Question

Think of a film that has had a strong or profound effect on you in some important way. Share the film, and describe how it affected you and why.

Answer 1

Answer: Blood diamond

Explanation:

This film is set in Sierra Leone, a country that belongs to the African continent. While the civil war takes place, two people embark on a dangerous adventure to find a very valuable stone.

This movie touched me in a very strong way because of how the abuse occurred to the families of that place. It is no surprise to many that wars are taking place in various countries of the African continent due to the precious stones in that place. It was very sad to see how the children were separated from their families to make them violent warriors.

It is a situation where I try to put myself in the shoes of many of these families, the pain of being separated and being used for negative purposes is something I would not like to experience. The pain that families feel when they know that at any moment their existence can end, being used as slaves and not having the opportunity to say anything is something that hurts.

This movie allows us to see parts of Africa that we often ignore. A terrible war is being waged in many parts of this continent for certain groups to feed their wealth and their evil.
