blatant disregard for other human beings
To kick things off for this academic year, here's a documentary on a small population called the Chagossians (Diego Garcia Island) who's been successfully kicked out of their homeland by none other than the government of the United Kingdom and the United States. Tragic. Cheers Aidi for enlightening me.



Title: Stealing A Nation, Special Report by John Pilger

Their song:
When I was living in Diego,
I was like a beautiful bird in the sky,
Since I've been in Mauritius,
We are living a worthless life,
Help me my friend, help me to sing,
To send our message to the world,

Note: Check the vid clip's uploader (cheegum) on Youtube for part 2 through to 6.
