It does what it says on the tin.
A simplistic plot.
A damsel in distress must be rescued by a hero against impossible odds.
A black and white vision of good and evil.

BUT WHAT EVIL!

Like no other movie I have ever seen, perhaps Schindler's List, this movie demonstrates the evil of ethnic cleansing, tyranny and injustice that the West would like to pretend does not exist.

Nobody can see this movie and not be changed, outraged and forced to do something for the people of Burma and other peoples oppressed through out the world. read full story / add a comment

Jim argues that only Republican socialist leaders such as Connolly and Costello were free of the illusion of their compatibility. read full story / add a comment

On Wednesday, February 27th, news broke of the Health Services Executive’s decision to freeze funding for homeless services.

Yet another Iranian Trade Unionist is threatened with flogging by the Iranian Theocratic Regime. His "crime"? Participating in "illegal" Mayday demonstrations. Here is an appeal from Iranian Trade Unionists, support them in their struggle against the Iranian Dictatorship.

A summons for the administration of a flogging has now been issued for Tayyeb Chatani for participating in the May 1st event last year. Mr Chatani works at Par Rees factory, where he is an active shop steward. Eleven of the workers arrested for taking part in the May 1st event last year in Sanandaj were sentenced to 91 days in prison and 10 strikes of the lash. The Appeal Court changed the sentences to fines, but upheld the sentence of 10 lashes. So far, the lashing have been carried out in the case of 3 workers: Seddigh Amjadi, Habibollah Kalekaani and Faares Gaviliaan. The only crime of these workers is having participated in the May Day ceremony in Sanandaj. read full story / add a comment
