But it's crazy how powerful Film is. The age we live in, we can see images and videos from across the world in almost real time. Two days I saw a film of a girl in Iran being shot by the opposition fighters. I think they're called the Basji, they're hired by the government, wear plain clothes but have weapons and the right to basically oppose any opposition going on. Their task was to quell the recent uprisings of citizens in reaction to the election where Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won. Apparently this girl was protesting and was gunned down. One bullet to the heart. I saw the video and it was honestly the hardest thing to watch. Harder than 2 girls 1 cup, pain olympics, any thing I've ever seen. Cuz that shit dont happen like it does in the movies. It was crazy...I aint gonna post the video but below is a link to the story. Read and Learn about what's going on in this world. The crazy part about it all is that even though people are being killed they are still out there protesting. Still showing us films of their struggle via mobile phones, facebook, twitter (its still wack) Being threatened with death, imprisonment etc and they're still marching. Looking back at our 2000 Election, we kinda took the fact that our country was stolen from us kind of lightly. Little internet article here, book there, Michael Moore movie here and there. But these people are ready to die for their's. Respectable to say the least. We could learn something from them but then again we're American, our way or the high way...right?...Right
