Flint Water Crisis & Libya on the Brink (VICE on HBO: Season 4, Episode 15)

  • The water crisis in Flint, Michigan horrified the nation: a once-thriving industrial city had fallen on such hard times that residents couldn't even trust the water from their own taps. More shocking still were revelations that city and state officials knew about the problems with the water, but failed to take action or warn the public. VICE reports from Flint on the realities of life in a city poisoned by its own government.
    When the Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi was killed during the revolution of 2011, it seemed like good news for democracy in the Muslim world. But in 2012, the American ambassador and three other Americans were killed in a bloody attack in Benghazi. Today, a split between government factions has ceded large portions of the country to ISIS fighters and other extremists. VICE reports from the front lines as rival militias fight to save Libya as we know it.

    These officials poisoned their constituency, their people, and they're still walking free? Those monsters should be in prison. If not that, they should start writing checks to the thousands of people they have harmed or killed.

Other born with it and they didn't choose it right but god is fair the ones who get a dieseas and still have faith god will reward them. you see we all agree that life is hard most the time so why be afried of death right. Death is the beagining of an eternal life either in heaven or in hell depends on your decisions in life.

    it is times like these, when everyone is suffering, that we truly come together. it is awesome seeing different people, of different ethnic backgrounds, coming together to fight corruption. when the twin towers fell, everyone was an american, everyone was a brother in pain. no black, no white, no jews, no nazis, just american. it is sad that such a tragedy must occur for people to understand the meaning of unity...
