If he was to get to your country, it would have to be by boat. “Illegally”. Upon reaching/crashing onto the shores of australia, he would be sent to christmas island where, due to his audacity of choosing the boat’s floating-debris-survival-kit over his travel documents, he would be (if he was lucky) sent back or (most probably)held indefinitely.

All of this while the media, politicians & the general populace (some even “proud” descendants of european migrants/refugees who made it to australia via structured state endorsed migration plans) use his suffering for political(election agendas)/entertainment(tv talk shows etc) gains.

Somehow S.E.T.H I dont think he’s going to be able to squeeze tea and cigarettes in his tight schedule.

I hope that we in the West can embrace the sheer magnitude of this documentary. If we experienced even a modicum of the fear that Iraqi people face on a daily basis, since and as long this war continues
…maybe we could all understand.

If it was Iraq who held all the cards and if this war was on, US or Canadian soil and the shoe was on the other foot???

I believe that there is “good”, real good in the world and that people care for their own. We can use our senses to realize there is a fundamental problem with wars of aggression in countries that can’t hurt us.

Please don’t let me down, humanity.

Great docmentary, very eye opening. I think it did the best job of any i have watched as far showing the what is really happening in Iraq. Do you realize how much money and resources we have supplied to supposedly rebuild this country? With our economy where it is this should inflame the American people to no end to see this little progress is all that has been made. Not to mention the moral obligation of rebuilding these peoples lives after we destroyed them for our own selfish gain.

As far as the Isreali Palestinian conflict, its simple. Until they let go of their religious convictions it will never stop, and that isn’t going to happen. I am an atheist and cannot relate at all with this kind of thinking. How could you believe that some magical carpenter gave your people a stretch of land thousands of years ago? Why didn’t he give you guys Hawaii, its beats the desert? I mean this little strip of desert is the best he could do for his chosen peoples? And, if he is omnipotent and all seeing, didn’t he know this would also be considered holy ground to other religions, that by giving you this little strip of land he would be causing thousands of unnecessary deaths and leaving perfectly decent and moral people to struggle and live in fear? Give me a break!

Whatever, the music was great.

I won’t address the music other than to say I think your talent lies in making documentaries… That said, thanks for this wonderful insight and let us never forget the evil Bush and Cheney and other “leaders” like them who divide us all. Thumbs up, let us all remember how lucky we were in the birth lottery. You don’t need religion to extend a helpful hand to those less fortunate. Less religion and more condoms

Hi, first of all I’m Jewish so you’ll see where I’m coming from.
FYI, regarding the 6 days war back in 1967, I’ve a family member that died during the invasion going into Israel which took place before Israel retaliated so it wasn’t Israel that attacked the fellow arab countries.
I’ve a death certificate to acknowledge that.
BTW, my family would be considered to be a left wing family so you cannot consider us as supporters of any type of occupation.
Have a nice day.

The score in this documentary is extremely distracting and obnoxious and frustrating. I feel like he is exploiting his own documentary to plug his album/music. it’s pretty shameless. I’m not a fan of his music, but that’s besides the point. It would have really done the film more justice to limit the amount of plugging….and perhaps include the music in a much more subtle way. ugh even the VERY FIRST credit at the end of the movie is his Name. totally shameless.

I am LISTENING to this doc rather than watching (mostly), because i’m at work and so it’s possible that the music stands out even more since I’m not watching very much of it.

Otherwise, I feel that he was brave and noble to embark on this journey and to humanize people that have been reduced, at best, only to numbers…larger numbers…or no numbers at all.

@ younes

I think most people want to buy the music to help support the artist so he can keep doing what he is doing, to remind them of this beautiful documentary, or because his songs may say what they have wanted to say but couldn’t. Just because they didn’t comment directly about the peoples suffering doesn’t mean they are “shallow” or do not feel for them. Don’t be so quick to snap to moral judgements on others, you will fihd you are often mistaken. No offense intended, sorry if any was taken.

am really disappointed at the level of engagement of most of the commentators… it shows how shallow has become the level of thinking and understanding..the focus on the music rather than the suffering of people is really astonishing..keep degrading..
