It ignited the black community in the United States and even ignited the heart of Bales.
Racial discrimination is not only manifested in old American society, but also in the military.
Last year, Barrs saw a set of data. In 2005 alone, the U.S. military handled more than 800 complaints of racial or ethnic discrimination by service members. Active and retired officers in almost every department in the U.S.
Said that despite their efforts to eliminate the culture of racism and discrimination in the military, such things still happen from time to time and are difficult to change.
Bars had no choice but to remain silent and even began to accept his fate, thinking that his life would be slightly better after he was discharged from the army.
He knows that many things are already deeply ingrained.
but……
a month ago!
He heard Congressman Olson's "I Have a Dream" speech.
His gradually numb heart began to tremble, especially when he heard "If we don't stand up now, where will our children and our next generation be? Do we want them to live in this world full of doubts and colors?"
In the world! Why can’t we unite and resist!”
The blood deep in his heart was ignited, and he thought of his fiancée, their future children, and their children's future...
He watched the Oscars!
Especially after seeing Will Smith's roar at the Oscars, his mood became more and more exciting. Especially when he heard that Will Smith would come to film a movie with the Chinese director, he felt deep in his heart.
That trace of emotion was even more difficult to suppress.
He wants to resist!
He knew that complaining alone had no effect at all, and he had to expose the ugliness behind it all to the world.
Yin La*’s war is not over yet, and neither are the wars of these people.
……………………
Zhou Yang deeply understood the feeling of being in the arena and having no control over one's own actions.
Early morning.
Cool breeze blows.
He removed the camera stand, carried the camera, and followed Will Smith out of the dormitory under the cover of night, and then walked to another place...
The war has come to an end, but the haze of the war lingers in the hearts of everyone, not only those who lost, but also those who won.
Although the victor has the absolute advantage and dominance, every once in a while someone will be attacked inexplicably, injured or even killed for no reason.
Especially seeing those pairs of hateful eyes and those curses...
After all, they are humans, not robots.
Every day in Baghdad is a kind of psychological torture, and under this kind of torture, internal contradictions will inevitably arise. This contradiction is like a crack, getting deeper and deeper, and finally becomes insurmountable.
of the gap.
The camera captured footage of the scene.
"This road is called the Black Road... In 2003, a white officer put his knee on my neck here..."
Bales faced the camera, lowered his voice, and told his story.
Zhou Yang looked at the camera and found that the camera shot was so dark that he could barely distinguish the outline of Bals.
If you want to truly capture the whole picture of Bass, you must light it, but lighting it in this dark night is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing.
They walked along a stone road and then came to the door of a dormitory. Bars hesitated for a moment, took out the timetable and looked at it. Only when he saw that there was no one in the dormitory, he smiled.
Immediately afterwards, he led Zhou Yang and Will Smith to open the door of the dormitory...
"We are in the same army and do the same thing, but our treatment is completely different. For example...the towel Corporal Carey uses is this kind of pure cotton, but the towel I use is this kind of cloth. , even the brand and material of toothpaste are different, theirs is a full 5 cents more expensive than ours!"
"They can play with their mobile phones while on duty, but we are ordered not to bring anything with us..."
"..."
Bales introduced the situation in front of the camera. When the introduction was almost finished, Bales showed a smile: "Our interview cannot be discovered by those white leaders, otherwise, I will most likely be dragged away to warn those People will slap you at any time, or even curse you as a black slave..."
Bales seemed to be joking.
But Zhou Yang felt more and more like he was filming a documentary about discrimination...
After leaving the dormitory, Bales asked Will Smith and Zhou Yang to keep their voices down.
Under the night, the three of them lowered their heads. Zhou Yang took a camera and filmed the scene in another dormitory according to Bals's hint.
Waves of curses came from the other dormitory. Bars asked Zhou Yang and Will Smith to wait beside the dormitory for a long time before he stood up...
Then, he walked to another dormitory.
In another dormitory, several black guys had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Zhou Yang and the others coming in, they immediately started talking about their experiences. One of the black guys named David was very excited.
"At Christmas last year, they pulled me into the bathroom and beat me severely. This scar is what I just left..."
"We had no choice. We complained, but the leader is a white man. The white man asked the white man who bullied me to apologize..."
"Yes, I just apologized. They even questioned whether I hurt myself intentionally and then caused trouble!"
"..."
Because he was in the dormitory and there was no need to hide it, Zhou Yang gave the camera a warm light.
David spoke so hard that he burst into tears, his eyes were full of sadness, and he even kept wiping away tears.
When David finished saying this...
Another black guy's cell phone rang, and he seemed very scared when he picked up the phone...
"They called me..."
"Ah, I seem to have forgotten to turn off the bathroom faucet!"
"They let me pass!"
At Bals's signal, the black man took a photo of the text messages on his cell phone...
Then, under the camera, he turned around and left the dormitory.
Zhou Yang followed the black man, and when they came to another house, Bals stopped.
They did not follow, but immediately opened the door with the key, and then asked Zhou Yang to place the camera in a blind corner where no one was paying attention, and the direction of the camera was pointed at the gravel road not far away. .
"This is our darkroom. We can capture a lot of content that others don't know about..."
Bars said this quietly in front of the camera.
Through the lens, Zhou Yang only saw a row of white teeth biting up and down...
Just as Bals finished speaking, he suddenly heard a burst of curses and beatings coming from next door. Not long after, the cries of pain and curses finally stopped.
silence!
There was silence!
Zhou Yang felt that the black soldiers present even took out their guns, and anger kept emerging on their faces, but in the end they still endured under Bals' gaze.
not far away……
"Peng!"
There was an explosion.
Except for Zhou Yang and Will Smith, everyone else is already used to it.
"coming!"
More than ten minutes later.
Bars's voice suddenly broke the silence.
Then, Zhou Yang looked at the camera. Then, he found that the unlucky black man was stripped down to his underwear and then dragged to the gravel road. Several white soldiers seemed to be mocking and making fun of the man in front of the camera.
Unlucky guys, but it's a pity that because there is a certain distance and these white guys deliberately lowered their voices, they can't hear anything...
But what was captured under the camera made people extremely angry...
The guy was dragged for about a hundred meters and even kicked by someone. Then the white soldiers mocked him again and turned around to leave.
In the room, Zhou Yang seemed to vaguely hear the sound of bullets being loaded. He turned his head and saw David and others trembling with anger.
"This is evidence!"
"However, I have a lot of similar evidence, but it's of no use. No one can help us. I will give this evidence to you later. Can you help me cut it in?"
"We have been insulted, our lives have been trampled on, we have no dignity, and sometimes we feel like a dog..."
"We live in fear all the time. This fear does not come from the enemy, but from our own people!"
Bars took a deep breath, almost gritting his teeth.
Immediately afterwards, he stood up, and then left the house with Zhou Yang and others. Under the cover of night, they returned to the dormitory.
Not long after, the unlucky guy came back with scars all over his back. He couldn't hold back his emotions and burst into tears.
"I do not know what I did wrong……"
"I just forgot to turn off the faucet..."
"They think I violated the regulations!"
"They scolded me, my grandfather, my grandmother, my wife..."
The guy showed his scarred back and cried profusely.
The shocking wounds made everyone tremble with anger!
"Zade, did you record the recording of them scolding you?"
"It's recorded!"
Zhou Yang was a little dazed after hearing the conversation, and then looked up and down at this unlucky guy who only had one piece of underpants left.
But he saw that unlucky guy resolutely pulling open his underwear in front of the camera. Then, Zhou Yang stared at a very unsightly part.
Then, the black guy put his hand in.
Zhou Yang had never seen such a scene in his life. He watched in shock as a small voice recorder was taken out.
Immediately afterwards, the guy pressed the play button of the recorder under the camera.
Not long after...
He heard a series of squeaking sounds coming from the recorder.
Following the squeaking sound, everyone present heard a series of dirty curses.
Zhou Yang saw the black guys around him clenching their fists angrily. Several black guys couldn't help but pick up their guns and rush out.
However, he was still stopped by Baars.
"What we have to do is expose their crimes!"
"Kill them and you will only destroy yourself!"
"Mr. Zhou Yang, I still have the previous evidence and the processing report here. Please help me take another picture..."
