Hi everybody. Sorry to drop in like a rock from outer space. I just saw a documentary called "All In This Tea" on Sundance and feel strongly about it. I understand if you get Sundance you can probably find it on "In Demand" on your cable system.
I thought it was full of wonderful things but had to turn away whenever David Lee Hoffman was in view, behaving like the ultimate ugly American. He marches around China without a translator yelling at people. I think the guy should be taken to task for, yes, elitism, and for abusing people for whom courtesy is the first consideration in all human transactions.
If you'd like me to expand on this, just say so. I have the feeling many people here know about the film and about Hoffman, and perhaps would like to set me straight. Go for it.
Thanks.
Casey
