Eritrea's Struggle to Survive is the result of unprecedented access that offers a rare look inside the reclusive nation of Eritrea. It's a place that many have never heard of, yet which offers stunning beauty, geographical and ethnic diversity - and an indomitable spirit. This is the first full-length High Definition documentary ever filmed in the newly created state - it's the story of saving unique Art Deco architecture, a mid-century steam train - and also the more urgent attempt to preserve the health of its children through its education system and network of teachers. It's also the story of the longest successful guerrilla war in history - a three decade underground struggle that created an underground government-in-waiting. And when those fighters won independence, we see the remarkable result: health and education systems created in tandem that work together, and now which are set on preserving the future of its school children, just like it has set out to preserve its culture. Beautifully filmed, enjoyable to watch, Eritrea's Struggle to Survive will take you on a journey to the most beautiful place you've never been to.

1. U.N. = BULLSHIT
2. SLAVE EMPIRES PREACHING "LIBERTY" & TRADING ON ERITREAN BLOOD. "From the point of view of justice, the opinions of the Eritrean people must receive consideration. Nevertheless, the strategic interests of the US in the Red Sea Basin and considerations of security and world peace make it necessary that Eritrea be linked with our ally, Ethiopia". John F. Dulles US State Secretary In Dec. 2,1950, the UN voted 46 to 10 to federate Eritrea with Ethiopia, against Eritreans demand for independence.
3. "By logic, the Nation of Eritrea should not exist. The secessionist province's independence fighters ought never to have defeated Ethiopia in their 30-year-long struggle. They were outmanned, outgunned, abandoned or betrayed by every ally; their cause was hopeless. They won by force of character, a unity and determination so steely not all the modern armaments, super power support or economic superiority of Ethiopia withstand it". TIME
4. A neglected society. Doesn't mean what said in documentary is right.
5. Thanks for researchers to expose at least such segregation of race imposed by fascists in Eritrea such issue is purposely hidden from the public ears and eyes by both Eritrean and Ethipian present leaders even when the documents are still available all over in Europe, Ethiopia and Eritrea. When Ethiopians talk about that oppression Tigreans suffered the Tigrean hate it to listen or acknowledge it anything against fascists,because for Tigreans Mussolini is god messenger.
