In the film of Dan
Eldon that his sister made for him to remember how good of journalist he was.
When he went to Somalia and he went through a lot of tragic situations trying
to interview and see how some of the people lived and some of the things that
their everyday life was like some of the people that lived there got killed for
no reason they were getting treated bad and also the way that they carried
themselves. Some of the people that were also there fighting with each other
and there was actually small children also in the fights with guns and killing
people. Some of the things that were horrifying to see was the fact that’s
their life they have to be there to see all these people go through these
things. Dan Eldon was a journalist that decided to go to Somalia to
take pictures of how they lived and to
actually let people know that there are suffering that there way of life wasn’t good . They were
very poor people trying to do anything that they can to actually live and do
what they got to do.
Some of the people
that actually went to through the hardest things there life was almost at risk
there was heroes also the fact that they went to see these people almost die
because of some the things that
they did and how they went through fights, wars actually getting
close to these people taking pictures of
them. Some of these journalist got so close to
the people and didn’t make it back
because of the risk they put themselves in because of the parts
they and the things they decided to
take pictures of especially pictures that had to do with
shooting some of these people were angry because they didn’t want to be in those pictures and it didn’t end so
good because they were actually killing the journalist they didn’t want to have their pictures out there they hated
it.
My opinion on the
film that Amy Eldon put together for her brother Dan was a very powerful movie.
To the point that you can see what he actually was going through and see what was
there experience like to be in that kind
of situation . The way some of these
journalist were going through just to get a story was shocking one of the
journalist that was with Dan was Mohamed D.
he was in that current situation
when Dan passed away he know that doing that wasn’t good the fact that they
were so close to them some of them
faced scary moments taking one picture then the person they
took the picture of minutes later
passes away . Amy put all these things in
one film to show us how there life is to
get one story and how close they
were and also the fact that there life wasn’t easy because eat any
minute the person that could’ve died
wasn’t her but other people that
they were trying to take these pictures.
The way she chooses to find out what really happened to her brother to actually go back to
where he died to see what he went
through to ask around to see if
they knew anything interviewing people
such as Peter M, Corrine D, Jonathan,
Anthony , Martin B . Some of these people that went through a lot of the
things. One of these journalist that she interviewed was Martin B he was killed
by the Somalian Mob she was just with him couples days that he was trying to
take pictures and she then found out that he got killed by them he was close to
her also he was telling her all the things that was going on around but the
point was that he went through this and ended getting killed.
The power and the responsibilities
of what they were sent to do and all the things they were going through to get
the top story on how these people were living in these conditions and how they
were doing all these close up pictures some of these people that went and got
these pictures some of them got killed because of the risk they out there life
in and how they wanted to go up closer in some dangerous parts they were going
to. A lot of these people didn’t know what they were putting themselves in they
were there to take the pictures and make a story about these people that lived
there and actually getting to meet some and some of them were getting mad
because the people that were there didn’t like the fact that they went there to
see and take pictures of them and put it in their story. Some of the people that
were going through this passed away and some survived the horrifying
experiences that happened and that’s exactly what Amy Eldon wanted to show us
that what Dan liked taking pictures of those kind of things that he enjoyed.
