CGiii Comment
The havoc of religion's hatred versus the indomitable spirit of the minority...
This really is how documentaries should be made - no silly commentary, no hidden agenda and, carefully balanced...with all the parties concerned having their say.
There is so much passion in both camps - the American Evangelists are the epitome of cunning misguidedness, the politicians, the journalists, the Church...they are all a blight on humanity.
The joviality of the activists, smiling in the face of adversity, is as heartwarming as a child taking its first step...their mission, their ambition is a tribute to and a triumph of humanity.
We are all conceived the same way...let us all be perceived equal.
Hugely important, incredibly humbling, deeply moving.
RIP Mr Kato
