I think it speaks to those who may be desensitized to seeing bodies of color blown up by landmines or mulilated by schrapnel, by providing a likeness that is closer to home for the proclaimed-majority in the West. I definitely felt it was a commentary on genocide, clothed in a Euro case of racial profiling (The abuse of the Gingers might be reflecting on the abuse of the Irish, who were even labeled 'Black' at one time, believe it or not). The commentary below, is a little less fragmented and shares my impression of the vid, and how it relates to the violation of human rights the West commits in a business-as-usual fashion: I left the below comment InnyVinny's spot (and hit enter without thinking-then when I finally hit submit on-purpose I realized the pre-typo fix version had already posted). This vid was made without it's point needing to be sub-titled, or announced at the end to assist us in 'getting the point'. Some have said this vid was made without a point. It is truly revolutionary, as opposed to the buzz generating pseudo-depth media we've been subjected to far too often. In this case it is actually necessary to the point. I am not however, in disagreement with the graphic nature of the imagery in this video. It is as real as the horrors, our Eastern siblings have faced, regardless of age. I wouldn't recommend viewing it with a child under the age of 13 in room, as even with explanation, the developing minds in that age bracket could experience some degree of trauma. The video posted below is beyond graphic.
