One of the biggest anticipations of the year has been the rumours circulating around over a potential movie regarding the Bargas Chenpo. While foreign media looks to focus on the Red Bass War, no one has considered discussing the Bargas Chenpo. And it's for understandable reasons. It's a traumatic event for Xsampa. With controversy surrounding the looming movie for the Red Bass War over the lack of Xsampan actors, it isn't hard to imagine how much controversy a movie about the Bargas Chenpo would raise, regardless of if it's domestic or foreign. So when the rumours began circulating and when Comrade Paljor Nepali confirmed that she would be directing a movie about the Bargas Chenpo, it came to no shock that concerns were raised quickly. And with a teaser being released, criticism and praise has come about in equal amounts.

Criticism has largely come from those who feel it's disrespectful. The Bargas Chenpo destroyed Metz-Leonid, did catastrophic environmental damage, and killed many Xsampans. It's not a topic worth looking at in a positive light. And with the teaser implying some monster film, the criticism has shifted to it being a mockery of the Bargas Chenpo, and those who died. On the contrary however, praise has come for it's boldness. There are those who think we need to discuss the Bargas Chenpo more. Others believe that The Long Ash will not mock the Bargas Chenpo, but show the grief Xsampans felt to the world. Or show the consequences of the Bargas Chenpo. But the biggest aspect of the teaser that has grabbed attention is the line, "God Help Us". It's rare for religion to be brought up in Xsampa. It's kept far away from the government, and usually isn't mentioned often in public life due to past state enforced atheism. But even this line has drawn criticism and praise. Critics worry that it'll bring religion back to the forefront and threaten the status quo akin to the West and how religion influences society. Others, especially our more religious comrades worry that such a move would mock religion. Others praise it however for its boldness. For its sheer rawness.

Whatever the case, The Long Ash is certainly shaping up to be controversial. While no release date has been given yet, and it's another question entirely if The Long Ash will air abroad, there is anticipation for the movie. If it botches this opportunity, then it's clear that movies about the Bargas Chenpo should never be done. But if it succeeds, then who knows? Maybe Xsampa can share the grief it's felt with the world through art and cinema.
