The “film” of shame

A Russian news agency, TASS, writes that George Massouh, “a Syrian film director, says he would like to make a film about Russian officer Alexander Prokhorenko, who died the death of a hero in Syria this spring.”

No Syrian, worth of holding its nationality, can call a Russian officer who kicked the bucket while killing Syrian civilians “a hero”.

How much would this director be harmed if he were to be making an authentic film about Syrians who are being killed at the hands of Russian forces, the like of this director’s hero?

Does this director have in mind that his “hero” was on a touristic mission in Syria rather than a terroristic one?

Could he be thinking of the invitation such an officer and his colleagues received from the Assad “legitimate” regime?

Is it this “legitimacy” that has attracted our creative director?

The material for directing hundreds of thousands of documentary films about Syria and Syrians, about how Syrians are tortured and killed, is available and renewable every second.

The material about this “Russian hero” has to be concocted by the director and facts have to be twisted.

One would wonder why this director left the facts before his own eyes and chose to fabricate lies and to glorify someone who participated in killing Syrians.

One would wonder about the reasons that make a so-called Syrian put himself in such a shameful position.

When would this “Syrian” make a similar film about Putin or more likely Assad, his boss?

Material on these two dictators is available and does not require a lot of thinking. Infinite films can be made about their war crimes and brutality that will be down to earth without the need to resort to imagination.
