From a viewer’s point of view, I can agree with what the character Jack Daglish,
the cameraman, has said that the world can only say “how horrible it is” and yet, they
can still continue on with their lives. His line left an impact on me and made me question
the morality of everyone that speaks about aid and assistance, when in reality hypocrisy
lies behind those words. In fact, I was not aware that a genocide even happened in
Rwanda not until I watched the film. I can only express through words the sadness and
anger that I felt over the cruelty that took place. The characters experiences were
unimaginable. Their lives were at stake; it was the battle between life and death and
there is no other way around. It made me question myself as well, if that were to happen
in the Philippines, what can I do? What will I do? Am I only going to speak through
social media or take the action as what Paul Rusesabagina did? The characters act of
bravery, integrity, and love opened my eyes to the reality that you just cannot react, you
should act as well.
