“Human beings are like one body. If one part of the body is in pain then the rest of the body will not feel comfortable.” —Sarwar Jan, poet/musician from Afghanistan, from the film Scared Sacred “Why is that the sacred turns into scared? And why do so many people in the name of what they’re calling sacred go and scare everybody else? or how come so many people who are scared run to what they are calling the sacred as some protection from the scary but they haven’t yet touched on what’s really sacred? they haven’t really found that attitude of yerah, of awe, that if we really had it we couldn’t possibly treat another person that way.” —David Zeller, from the film Scared Sacred “I am because you are, there is not space between human beings, and what I do to you I essentially do to myself. All of humanity is one, we are essentially all a part of the same family, essentially part of the same community, that there are no barriers between people which is quite powerful because I mean when you extrapolate it it says there is no class, there is no class division, there is no race division, there is no gender division.” —Lebo Mahile, from the film Fierce Light “When you are dehumanized, whether you like it or not, I am in the process, if I am dehumanizing you, am myself being dehumanized. What was so awful about apartheid was that ultimately it could make a child of God doubt that they were a child of God.”—Desmond Tutu, from the film Fierce Light Fierce Light trailer: youtu.be/AwqCqLAxvFs
