Let Me Tell Their Story

Social Awareness 2 July 2009 | Comments

While surfing around today, one of my friends shared this on facebook. This is the most viewed and shared short on the Film Festival : Green Unplugged.

This film was shot by Ferdinand Dimadura. In short it talks about how the lack of food and poverty has been effected by globalization. There are 10,000 people dying everyday due to hunger and malnutrition. This short film shows a forgotten portion of the society. The people who live on the refuse of men to survive. What is inspiring is the hope and spirituality that never left this people.

I really do not have much to say on it, because all i feel is sympathy and can only feel thankful for what I have in life. It amazes me how in our own life we worry so much about the trivial things when there are harder situations out there in the world.

    I love the part when the father "scolded" his daughter and told her to pray first before eating. That was depressing but inspiring at the same time. The question is, How can we help them?

    As the song writer sings, "How can someone's laughter brings me close to tears", it made me realize that the anxiety and worries I have is completely insignificant compared to sufferings of the people living in poverty. As the famous quote from Bob Pierce (founder of World Vision) goes, "Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God.", may we be moved and respond with compassion.
