Britain triumphs this day in this release at last. May your homecoming be everything you’d hoped and more, Binyam! You will inspire much desperately needed concern and attention on the many who yet experience the plight which you so heartlessly received!

Britain also triumphs with the Oscar picks of last night. I have been inspired by this film through three viewings….Here’s why:

“Slumdog Millionaire” Shines for Human Rights, Forgiveness and Art

The film which just won a staggering eight Oscars begins with scenes of torture: a person threatened, beaten, given extreme doses of shock and other vile treatment, made unconscious. The star of the movie is shown vividly during this scene: eyes eventually unseeing – phlegm and saliva dripping from the sides of his mouth. Imagine this kind of treatment and worse day after day for years as in GTMO, ABU G. at many US-approved and directed secret sites all over the world. Not to mention the treatment in the planes to these places. Inhumanity – missing people – lives and families destroyed/torture often leading to extra-judicial death.

Here in a movie of the year are crimes’ of cops and other “authorities” acted out graphically. Here is but a brief glimpse into our socially and nationally-approved crimes. Here in this movie – if we let ourselves – we can feel these acts of inhumanity in our gut and heart. These are scenes the whole world needs to see and decry.
