Rio Tinto… global miners, film impressarios… genocide?

“A US federal appeals court has revived a lawsuit seeking to hold Rio Tinto responsible for human rights violations and thousands of deaths linked to a Bougainville copper and gold mine it once ran.”

How convenient for the mining companies that an Australian film will promote their industry to the world. Are these the same mining companies that resist paying a resource tax to the Australian public?[comment edited]

And yet these same companies care enough about a stray dog to pour funds into a feel-good movie.

Red Dog is currently featured at an Australian film festival in Israel, while that apartheid state imprisons and humiliates millions of Palestinians in their own homeland.

Culture and entertainment that is prostituted to serve inhumane and destructive regimes and corporations is nothing more than propaganda.
