channels of rage

The film channels of rage seems like it will be extremely interesting and to get a perspective from I guess more relevant or less historical viewpoint is going to be something new. All the events we have learned about in class will probably just sort of come together and are leading up to now where there are still extreme issues with conflict. The film seems to have been shown at many festivals and received quite a few rewards according to the marketing website for it, which was Ruth Disken. It is amazing to learn how the rappers are able to put their own perspective on the issues in the Middle East and the conflict while using music as a messenger. I also find it incredible how such dedication was put into the film to have it span a three year period. It is interesting how much music can have an influence when used as a catalyst for working towards some kind of resolution but alone will need help from people to want to change. I like how in our class we are seeing all types of perspective of the conflict and able to see so many differing sides. The video conference was also extremely interesting and enjoyable. After reading an article on line how Mr. Tamari’s house had been destroyed sounded devastating, but then to actually see the person that this has happened to and to her his perspective n issues is quite extraordinary. I feel like this documentary will be extremely relatable and will show a different perspective on the current conflict.
