From Berkeley to Alaska

The dream comes true

20 julio 2010

Cinema is open: 10$. Darfur (Sudan) is waiting

Money makes the world go around, but you can spend 10 dollars in a good movie, don´t you think so?That is what i´m goin´ to do this afternoon in Berkeley. After my classes, i have to do a writing about the documentary we have been watching today: "Lost boys of Sudan". It´s been really interesting. You know, that kind of young boys being displaced of their country because of a war. Behind the curtains of a war (of all wars indeed), there are always stories, families, people, dreams. People waitin´ or fighting for a better future for them and for their families too.
And there is USA, the American dream and all that stuff. Don´t you remember the other day when i show you the guy talkin´about the american dream? It doesnt exist at all, yeah.
These lost boys from Sudan didn´t know it before taking the plane to the States. They thought that everything was gonna be incredible, awesome and above all EASY. But it is not easy at all being a black man from Sudan in Houston, NYC, Texas, Arizona. Who cares about the war in Sudan? Nobody. Who wants to know what is goin´on in those countries outside my private world? Nobody. That is the reality, i told you many times.
But is good to see it (that idea, i mean) in an interesting movie like this, "Lost boys of Sudan." If you can buy it or borrow from somebody or ask someone, Just DO IT. It´s a worth seeing documentary.

You can take a look at this web if you want to know more about the film. And there is Wikipedia too (jajajajaj) I´m not a Wikipedia follower, but sometimes it helps a little bit.

That is the SFMOMA

Ande below, you have the Larry Flint Club in San Francisco. The story of that man is really incredible. Don´t you remember the movie about his life and his porn-magazine Hustler? It was a story of freedom speech and civil rights in the USA. Interesting thing even nowadays. Cheers for the great Larry¡¡¡
