I watched this movie the other week and It really got me thinking. About how things were in the past and how things are now... And in some ways life has changed drastically, yet in others nothing has seemed to sinch a bit to any progressive state.
This movie "The Color of Freedom" is a true story, told by Nelson Mendela's prison guard. Now if no one knows who this man is I can attempt a brief description of what I understand. He was an activist for freedom in South Africa, he wanted whites and blacks to live in harmony together. He was a strong leader, but he believed in peace and not violence. I admire this man.. This story was just amazing to me. You see the prison guard was of course a white man, and he started to befriend Mendela while he was watching after his section of the jail. He got in trouble for Mendela just to do little things for him.. like give a chocolate to his wife for him... This showed how some peope no matter how tough they seem, they can show compassion too... And he didn't care that other people thought his friendship with Mendela was wrong... because he knew it was right. And really, that is all that matters in the end... It is your decision to make the move... It is your life.. Live it with compassion.
