Tiananmen Square protests , You are so luck~!!!

(this video chinese people can not watch it because their government don;t allow them to access the internet to find out those kind of video)

Every weekend, there are a lot of people gathered in front of the state library. They expressed their view of the political issue, sex issue, homosexual issue and so on. Australia government respects their freedom of speech and will not try to resist the people. He only arranges the police to ensure safety of the public and makes sure their activist will not influence the traffic. People not only can express their view in a public place but also via the internet. They can be the filmmakers, particularly social activists, from creating content that is often critical of the status quo. DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE SO LUCKY?! I think some of the people that this is the basic right. But let me tell you the truth that is not……………..

Some of the Asia countries such as China, North Korea, Union of Myanmar and so on. People cannot talk about their country or against the political issue. If the government notices that, they will need to jail for life or few years. They cannot discuss those sensitive topics in a public place therefore some of the director or public try to act some film to put in the internet such as YouTube. How relevant do you think online documentary is in ensuring the potential for all voices to be heard, and more importantly, freedom of speech? It depends on different rules of different countries. For most of the western countries, the relationship of online documentary and freedom of speech intimately connected. People can be the filmmakers to promote their idea via internet such as the Obama girls or other documentary. No one will try to find out your IP address and arrest. You don't need to worry anything and upload it. THAT’S ALL!!! The documentary can put in the internet for a long time.

For most of the Asia countries what I mention before, online documentary does not have the potential for all voices to be heard and freedom of speech. Don't talk about the online documentary, take North Korea as an example, their computer can only link to the intranet, their government do not allow them to connect to the internet. They are trying to control their citizen. Take China as an example, when the people try to type some against government words or video, their government will not only allow them to access it but also will find out their IP address and arrest them. See this is the different between Western and Asia. So that it depends on different rules of different countries.

In my point of opinion, online documentary is a new way for the public to express their emotion and let the government to improve their political issue. I wish the people to cherish their right .
