“They are shooting at a little girl alone In a car surrounded by corpses. Can you imagine that?”

This is the most devastating film I’ve ever seen. Around half way through one of the Red Crescent staff asks “They are shooting at a little girl alone In a car surrounded by corpses. Can you imagine that?“. I couldn’t previously, not really. I can now.

See this film. Particularly, if like me, you could see intellectually what was taking place but found yourself retreating from the horror of it. The manner in which the film cuts through the thicket of representations by presenting that horror through the relations of care which defines the work of the Red Crescent is extraordinarily powerful. I don’t feel the same after watching this film. A defence mechanism I only dimly sensed was operating feels like it has been obliterated this evening.
