The human condition in the story is the innocent civilians
in Iraq that get caught between the wars. The story is about an Iraqi child who
is speaking Arabic and is telling the audience about life in Iraq. The child is
filmed from the shoulders up, so the viewer doesn’t know the child’s limbs have
been cut off. About half way through the video the child tells the audience that
one day he walked over a landmine and his legs were blown off, revealing his
distorted figure. The story is somewhat visually graphic, but at the same time intruding
because the child is telling the story and the view gets to see his perspective
on life and the war. I think this story has a broad audience appeal. The story
taps into sympathy emotion bring the viewer to what to learn more about the child speaking.
