Interview. (REFLECTION)

Hey guys,

Just yesterday did I have the opportunity to meet a human being that with so much pain and suffering within him, he can live on and cause others to change. When we first arrived at the building (Aaron and I) I was eager to meet Majour, I had gotten all of the equipment and I was ready to capture his voice and image. We got to his office and shook hands and made small talk but eventually his voice escalated and grew, it expanded into a gaping hole in the ground, spewing out with treasures and lost secrets. His memoirs were... powerful. I could not sit still, I wanted to burst into tears.

Everything Majour had to say was relevant in some way, either to society or to the situation that is going on in Sudan. He never seemed to break down or lose confidence in the way he talked but through some anecdotes he became very uneasy and began to stretch out his words. He evoked most of his pain through his body lenguage and gave nothing more than simple shrugs of his hands or a deep akward silence. "

"The UN is a tiger without teeth, its powerless," phrases like that made me shiver with the fear or truth since I can't see it because I have never lived the true horrors of torture and survival. He opened my eyes up to a world that either I chose to ignore or simply had a small window of in a newspaper article. Majour was sincerley a pleasure to meet and his full interview will be available soon. I don't know how, but I want to get it out.
