When I first watched this video, before doing any of my research, I was completely stunned. Looking at the horrifying pictures, seeing the agony that all of those people have been going through for the last few years really hit me hard. As I watched the video, I had realized new things that I didn’t know before. I knew bits and pieces about Darfur, but never the full effect of the genocide. I thought I knew a lot more about Darfur, but I was clearly proven wrong after watching the video. The injuries, the living conditions, all the people who were fighting for their lives, it really made me appreciate everything I have right now.
After watching the video again after doing my research, my view on it really hadn’t changed. Yes, I now know more about what was going on there, but the video just made it complete reality. I had been reading about what’s going on, and this video showed me. My own two eyes, watching these people, with their eyes. Their eyes filled with pain and sorrow, fear and defeat. Almost every single person in this video looked like they had already given up, but in this type of situation, you can’t give up. All these people had lost the hope in their eyes. They lost the fight, the drive, and the vengeance. That’s what truly surprised me when watching the clip. I knew to expect some victims who had just given up completely, but I still hoped for some to battle until the end.
