I'm not a big fan of news or current affairs. I'm more of a man who likes to see what is really important in life. I recently saw a fantastic movie that shattered my emotions. Blindsight. A blind man who reaches the peak of Everest. That in itself and in its entirety is one hell of an acheivement. Erik Weihenmayer after his accomplishments, turns his attentions to the blind people of Tibet, who are seen as evil in thier country. Blindness is seen as punishment for a previous life, so they are abused and mocked. Honestly, i have nothing more to say, you really need to see this movie, its a fantastic watch. Here is the trailer:
You can watch the full 108 minute Documentary HERE.
Also, i have another experience to share with you. I recently discovere the Albino people of Tanzinia and more specifically, the Albino United Football Club (Soccer).
In Tanzania, where albinos are murdered and their body parts used for 'magic' potions, a brave group of albinos are using soccer to spread the message that they too are members of society.
I remember hearing about albinos in Africa a while ago and their problems. It was really presented as a hopeless problem to me and I'm glad to see there's something positive helping these people.
