Media 2 ; YouTube clip



It's shocking the number of information you can get when there are hidden cameras or recorders. In this video, that's exactly what happens. This video is about the war that happened in Sri Lanka. The video and the story are connected because the themes are similar. The theme is that people don't act like humans when they're in war. War dehumanizes them. In the Sniper, one of the snipers kills the other sniper, and he later realizes that it's his brother. The video also follows this concept. Although they both talk different languages, they are all "brothers" figuratively.

This is first time evidence like this has been released. It was caught on video, on a phone and it was smuggled out. In this video, the Sri Lankan Army attacks poor innocent Tamil civilians. We don't know why but I think it's because they see every Tamil as a LTTE member and so they take all their anger out on innocent Tamils. Also, they explain how 200,000 Tamils are in camps. The video also talks about how the press wants press freedom. This video is another perfect example of actions done without thinking. The Sri Lankan army didn't think about the lives of Tamils. Tamils might not be their blood brothers but they are brothers, figuratively. The treatment Tamils receive is sometimes worse than a dog is treated. They're stepped on and, like in the video, shot. Would you do something like that to your brother, your friend? Even dogs aren't treated like that. Sri Lanka has to stop abusing Tamils because they're what makes Sri Lanka what it is. Without one of the two groups,Sri Lanka won't be the same.
