Are there places where this type of genocide actually happens? If so, where? Is this supposed to be Darfur?
shareTry the concentration camps in North Korea. Nazi-style concentration camps from 1945 in 2012. Entire families disappear into those gulags and are never heard from again.

And go ahead and bring up "BUT WORLD WAR 2!" Britain was dragged into it by force of arms. The United States was perfectly content to ignore fascism - and some Americans even liked the idea - until that numb *beep* Hitler declared war on us after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Certainly we didn't care about saving people in the death camps that no one really knew about yet. Otherwise boatloads of refugees wouldn't have been turned around prior to U.S. involvement.
To the OP: read a *beep* newspaper sometime, eh? This sort of *beep* is constantly ongoing all over the world, whether it be in Myanmar, Syria, former Yugoslavia, or any variety of African nations. The only difference is that - like another poster observed - Rambo doesn't show up at the end and juice the bad guys with ma deuce.
It's happening in Syria right now according to the news..

In Syria is nothing, don't believe everything CNN pukes out
A situation like this is going on in Democratic Republic of the Congo, since 1996 the country is in Civil War, people get killed, women are raped, children are either killed or abducted (to be used as soldiers)
It's interesting that the world and of course the mainstream media ignores this, you rarely hear about what is going on there, i guess because Congo has no oil or other valuable items, otherwise, the Bully of the World, aka USA would've stomped in there ;)
Africa's full of resources. Diamonds for one. Oil . Cobalt.
I'm surethe US could drum up a "here to help" story ,and go do ...
its still happening in Syria :(

Start with John Pilger - Burma - Land of Fear, then work your way to the rest of the world.
"where we're going we don't need roads..."
John Pilger is an apologetic communist who praised the Shining Path terrorists in Peru.
That said in answer to the original question, yes Sly depicted it entirely correctly and the BBC News footage at the start was genuine and bang on. Thankfully the situation in Burma seems to be improving lately, I don't think you can entirely put that down to this film but I'm sure it helped
With the human race being what it is? Hell yes. Who knows what's going on in the dark corners of this world. Like Max Von Sydow's line about documentaries on the Nazi's, "and the puzzled intellectuals asking 'how could this happen?' The real question is given what human beings are, why doesn't it happen more often?"
shareThe world is a *beep* place. People are bad...
"The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones."
I actually think you are serious. How could you not notice these people were Asian and not African?
Get on the scale son! Get off the scale.
This film represents but a sliver of the grand scale atrocities being committed on this planet every day. Media does not talk about it. So many more millions of people are raped and murdered and enslaved than as ever went down with the Nazis or the even more atrocities that went down in Russia that are also never mentioned again.
