HUMAN POPULATION GROWTH

We've recently been studying the worlds population during eleanitza lessons; and we have also been doing activities related to that. 
Taking in count information we were given during the lessons the teacher told us to do a graph about the human population growth.

FILM ANALYSIS

we wrote a film analysis based on our work of Saudi-Arabian women. Even though this film isn't located in Arabia, it inform us about the discrimination women suffer in those countries.

PLOT SUMARY:

Waris Dirie escaped of a poor childhood in Somalia and became a model. Eventually, in a magazine interview, she told of being forced to do the ritual of female circumcision as a young girl( a brutal process) She became a United Nations spokeswoman against the practice.

HISTORICAL CONTEXT

The film isn't based on a specific period. It imform us about the female circumcision (all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons) and the first woman who talk about it.

THEMATIC ANALYSIS

As we told before the film is based on the life of Waris Dirie, an international supermodel who began life as a member of a nomadic tribe in Somalia.

To announce the truth:

As it is based in a real conflict, thanks to the film people is concerned about the brutal pain tha are suffering some asian and african women as they are forced to do the ritual of female circumcision.

Differences between poor and rich people

At first in the story, Waris was poor and people discriminated her.But once she became famous and well off we can see that the society was different with her.

Immigration:

Waris wants a better life so she migrates to the UK, but once her passport is expired they don't let her to travel as a model. Finally she achieve this with money; so it teach us that the biggest influence in the world we are living it is money.

CINEMATIC ANALYSIS

Desert Flower" tells an extraordinary story in an ordinary way. It has a compelling message and surrounds it with biopic scenes that appear to be brought in from a different kind of movie. The effect is rather unsettling.

CONCLUSION

this film was recomended to us by a friend who is really into this matter. We find the film a little bit hard but it is interesting to know about the cruelties that are happening against woman in other countries. So this is the perfect film to think about what should we do to solve this problems.
