I wonder if the islanders were consulted in order for a balanced teaching perspective to be achieved?
May 21st, 2011 - 09:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0Balanced? With that list of 'experts' attending? They think we're joking when we tell them they are indoctrinated from birth, yet I couldn't see a set of UK or Falklander students of the same age group sitting and participating through something like that, even if it were as biased as presentation as this appears to be, but totally in favour of the British perspective.
May 22nd, 2011 - 11:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0UK and Falklander students would all either get up and leave or start arguing with the experts that the presentation was so one-sided, and laced with nationalistic political propaganda, that the whole thing was a waste of their precious study time.
Because these Argentine students ARE indoctrinated from birth, these so called 'experts' are quite confident in peddling the Big Lie, and if it is a success, it just proves that the indoctrination process is working.
I would just like to say that i believe that this film is important, my dad was the officer on watch on the bridge of HMS Coventry when she was sunk. not only because of that do i think that this film should be made but also for all the people who lost their lives there.. so i would appreciate it if you would kindly pipe down because you no nothing!!
