DOCUMENTARY FILM FESTIVAL-2016

ANN AND I ARE VOLUNTEERING AT THE FESTIVAL THIS YEAR. I AM AN USHER. I WAS ABLE TO WATCH A MOVIE: THE HEART OF THE NUBA. NUBA IS ACTUALLY A MOUNTAIN RANGE IN CENTRAL SUDAN. THE FILM WAS ABOUT A DOCTOR WHO RUNS A HOSPITAL THERE. HE IS THE ONLY DOCTOR.  HE HAS SOME NURSES FOR ASSISTANTS. AT TIMES HE TREATS 400 PEOPLE PER DAY. HE IS THE ONLY SURGEON. THE NUBA PEOPLE COME UNDER AIR ATTACK FROM THE GOVERNMENT. THE PRESIDENT, OR KING, OR WHATEVER THE HELL HE IS, BOMBS HIS OWN PEOPLE. THE KICKER IS, FOR NO GOOD REASON. HE IS REPORTED EVERY YEAR TO THE WORLD CRIME TRIBUNAL, AND THE U.N., FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. BUT NO ONE EVER DOES ANYTHING. THE NUBA PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE MUCH CLOUT. THEY SUFFER HORRIBLY, WHILE JUST TRYING TO EKE OUT AN EXISTENCE. THIS JUST GOES ON, AND ON, AND ON, AND ON, AND ON.THE ENTIRE WORLD CANNOT GET ALL THE KINGS MEN TO STOP. A COLOSSAL FAILURE OF THE HEART.
