Today I propose a day of movies. A special day to approach, or at least try, to know reality, daily life in Kabul , from a different angle than usual.

For Afghanistan to Western eyes is just a place where there is civil war. There is a foreign intervention. There is a conflict that appears to be resolved.

But behind all these "No", there is also a daily life, daily life. To do so, to show it, Alberto Arce has produced an interesting documentary "Daily Life in Kabul" , sponsored by the Institut Catala International per la Pau, divided in eight innings.

I

seen the complete series and I guarantee that no waste. If it was once very skeptical believe the reason for our presence in Afgnistán, to believe the official government versions and the accompanying media, now or tell them. So advise your "vision." No hurry.

As all videos are licensed under Creative Commons, we enjoy a movie session without fear of being "imprisoned".

Then I leave the linked episodes and a brief synopsis, but the links have a more complete form:

Park Cinema: a cinema in Kabul. Before filled, now empty. From the ravages give good account of the projectionist who pampers his "prehistoric" team. The manager, however, not interested in the film at all. Do not understand why the mayor of Kabul still remains open, if it were not a rich American woman gave money for it. concludes "Foreigners, foreigners always" .

Embedded : Journey to a mine near Kabul, the second largest copper mine in the world. The excuse to travel is showcasing the work of Afghan security forces. The hidden agenda: to see the mine.

The myth of the cave : This is mine, mine Aynak, there are some caves that were the basis of Al-Qaeda. In this mine employed between 2000 and 3000 Chinese . Ore reserves amount to 240 million tonnes. The Chinese consortium pays a fee of $ 800 million operating concepts. This mine cave was a refuge for Ali Al Bahlul, Guantanamo now serving a life sentence.

The volunteer and the general : General Sajan think the military solution is no solution that will improve the lives of Afghans. The aid worker said that the presence of foreign troops is not to focus the safety of Afghans, but the international community.

Checkpoint Kabul: A mobile checkpoint, craftsman, nothing to do with checkpoints the Israeli army, for instance.

Helmand Camp

: this place is inhabited by 5000 fleeing Afghan Taliban to take refuge in Kabul. Here are without Taliban, but a life unclean.

Phantom Pain: It is said of a person feels a constant pain, real and true by the member amputee. This is what happens in hospitals Kabul where most activity is the amputation of limbs for victims of the war. The only place a clean, an oasis of cleanliness "in the city considered the most dusty world.

Kabul Adiction : Again, there are places and space for addicts, about 700,000 around Afgnistán. Without help, without treatment, in total exclusion, glued and peresguidos by police.

Dust storm in Kabul : From the air, Afghanistan is a great wilderness and the panorama of the country is so dark as dust and sand storm that darkens Kabul.

I've been watching with patience, all episodes, and the soul I was wrinkled. Today

precisely the newspaper El Pais published a review annual report "United Nations Mission in Afghanistan" , startling figures: year 2010 has been the most deadly for Afghan civilians : 2,777 dead, an increase of 15% compared to 2009 . The latest outrage was the killing of nine Afghan children , last week, during an Allied attack, which caused a huge rejection throughout the country against international troops.

If we add an incompetent and corrupt Karzai , and some Taliban leaders with trying to negotiate and to respond strongly negotiation will only "with a timetable closed foreign troop withdrawal" , there is little room for optimism.

me if this issue causes me great despair, I fail to imagine how they must feel the Afghans.

ELECTRA / Chrysothemis

The classics we illustrate, explain, help us to think. And we can always find a compromise between their lines.

Classics has always fascinated me the story of Electra, portrayed by Euripides and Sophocles (repeated by many others, sometimes with great fortune), daughter of King Agamemnon of Mycenae and Clytemnestra. During the time that Agamemnon was fighting in the Trojan War, Clytemnestra Aegisthus began a relationship with that, the return of the king, was resolved with his assassination at the hands of his wife.
Chrysothemis is a daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, Electra's sister thus. Both sisters know that their mother who has killed his father, both expect, but with a different degree of momentum, Orestes, the brother who must avenge his father, but the attitude of the two is completely different. Exemplify, to a certain extent, the two different attitudes we can take against injustice. Electra

symbolizes anger, excessive anger, the struggle to change things:

"What well-born woman could bear the father's misfortune, shameless endure growing, day after day without seeing an end? (...) Every day in my house I pass by the two murderers ungodly my dear father was killed. "

Chrysothemis, however, confronts his sister for her attitude that she identifies with a fit of madness.

"What are you saying, sister around? Are you still with your fantasies about resgreso of our brother?" Have not you learned yet, so many years, to resign? "

resignation is certainly the word that best defines Chrysothemis. Faced with the bravado of Electra, the trial and the patience of her sister

"I prefer, when the winds are against me, sailing with the sails furled, without vain boasting of threats can not be fulfilled. I know that your behavior is correct and that is more just do what you do but if you want to live in freedom, should obey the powers that be "

A Everybody knows that these words define the actions of many, very many, and would ethical thinking even with the shades you want to respond to a sensible attitude at a time when you can not do otherwise. Listen to what she complains to her sister Electra:

"No Speak for yourself, Chrysothemis, in your mouth is talking about your mother. "

There is no greater contempt by the mouth of the measured talk tyrants. And still Electra:

" You have to choose, sister can not be wise and just at a time. If you just you have to suffer, if you choose to be prudent betray the memory of your blood. What I earn I can leave my sorrows? Do I treat you better? I'm not interested. My tears are bothering them. (...) You, however, do not fool yourself, like you give to those who murdered your father "

After a dialogue full of threats Chrysothemis asks his sister:

" You do not mind losing what you have? " Let

be partial and leave it there. The work continues and should be a joy to see represented. But not reading it recognize (we recognize) Electras or Chrysothemis, one or the other, sometimes alternately one or the other.

confess something: Electra, always the same, just getting a little heavy, as surely we all feel ourselves sometimes so much to defend an idea. But my admiration is for her, for the heavy, because it is not sold.
