An interview with Maria Ressa, a journalist in the Philippines. Ressa details the oppressive regime of President Rodrigo Duterte that threatens violence against the press and creates a constant sense of danger. Ressa was named the Time magazine person of the year for her reporting on Duterte’s aggressive drug war, under threats of prison and violence. She has been arrested twice. Ressa says she will not be intimidated out of her battle for truth in the Philippines. Salvador Panelo, a presidential spokesman claims that criticisms of Duterte’s drug war are exaggerated.

In the last 3 years, a dozen journalists in the Philippines have been shot or beaten to death, and Ressa has been dismissed as “fake news” by Duterte.

The Lebanese Civil War saw 170,000 dead, 1 million displaced and 17,000 people still missing.

This film exposes the hypocrisy of the Western nations which continue to support Pol Pot, despite the atrocities of his regime. Not only has Pol Pot been allowed to occupy Cambodia's seat in the United Nations, but the Western nations have been secretly selling them weapons for use in their civil war.

Few Westerners realize the grave situation of India's "untouchables." There are 150 million of them who live a segregated life. They cannot own land or get an education and are condemned to the most menial jobs, such as sweeping streets, cleaning toilets, or butchering animals. In the villages they are subject to abuse, sometimes killed for minor slights to the landowners. From birth, all alternatives are closed to them. While the government has tried to improve the condition of the untouchables, these attempts have been met by strong resistance. Upper caste Hindus profit from this source of cheap labor. In addition, the Hindu notion that the untouchable is impure is deeply ingrained. However, a few leaders have arisen from their ranks, who work for change. College Adult

The abandoned Char, an island experiencing massive erosion due to a change in the currents of the river Ganga due to dam building, lies between Bangladesh and India. It is where a boy named Rubel and his family live, along with those who have lost their homes countless times. This meandering river Ganga changes its flow with cyclones, and its fragile earth frequently caves in. The island appears as a gift that the river Ganga gives to the people as a shelter after it rips away their native village with floods. The only means of survival for the inhabitants of Char is to smuggle contraband into the black market. At 14, Rubel wants to go to school, but he is responsible for the family’s livelihood. Reality compels him to venture back and forth between India and Bangladesh every day to keep his family from starving to death.
