I used to work with lone homeless women - and the way they were viewed, spoken to and about, and the way they were treated was reprehensible. Well done in bringing out the fact that they feel just like us, and we are not superior - rather just the opposite.

This is what should be done By one who is skilled in goodness, And who knows the path of peace: Let them be able and upright...
The difficulty in such situations is often being able. Being a good enough social psychologist, or lawyer, or salesperson to make a good change, rather than intervening clumsily and inflaming the situation.

So I know what I should do, and I hope I would have good intentions. It was heartwarming to see the first man intervene effectively. But often the practical mechanics of the intervention are where the difficulties lie, and are what prevent more people from getting involved.

And let us try to have good will for all those concerned.

Great little film. Inspires you with some faith in the human race, doesn't it?

We are not so indifferent and apathetic after all, at least when the suffering and injustice are right in front of us.
