) or look elsewhere.

@djmkd you are way off.

@bernd9000 many agree but you lose credibility by being rude. .We all want humanity but how human is it calling fellow humans horrible names, i know you may be passionate about this, but chill out, thats not the way. People have opinions that should be respected even if we disagree. After all thats what the right to peaceful protest is. What do we become if we sacriice dignity using insults to get a point accross? The loser of any argument is the 1 that loses logic & reason & the point is lost!

[djmkd]

@videoist Then title it correctly and lets share it among friends for what it really is. Not deceive people into watching the first 10 seconds only to get annoyed and switch off. Tell people what this video is, ask them to watch and UNDERSTAND IT then share it under an appropriate title. You cannot force people to watch,it just turns people from the cause.

@bernd9000, when you insult anyone you lose credibility & come down a level no matter what your opinion & make people ignore u2! chill out!

[djmkd]

@videoist cos everyone agrees you've mislead! Many disagree wth G8 too but you discredit the cause & make others ignore what would b a good message by lying 2 them, If u have a fantastic product 4 sale, no-one will buy if you have to lie to get them to listen to you. I will not be sharing this video, which is where people really get hits from (sharing on facebook etc) so, short term you get loads of hits, 99% of people dont like what they see but long term your vid is not famous cos no 1 shares!

[djmkd]

its not about hating g8 critics,

yes no-one owns the name italian job but VIDEOIST discredits genuine g8 critics by making them look dishonest to get a message accross. people looking for g8 videos wont find it & those that do will be annoyed at being mislead. If i was invited to a singles night & was excited 2 go & found that it was a jahovas witness meeting night i'd be pissed off & even if the message was fantastic, i'd be in a bad mood & not be receptive to it thereby defeating the object.
