Massive respect to Ken in the first documentary, this man did not care about money nor publicity nor anything, he only wanted to show the truth that many famous charities around the world are extremly bad and do not stick to their core values and are only interested in cashing out the donation money

[@speedy692]

Couldn't agree more. I've known a few people who ran Charity shops. Only the managers get paid. They use people on bail behind their counters, you don't know who's serving you, a certain area in my town had a few sex offenders working in their shop, they get sent from the courts. They get their clothes donated & if anything doesn't sell in a month or so they just get rid of it all. A lot of the charity shops in my area are quite expensive, the stuff is donated but they would charge £30 - £40 for a coat. A lot of charities also do fundraisers like fun runs etc, but it's been proven many times it costs more to organise & hold these events than they actually make from them. But the biggest con was Mother Theresa. she raised millions to build orphanages that weren't actually built & other donations for orphanages that existed were not upgraded etc & the children lived in squalor, the money went into the Vatican's banks. Every night on tv you see ads to adopt hippos, bears etc, it's one ad after another. I say to myself why does a Bear need adopted it just gets on with what it does? Charities are a con just to make money for themselves. Live Aid is another good example, most of the money went to Ethiopian warlords to fund the civil war in Ethiopia.

[@JustAnotherGamer1005]

Most charities and 'equal rights' instances are just for show, run by higher paied 'management' and either 'volunteers' or minimum wage personal. It's just for rich people to buy of their 'look what a good person I am' image and even legally evade taxes. I've had my share of (governmental) instances who were set up to help people for situations. Situations I was in at the times I knocked at their doors. But instead of helping me, they just constantly showed me the door and instead of helping me, they were actually trying to keep me in trouble even longer. And still to this day, the orginization groups that claim to fight for me, are actually the ones silencing me and are exactly doing what they are advocating you shouldn't to to people like me. So a lot of hypocritism. Media is also part of it. Don't think that in this day and age, you get to hear what is really going on. Media and politics go hand in hand. If you want to help someone or a group of people, just help them on your own instead of relying on these 'charities' and organizations, because the people they claim to help, aren't getting helped. Just a few to keep up appearences, but a lot are just ignored.

It should be illegal to ban an unbiased documentary. Why is it legal to ban a documentary but not do anything about all of the crimes being shown?

[@abcdefghijk8925]

Because sometimes the governments are involved too. Cover ups happen.

[@twinmothz]

Because people will censor what they don’t want exposed. That’s why I believe independent films and documentaries are very important to preserve as they are not motivated by corporate agendas or societal preferences (for the most part). I have a lot of respect for journalists and filmmakers who strive to broadcast the facts, not squeaky-clean, politically correct scripts. I definitely agree with you.

[@812558]

Whether or not those biases are true reflections of life or not there is no such thing as an "unbiased" documentary: Just purely based on the fact that you're constructing the edits, choosing what to film and constructing the narrative of the story you wish to tell *every* documentary has a level of bias inherent in the genre.

[@verybarebones]

Probably the companies interested in hiding the information hold the copyrights or image rights to it.

[@azmoe99]

When the documentary is paid for by 1 interested side, it is not unbiased. In fact, in the first case mentioned, the UNBIASERD view is why the film was banned. The group didn't like the unbiased view of them.

[@mikehawk4388]

Fellas, remember this: if you ever make something with even the slightest potential of getting altered or censored, we now live in an era where it's much easier to save yourself a copy just in case. Don't tell anyone you have it. Release it underground, or on the internet. This recently happened with a lost vintage cartoon, either 'Clockman' or 'Cracks,' in an anonymous fashion after talk was had with searchers & creators. They were held back by copyright laws from sending it to searchers properly, even though the studios had no intention of ever releasing it to the public. One day, a master copy was sent to a searcher anonymously & uploaded. You can't prove who sent it.

Karen Carpenter's story changed the Dr.s treat eating disorders. She was actually in recovery from her Anorexia when she died. What people didn't realize is that you can't go from eating almost nothing and being severely malnourished to eating normal and gaining a shitload of weight right away. It has to be a gradual process.

[@kevinc865]

Most Doctors where following what they learned from the Minnesota experiment which has nothing to do with eating disorders which is why they taught large quantities of food is the way to treat malnutrition which is false.

[@hugablestpersonever]

Exactly! A lot of people don't realise that even though someone might be recovering from Anorexia- they are still in an extremely vulnerable state that is still very near death. So sad to hear the stories of those who finally are able to seek help and look like they're finally doing well, but still die due to this horrible illness.

[@runlarryrun77]

Hmm... the soldiers who liberated the camps at the end of WW2 knew about it. It even had the name back then, "re-feeding syndrome". But yes, they knew they couldn't let the surviving prisoners gorge themselves because their stomachs would have ruptured. I don't think medical science forgot about it in the 40 years or so between the end of WW2 & Karen Carpenter's sad death. I am afraid that it was probably more a case of unsympathetic doctors who just didn't care. Being a mental health patient myself I can tell you that the problem persists to this day.

Poor Karen 💔 my mom struggled with anorexia when I was little. I didn't notice anything because she was always skinny. She only did it to look good for my stepdad because she found out he was cheating. I remember the day she had to get taken to the emergency room for it. I remember me and my grandma hearing her cry and wince in pain when she tried moving her legs. She could barely lift them enough to put on her pants. She started crying a lot and had to sit on the bed because she was in a lot of pain. I don't remember if we called the ambulance or just took her in ourselves but apparently she had a potassium deficiency and it was pretty bad. She lied and said it was because she ate too much pickles just to protect me. I think the smallest she's ever been was 100 something and a little below. She was her early 30s at that time. But... Sadly, she passed away last week from suicide. Her funeral is on Monday. She struggled with mental illnesses and it finally got to her. She was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder last month. I can't say I'm not affected by what my family has cursed us with. I have PTSD and bipolar II disorder. After she passed, it's been hard to focus on everything and myself. I miss her so much...

Now, they always sang in the car, but not like this!! It was such a beautiful moment.

She scowled at me and told me to go back to my room. I was crying hysterically. They then threatened to medicate me with a needle if I didn't stop crying. I seen them TACKLE a 19 yr old boy, 6 men did this, and they shot him up with drugs all because he left his room. He wasn't dangerous, he wasnt on anything, he just wanted to know what they were giving him. They forced medications on us without explaining any of it at all. If we refused, they would tackle us, and shoot us up. If anyone wants to know where this was: Meadowood, in Delaware. Its a fucking HELLHOLE. And they get away with it all.

A lot of the donations simply go into administrative fees (like Mother's Against Drunk Driving or We Day). Also I am a little critical of the "savior mentality" they push upon us in the "western" (or developed, or eurocentric, however you'd like to define it), instead of propping up infrastructure and creating meaningful change; it seems that highly recognizable acts of charity (i.e. 6 volunteers build a house for a family; though these individuals have little building skills and in reality we should be teaching the community to do so themselves while providing the resources) is what they prefer to focus on.

Ken Loach is a national treasure. He has spoken about the neglected and marginalised members of society, for over fifty years now. His recent film "Sorry We Missed You" is a heartwrenching look at a family trying to survive on zero hours' contracts with harrowing results. Even in his twilight years, Ken shows compassion for those people who have very little luck. He is in a dwindling breed now. Today's audiences want happy afterward stories in films and not the terrible reality of life. Ken Loach remains a true champion of the underdog. People like him don't appear that often.

[@annerigby4400]

Audiences have always wanted the happy ever afterward stories. What is different today is the apparent increased lack of interest in/denial of the existence of some of the terrible realities of life - and doing anything about it - but a fascination for so-called 'reality TV' where people artificially behave 'meanly' or 'badly' and where someone often gets removed from the show by vote of the other participants.

I was born in 1992 and, at the age of two, Karen Carpenter became my favorite singer for life. I remember being about five or six telling my mom that I wanted to go to a Carpenters concert. My mom had to break the news to me that she was dead. Though she died before I was born, those short years in which I had no knowledge of her passing are years I treasure. Treasure in the way you know a friend you then lose suddenly, if that makes sense. I’ve spent many years researching her and learning all about her. I wish she had been allowed to stay behind the drum kit. I wish Richard had understood what she was going through, but he got himself addicted to Quaaludes. To be honest, the multitasking behind drumming and singing displayed the extent of her talent much more than the generic stance behind the microphone that he forced on her. And who can forget their mother who saw talent in Richard and little else in Karen. I often wonder what went through Agnes’ mind each time she saw the crowds cheering for Karen or the brother-sister duo as a collective. There is no denying that Richard is a piano prodigy, but the audience didn’t go to their concerts to see him play. They came to see Karen drum and sing. She was a pioneer for female drummers. She was ultimately a lifesaver to millions of women battling Anorexia Nervosa in the shadows. She is the reason the Carpenters are a classic, cherished band. I’m glad her documentary was featured in this video.

Apparently this film (which may have been a snuff film as when my parents were kids/teens/young adults, a lot of the things we refer to as taboo today were definitely in full swing back then) showed from beginning to end: a young girl undergoing Female Genital Mutilation; the savagery of cannibal tribes compared to white European elites who were also cannibals but remained anonymous, and elites eating monkey brains as a delicacy.

On the subject of hospitals for the criminally insane and censorship, i'm a former patient of St Andrews in the UK and the conditions there were awful its only being reported on in recent years. Theyd do things such as restrain us, stick needles in us then throw us in the box for 12 hours just for swearing. Sometimes they'd refuse to unlock the toilets for us if that staff member didn't like us or if we'd pissed them off. A lot of staff would pretend not to see anything when patients bullied each other, some staff would even let us fight each other. A lot of staff joined in with bullying patients too In there we weren't allowed anything that could record audio or anything that could do videos and photos. Also whenever there were books or news articles about patients and their crimes (even books/articles about former patients), they would remove the pages or just not let us have that paper or book. A few years after i got out i saw a documentary about the crimes of a guy i'd met in there and i started reading up on the other patients i knew there.

In defense of bare-knuckle boxing, I’ve read that there are fewer deaths there than in official boxing. When using your bare knuckles, you have to pull punches to the face so you don’t mess up your hands. But with boxing gloves, you can hit way harder. Boxing gloves do more to protect the puncher’s hands that they do the punched person’s head.

[@MandenTV]

CrazyPangolinLady Bare knuckle boxing is probably safer than football. I did my share of street brawling as a teenager and have been punched in the head a shit ton and done a lot of bare knuckle fights, probably about 8 years of it. Don’t have any problems with my head or hands. It’s safe, but it’s just scary to most people.

[@psycheevolved1428]

It's true but your reasoning is wrong. The reason is that gloves allow someone to take more damage to the head because it isn't felt as much, doing more damage.

Darren Evans the gloves allow the puncher’s hand to take more damage. The gloves are actually worse for the person being hit due to force being spread out and the increased possibility of concussion.

I didn't know Karen Carpenter died of Anorexia. I remember hearing she had an eating disorder, but this was the first time I'd ever seen her when she was so skinny (emaciated, really), and I hadn't realized that she'd actually died of it.

[@vixenrevitup]

Karen Carpenter technically died from cardiac arrest which was a complication of the damage done to her body because of Anorexia Nervosa. They also found Synthroid in her system during her autopsy, which contributed to the rapid heart rate that ultimately triggered the fatal attack. She’s actually one of the reasons why Synthroid/Levothyroxine has black box warnings for use in patients with eating disorders. Back in the day when drugs were less regulated, people were obtaining the drug for use outside of its intended purpose (normalizing thyroid levels), and Karen realized that the drug affected her heart rate, so she abused it to help her burn more calories in a day. She died just shy of nine years before I was born, but she will forever be my favorite singer of all time.

In so much of the developing world, charities are often the cause of more problems than they solve. A new form of colonialism.

[@rowanmelton7643]

Referring to your last sentence, often times it's not so much intentional, it's just when you have a 3rd hand that genuinely means well, but has no idea of the local culture and geopolitics, it can often cause more issues. Afghanistan is a prime example. The US tried to build a new government, and they focused all the power in the capital. However, historically the distribution of power in Afghanistan was widely spread. It bred a perfect environment for the Taliban to take over quickly. Partly because everyone outside of the capital had been forgotten, and because the infrastructure was all wrong. For a country to develop effectively it has to be internal. There has never been a country on earth that was basically created by a foreign state, and it actually function and thrived successfully. Sure there's things we can do to stop immediate suffering or problems. But only the people of said nation will ever be able to truly fix major internal issues. Of which I'm addressing economy and government.

The Titicut Follies were part of a longer documentary which was shown by YT up until last year. It was about a facility for the criminally insane.

True, some of the inmates were uncontrollable and, the guards were what some people perceived as unnecessary punishers. Perhaps the guards were trying to protect themselves from harm because I would have been scared that I may have been violated. Some of those inmates were very scary!!

Why would a charity worker take tens of millions out of the business for their own wage? Why? Because it genuinely happens. Just look up unicef and how poorly its kept. For the love of God if you are going to donate, give it to smaller charities where your money will go further. I did a whole school year project on charities and I don't know why it isn't common knowledge by now.

Her parents got the assinine idea that sending her to "fat camp" made more sense than getting her any sort of mental health support for her eating disorder.
