Why do people have children?

The film fully presents the living conditions of children in poverty-stricken areas: lack of food and clothing, parents are also struggling on the poverty line, and they are not even able to provide their children with food and clothing. Children are born one by one. As soon as girls reach sexual maturity, they are sold to others as wives, while boys struggle to make ends meet.

The 11-year-old sister died in childbirth and the boy stabbed his brother-in-law before being sentenced to five years in prison.

The mother expressed her sadness and helplessness, but continued her pregnancy.

The boy took his parents to court, demanding they no longer have children.

People watching the movie are annoying. But also very real.

Parents said in court: Grandparents have lived like this for generations. We are also exhausted, and we have not had a good life. What do you want us to do?

Yes, the ancestors have sold sexually mature girls to others for generations, and if the children are disobedient, they will be beaten to death. Children grow up on the streets of busy traffic, and it is fate to survive safely. If they don't survive well, they can't blame others, because everyone is like this.

Whether or not to have children is an unconscious behavior.

Today, young people are often asked: Are you planning to have children? When are you going to have kids?

Previously, such problems did not exist.

How can anyone not give birth? How can anyone plan to get married and have children, these two major life events? Reproduction seems to be a biological instinct.

Some time ago, I saw an interview with Melinda Gates about some poverty alleviation activities that the Gates Foundation has done in Africa. One of the services with the most resistance is the provision of contraceptives.

Contraception is the most effective poverty alleviation tool.

Melinda Gates said: "Only women who plan to have children can provide a better life for their children."

The transition from an unconscious to a conscious act of childbirth is a very modern thing.

Most things in life are unconscious, right? Conventional customs, codes of conduct, few people question them.

The little boy in the film actually went to court to file a lawsuit, which is a great awakening. He made his claim in such a modern way. But how does his wish come true?

I'm afraid we can only wait for the economy to develop.

The poorer you are, the poorer you are, and the poorer you are. How to break this vicious circle?

Capernaum quotes

  • Zain: I want to make a complaint against my parents. I'd want adults to listen to me. I want adults who can't raise kids not to have any. What will I remember? Violence, insults or beatings, hit with chains, pipes, or a belt? The kindest words I heard were get out son of a whore! Bug off, piece of garbage! Life is a pile of shit. Not worth more than my shoe. I live in hell here. I burn like rotting meat. Life is a bitch.I thought we'd become good people, loved by all. But God doesn't want that for us. He'd rather we be washrags for others. The child you're carrying will be like I am.

  • Zain: Life is the biggest injustice.
