I went to a Catholic high school and in going there, I became accustomed to hearing one-sided arguments on many of society's pressing issues. When they announced that there would be a 'Pro-life' assembly I assumed that it would be more of the Catholic church telling girls what they should and shouldn't do to their own bodies. However, this time I was wrong. We screened a documentary called 'The Human Experience.' The question this documentary raises is: Have we forgotten what it means to be human? The film is about two brothers that travel to different parts of the world and try to understand the struggles of others. The result is an awesome film that connects people of different social, political, economical backgrounds by uniting us all as human.
Yes, it is a 'Pro-life' film...but it is a different approach and I argue that it is a pro-human film. It does not take sides in any issue; it simply connects humans that are all living in a changing world that has complex ideas about society.
Here is the film's website:
