The name "Killing Forbidden Zone" makes people involuntarily think of scenes where corpses ran across the wild and blood flowed into rivers. However, this film did not take a truly bloody approach when it reflected the wild killing of Situ by Hutu in Rwanda in 1994. This is not a horror film. The bloody scimitars in the hands of a group of young Hutu people hacked to death like ribs under the bushes, and the corpses piled up on the street are enough to explain the problem. However, the bloodshed recorded by the film with almost calm language is not the whole of the film "Killing Forbidden Zone". When this "genocide" fact happened, the attitude of the UN peacekeeping forces and international organizations on this matter The mental shock of the people involved in the incident is the soul of this movie.
The UN peacekeeping force is called "peacekeeping", but it is useless in the face of this kind of real ethnic conflict. Due to the numerous provisions of the United Nations Convention, as long as the Rwandans do not open fire on them, the area will remain "peaceful". The Rwandans are certainly not stupid enough to open fire with the peacekeeping troops stationed in the school with live ammunition. They just used a long machete to kill compatriots of different races from their own. The elementary school where the peacekeeping forces are stationed has become the only safe place in the local area. Thousands of refugees have poured in to fill the school. If it were not for the priest Christopher in the school who insisted on opening the iron door of the school, the leader of the peacekeeping force would not yet plan to grant asylum to the refugees in Rwanda. However, the situation is getting more and more tense. Although the peacekeeping forces have reported to their superiors to open fire on local violent elements, the UN headquarters still does not believe in the fact that the genocide is going on in Rwanda.
Most other white countries under the banner of "peace" also hold an attitude of watching the fire from the sidelines. The people in the school hope to support the troops and trucks that have finally come to France, but they are told that the trucks only pick up French citizens. In fact, as long as your skin is not black, the French will send you away safely. The refugees desperately tried to squeeze into the life-saving truck, but they were brutally beaten off by the white soldiers. Even the black husbands who were married to black and white and were not Rwandans were refused to get in the car, and they ended up disintegrating.
As long as the peacekeeping force stays in the elementary school for one more day, the thousands of refugees in the school can temporarily save their lives. What is terrible is that this peacekeeping force with only a few dozen troops finally received the order to withdraw. Before they left, the refugees who did not escape even jointly wrote a letter asking the peacekeeping forces to shoot them with guns, so that they would suffer less crime than being hacked to death. Knowing that blood was flowing here after they left, the peacekeeping troops could only leave with sophisticated equipment. Sure enough, after they left, the Hutu rushed into the school, and they didn't even let off an old, young woman and child.
The bloody incident dealt a big blow to the faith of the white teacher Joe and the priest Christopher who taught in the school. Facing the mountain of corpses and the virtual peacekeeping force, they deeply doubted the peace and God they had always believed in. Joe couldn't understand why he was so good with him a few days ago that the Hutu teenager turned into a bloody and cruel killer, while Chris Fogh, in the face of bloody facts, used the "Bible" he had believed in for a lifetime to be burned by refugees as fuel. Up. When the peacekeeping forces retreat, Joe and the priest can retreat safely with the troops. Joe is okay, but if the priest also chooses to leave, Christopher has fought for a lifetime of theological beliefs, established prestige among the Rwandan people, and either The humanitarian spirit that people with a conscience should possess will also disappear. At the critical moment of life and death, Joe followed the troops out of Rwanda with broken ideals, and the priest resolutely chose to stay for the sake of theology and morality. In the end, the priest saved a dozen Rwandan children who should have died at the expense of his own lives.
When Mary, who survived a disaster, kept running to survive, the spokesperson of the United Nations also responded to the incident in Rwanda at the press conference. They ignore the fact that Rwanda 8 massacred 1 million refugees in 100 days, and when faced with reporters' accusations, they would only use cunning diplomatic rhetoric to evasive. Seeing this, uncontrollable anger spontaneously grew. "Peace" is just a cover. In the face of genocide, the conscience of UN officials is not as good as that of a little priest...
In fact, the UN has a large number of well-equipped troops stationed in Rwanda. It is horrible to take a small action. The bloody incident can be avoided. Human lives are at stake, and it is not only the United Nations that actually kicked the ball at a critical moment, and was reluctant to act. In the face of such facts, how much room is there for "peace" to be believed? With this question, like Joe and the priest in the movie, I am also confused. The rules to be followed have passed numerous checkpoints, and the United Nations has confirmed that the "genocidal" nature of the Rwanda conflict has finally acted, and it will no longer be possible to save the lives of millions of refugees. I just learned today that it turns out that the United Nations also eats dry food.
