Featured review
Have people forgotten the lesson?
I was a little kid when this happened and I still remember it well. At least what was said of it in the media at the time.
In this documentary you watch it along with some of the people who were there from the beginning to the tragic end. So it's a different, more factual, and realistic view vs the more entertainment driven reenactment documentaries shown previously.
It's painful to watch, to revisit again, but maybe it should be required watching for students to learn from.
The lesson is us human beings haven't change that much in the last 70 years or so. There are evil minded that learn how to manipulate people. Know the human nature tricks of how to condition and train them with fear, anxiety, and lies. To combat this we know how to recognise the characteristics of cults, the psychopaths, and don't let them gain a position of power.
