The movie, "The Salt of the Earth" follows the life and work of Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado, who has spent forty years documenting deprived societies in hidden corners of the world.
As a girl that grew up in a wealthy area full of teenagers begging for the newest iPhone, what I saw in this movie shocked me. When I think of the world we live in today I tend to think that we have it all figured out. Famine, governmental induced killings, and torture-like manual labor are things of the past right?
… I wish.
Watching this movie was an experience. A horrifying, enlightening humbling and all too emotional experience.
But I'm still telling you… go watch it.
Because I know that you are or know of more iPhone 4 complainers out there.
--- and we need to use all of our devices (including iPhone 4's) to spread refugee awareness.
These scared, and deprived people are grains of salt on this earth. Just like you.
It's about time we notice them.
