Cup Of Noodles After Stomach Flu

Deliver Us from Evil – The Cove






time ago, I first saw Capturing the Friedmans. I got my hands almost by accident, and had to make an effort to see her, and that turns me off the genre "documentary" or better, always prioritized feature films.
I was amazed by this story, for the record, testimony, doubts, ambiguities, and also the facts, evidence, causes and consequences.
was such a hit that it generated in me as a viewer, I wanted to continue feeding on other films and of strong and intense. And I discovered that road Deliver Us from Evil ( Deliver Us from Evil , 2007), filmmaker Amy Berg, and Oscar nominee.
quote the synopsis of Affinity Film: Documentary about the sexual scandals of the Catholic Church in America. [...] Tells the story of Father Oliver O'Grady, best known pedophile in the history of the modern church. Compulsive sexual predator, devoid of remorse, O'Grady used his charm and authority as a religious leader to violate dozens of children from Catholic families across Northern California for over 20 years. Despite the evidence and complaints from several parishioners, the Church hierarchy hatched an elaborate plan to conceal their crimes and discredit his accusers while the father moved O'Grady from parish to parish. Some internal church documents show that he raped and sodomized with the full knowledge of their superiors. Director Amy Berg contacted Father O 'Grady, and miraculously persuaded him to intervene in the filming of the documentary. Using his chilling testimony as a starting point, the film exposes the high level of corruption within the Church within Catholic, and encourage any victims to recount their harrowing experiences. "
The film conveys a lack of power by the apathy and simulated blindness unworthy of the high clergy, and the testimonies of victims, which have become adults, they are moving. The crudest time comes when some of them, with the help of a priest, write a letter to the Pope, and special trips to the Vatican for this. Witness for yourselves what happens. Compulsory viewing, especially in schools in the priesthood, but that's not going to happen.
scares the data on the percentage of victims who are silent testimonies for life, and of around 80%.
In a very different record, with higher production and supported by several NGOs, wanted to see the Oscar-winning documentary feature in the latest installment, The Cove (The Cove, 2009).
Led by former National Geographic photographer Louis Psihoyos, who contacted who was the trainer of Flipper , the charming dolphin that gave birth to the iconic series, currently shown remorse for having been part of start powerful industrial market from the image of dolphins, and what became of there: aquariums, illegal fishing, endangered species, etc.
The film documents the slaughter of more than 23,000 dolphins in a cove in Taiji, Wakayama (Japan). This creek is denied access, and computer Psihoyos and infiltrate happens underwater microphones and high-definition cameras disguised as rocks.
The strength of the recorded images're scared. View a sea portion is stained red from an impact rarely seen.
Of course, here the viewer also visit impotence, to see how Japanese officials made and unmade at will without any laws that make it impossible. Two films
very strong, but it really necessary, humane and honest.
