Has this been posted? If so disregard but if not I found it rather interesting :o.

 

I watched it when it was on BBC last Monday night, it was very interesting but I thought that it felt very one-sided. I would have liked it to explore the positives of both sides as well, and not just the negatives of one side.

 

Still very interesting though! :D

I stopped watching when they blamed Eurovision for the Cold War :drama:

 

Or was that another show?

I really enjoyed this. It didn't need to show 'the other side'. Exactly what is the silver lining to human rights abuses? Oh they have those pretty flame towers.....

I know what you mean, but surely there must be one positive that the current Government is bringing to the country? But then again maybe not, but I would still liked to have seen something about 'the other side'. I don't know, it just felt too one-sided but I get what you mean.

I watched this earlier after wanting to know what Graham Norton meant about Loreen being the only contestant to speak out about the human rights in Azerbaijan and it's truly awful! I told my mum about it too, and it makes you think how lucky we are to have a safe, equal society. A balanced argument would've been disgusting to show against it.

It's a documentary about human rights abuses, the point is to highlight them, not talk about whatever great things the Azeri government is doing. There is no positive that can come as a result of them - a government can be effective without denying democracy and abusing its people.
