Great Film: Sometimes in April
Incredibly powerful and breathtaking
This is not an easy movie to watch, but I urge everyone to see it. I
was a struggle not to cry; so I held my breath each time because I knew
the minute I started crying, I would not be able to watch the entire
movie.
The movie not only points out the evil people can inflict on each
other, it also depicts how silence and avarice can lead to a horrific
end.
When people discuss genocide, they go back to Hitler, Pol Pot, etc -
this movie goes to show that we still do not care enough about our
fellow humans to take care of them and protect them.
There are several ironies in this movie - one of which was the Olympic
games. People worldwide were tuned into the Olympics and keeping tabs
of the events at the same time others were being butchered.
In 100 days, almost a million people were murdered. It's unimaginable
how a tragedy on this scale remains unknown - even scarier is this is
proof that it can and possibly will happen again.
