Packaged into entertainment, hollywood films influence impressionable minds seeking rebellion more so than resolution. This is not to state that Global Witness and Amnesty Int'l are not exposing actual circumstances, but weighed against industry claims it seems that these organizations might be dramatizing the negative aspects to the industry vs. reflecting them at their true levels.

The main character was played by Liam Neeson. It was set in Africa, I forget where exactly. If I'd call you either of those names, I'd call you a realist. Pessimists don't have much sense, they whine and sulk for no good reason. Light This reminds me of a movie I saw recently, The Constant Gardener. The main character was played by Liam Neeson.
