I watched a movie called Two Strangers Who Meet Five Times. It's a British film by Marcus Markou. It tells the story of two men, seemingly very different from each other, who happen to meet five times over the course of several decades. Alistair and Samir meet five different times, but it is only when they meet as old men that they can finally put their prejudices aside and meet as friends. This film champions friendship and compassion over separation and distrust. We've met five times and we're both strangers every time, but maybe in the end we know it all. It was a very warm and fuzzy feeling, including the aftermath of the meeting. The film brought up the issue of racism. Once again, I thought about the importance of being kind to everyone and being careful how you treat people.
