You okay? Why did you come here?

You know, growing up... I had everything that kid can want, and... it's just me trying to say "thank you," I guess. Trying to make a difference. I know, I catch myself sometimes thinking, "Well done, Joe. You're really doing it. You're starring in your own oxfam ad." And then there's all this.

Last year in BosniaI I felt exactly the same way.

How was that?

Great, actually. Best stuff I've ever done. Cried every day. Strangely enough over here... not a tear.

I guess, I mean I guess you get numb to it.

No, no, it's worse than that. Anytime I saw a dead Bosnian woman, white woman, I thought... that could be my mum. Over here, they're just dead Africans. What a thing to say. We're all just selfish pieces of work in the end.

Shooting Dogs (2005)

#working on a full review of this film for one of my different blogs #but watching this scene in 2017 forced me to analyse and change how i view events around the world #yes it has a few flaws but i prefer it to hotel rwanda #especially since they filmed where it happened and hired rwadan actors and crew members #they had mental health professionals specialising in trauma on crew to help anyone affected by the scenes they were portraying #shooting dogs #shooting dogs 2005 #shooting dogs movie #film #hugh dancy #john hurt #rwanda genocide #ecole technique officielle
