11

The short film, "Eleven," was well done, thought-provoking, and tragic. Like every American, I too was pissed off after 911. But unlike Samia, I did not take my anger and kill. How ironic that his hatred was so blinding that the victim of his hatred was not even a Muslim. When Samia decided to "fight terrorists" and start at the local mosque, he failed to realize that he himself had become a terrorist.
The narrator and journalist of the piece was searching for the truth regarding the first incident/hate crime. The common theme that runs throughout the film is, as Mahatma Gandhi once said, "an eye for an eye just makes two people blind." Anger and hatred harms the barer of these destructive emotions. "Eleven" is a cautionary tale of how man can destroy mankind.
