Week3and4, "Eleven"

Wow, what can I say. This film is a powerful film that really made methink. As I began to see the film I didn't expect it to lead to thatextent. At first I thought it was going to be about how JoshuaWilliams accomplished his dream to be on the A-list and in the frontcover of the newspaper because he had written an awesome documentaryabout his finding, but I was absolutely shocked that he made the fromcover because he was murdered for being at the wrong place at thewrong time just trying to do his job as a reporter. He was sent tointerview people to get their opions on the murder and attempts ofmuslim believers, but he never stopped to think that he was going tobe put in the same situation as Malik Sheri. He was mistaken as amuslim like Malik Sheri.The name "Eleven" is referred to the group that Samaya Jones hadcreated to rid the world of terrorist threats and his first targetswere muslims. He named his group "Eleven" in memory of his father whowas killed in the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York. I foundit a bit disturbing because Samaya didnt think clearly and tookmatters into his own hands by using racial profiling to take get ridof terrorists. Just because a person is walking by a mosk, itdoesn't mean that the person is a muslim. In Joshua's case he wasonly doing his job, and was murdered for coming out of the mosk.Samaya's anger and rage against muslims reminded me about thesituation that muslims or people who looked middle eastern wereexperiencing after the attempts had happened on Sept. 11, 2001. Thesepeople were judged because of what other people had committed andwere not given a chance to let people know that not all muslims werealike. Joshua's dream did come true to make it on the frontcover, butit he made the front cover for being murdered and for being at thewrong place at the wrong time.
