I'm beginning to think this is all just a Kobayashi Maru.

The most pathetic person in the world is someone with sight but refuses to see.
Inspired by Helen Keller and her famous quote on vision.

When William Ernest Henley was 16 his left leg was amputated due to tuberculosis... even as he fought successfully to save his right leg.
Several years later, in 1875, he wrote Invictus (Latin for unconquered).
"Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed."

Bloodied but unbowed.
In 2020 Minneapolis protested the murder of George Floyd and were met with rubber bullets and tear gas.
Now protesters are simply executed.
We stand with Minneapolis... still and forever unbowed.

It Was Just an Accident is a film inspired by Jafar Panahi’s time in prison for speaking out against the Iranian government.
“I sensed that I had to do something about the people who were still inside.”
Should Panaji return to Iran he will face another year in prison.
