Unfortunately, I have not yet figured out how to copy a link in a less clunky way than this...but I wanted to share this link. I got to see it over the weekend. It is a film made by John O'Keefe at Creighton University. The subject of his film is his recent trip to the Congo where he documented the desperate need that people have who live there for clean water, medical care and food. War and extreme poverty have swept through and wiped out millions of people there in recent years.
Corporations that make parts for our cell phones negotiate with the corrupt government and take from the land while not returning anything to the people. I don't think anyone could watch this and not be moved by the subject matter. Still, it seems that the world has little awareness of its inability to see the suffering there.
