All We Learn Is That We Do Not Learn
17 November 2020
In a small village in Pakistan in 1979, Kiron Ker watches as her son is recruited by Muslim fundamentalists. Sikhs are entering the area on pilgrimage, and their religion offends the locals. She thinks back to 1947, when British India was being split into Muslim and Hindu nations.

Do we ever learn from history? Sabiha Sumar's movie says we do not. I reluctantly agree. It's not just current events. I recall during the first Iraqi War, I was at a party, when some one announced The government would not lie to us!" I turned at him and snapped "And where were you during Viet Nam?" "I wasn't born yet."
