Choosing just one specific topic will be hard. Any of the topics that I choose will relate to another topic in some way. I want to do a movie focusing on children. Something that is not often seen. Maybe children involved in war. The readings by Appiah and Ramphele were inspirational. Their articles dealt about human rights, cosmopolitans and citizinship. Giving some of their personal experiances show how we should strive to be good , disciplined citizins who are patriotic. My subtopic will go against these values, highlighting the 'real' world that we live in.
The images that I will choose will definately include children. Children who have been neglected or abused. Children who are not treated fairly. Topics like racism and corruption are too common. If people see my movie and pictures of abused children, they would be inspired to watch.
Many people are sensitive towards children and babies. If I do this topic, I will evoke an emotional response from the audience and that is my goal. Growing up, I had a rough childhood and I turned to the wrong people and substances to make it easier. Although I had it bad, I know there are millions of people (specifically children) who lead far worse lives than I do and that is what inspires me to make a movie on that subtopic.
