Unable to see my review I submitted last week for ' Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat '
Hi
I am a bit concerned about the submission of reviews that are within IMDb guidelines and yet that do not appear.
I am quite concerned that IMDb reviewers may have biases, conscious or unconscious, that are influencing the reviews being okayed for publishing.
For the review in question, I wish that it be noted that, I had not mentioned anything that was contrary to true facts, in fact anything that was not already shown in the documentary film. ' Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat ' is a documentary film that is purely based on facts, one that has garnered the highest review score of 100 by several leading newspapers including The New York Times, The Observer, Los Angeles Times and Wall Street Journal.
As a humanitarian who values truth and fairness to all people, If personal biases are indeed affecting user reviews submitted on IMDb, how do I flag the decision on my review to a supervisor or to the relevant higher department? I would highly appreciate your reply and an escalation if IMDb extends its users the right to have an unfair review decision contested.
The review in question is for the movie ' Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat ', submitted one week ago and is copied below for your reference:
What an amazing well-researched and superbly edited documentary that is filled with historic, factual and realistic visual, written and aural accounts interlaced throughout with powerful jazz music from heavyweights such as Louis Armstrong, "Dizzy" Gillespie and Nina Simone.. I couldn't get enough of it ! No wonder this documentary got 100 from several top reviewers, well-deserved!!!
In our current climate of political madness, increased ignorance and a world that is inching towards the precipice of a third world war, watching the great leaders of the past from around the world who stood on the right side of history gave me goosebumps and hope for the future of the world. It is important to see how white colonialists and imperialists - both within Europe and in settler colonial nations around the world, from Canada to Australia - to this day, cause, maintain and continue oppression, unrest, assassinations and genocide of indigenous people and the control of their lands and their natural resources. The murderers and war criminals include presidents, kings, ambassadors, military commanders, intelligence personnel and top politicians of these colonial powers, their agendas and culpability in these crimes are clear as the light of day.
Documentaries such as these should be a must-see in schools and universities, for a better understanding of white privilege, colonialist politics and their influence in the UN, the drivers of genocide and the double standards for humans rights, civil rights and justice depending on the color of your skin.
Summary: A powerful insight into white colonialism, their cronies in the UN and the brutal subjugation and genocide of the Congolese people in Africa
