FILM
This film talk about the situation of some blac mans in Spain. They tell your life in this new country and the lot of dificulties ther are when you are a black man. I think this film is very good because you can see the opinon and the situation of this people and the people that sorround their.
I think the most impact idea is the life of this people, thei life is very poor and very unluky becase the orther people see with a bad face and talk about you, and say: fucking immigrant who wants us to get the job. And I think it is not correct, because these people live in a very extrem situation in their country or their continent, because there are a places where there are a lot of wars and a lot of poberty, and this black people only find a better live than the live in this country. In my opinion it is a selfish idea.
But in this video, also you can see a persons who worry for these people and help their, I think it is very good because you give a new oportunity in their live, a oportunity to be very happy in this live.
