it was astonishing when the president of that country was himself interviewed as saying that even he did not know where to sleep that night when the catastrophe occurred.such was the level of insecurity among the people.
after hearing and reading about such a catastrophe i do wonder at times weather its a good thing to make movies out of them?....i mean if they are meant for promoting funds then its absolutely understood.but films and ads made to gain good trp ratings(in case of small screen) ,by 'playing' with the emotions definately does not help the cause..
i completely support those firms or n.g.o's which have the sole purpose of reaching out to the victims ...in such case advertising for help is truely understood..but using this catastrophe to score points over other firm...is extremely inhuman.....
i HOPE tat HAITI case would be different with this respect ...i HOPE that developed nations and u.n. would do their best to reach out to the haiti victims....literally......
ya i do agree that such disasters are not used for selfish gains but i would also like to say that television and movies are a very strong form of public media. if a movie a actually made on earthquakes it will atleast make the masses more aware of the hardships faced by the victims in such situations . so in a way that definately helps
