    Evan – Brilliantly presented and very well narrated in a strong clear voice, and it’s amazing and very disturbing what is going on under our very noses in China that we are mostly unaware of here in the west, like the horrors perpetrated in Rwanda that few of us knew about till they were over.

    I agree wholeheartedly with Bruce and Peter. Mike and I watched this eye-opening, well produced documentary last night and would thoroughly recommend it to all. We’re hoping the truth gets out there for everyone to see. Very well done!

    Using an overused adjective which is applicable in this case, this documentary is awesome!

    Watched this the day it came out, and decided to comment only when I had sent the link with a personal request to watch it to 20 other people. Haven’t reached my goal yet, but I’m telling others it’s a beautifully done 20-minute film that will remind them of The Ten Commandments.
