Reflection Question #1 - How did watching this film affect you emotionally? Is there an image from the film that stands out for you that you would like to share?
While watching the film The Day My God Died, the kind of sex trafficking the woman dealt with was very harsh for me. It made me uncomfortable to know that many woman today are going through so many hardships. Yes, there was a scene that really tormented me. It was the scene where you saw the woman getting beat; it was so sad for me to see that. A man should never hit a woman or vice versa. It's inhumane. In the film, Anita of Nepal really struck me because even though she dealt with sex trafficking, she still wanted to help other people in her community. It impressed me that she spoke up and that now she's an activist working against trafficking. She turned her life around which is an important factor in life. This film was very emotional for me, but I'm glad that it taught me something. To learn about other things people are facing and to try to give a hand.
Very good observations of the film. They paint a very vivid picture of the images in the film, for someone who may not have watched it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with everything that you said, I also found it very hard to watch at times because it was so sad. I also do feel good at the same time because now I am more aware of the situation just like you.
