China's Unnatural Disaster: The Tears of Sichuan Province

This is a very F***ed up story but unfortunately an all too real one.
Cheers
"China's Unnatural Disaster: The Tears of Sichuan Province," which premieres on HBO tonight, is a heartbreaking example of what can only be called "Testimonial Television." Almost a year after an earthquake in central China killed an estimated 70,000 people -- 10,000 of them children -- there is nothing to find among the rubble except sorrow and rage.
As all over Sichuan Province, schools filled with students collapsed while other buildings remained standing, grief-stricken parents demanded help from the government, help that never came. First emergency teams were routed away from smaller towns and villages where parents could hear children crying for help from beneath the debris. A fortunate few were able to actually dig their children out, others eventually found the corpses of their children (and were told to bury them themselves) but many were left with only the heaps of brick and dust to serve as a mass grave.
