The Andrew Show is a serie of videos issued since 2009 by the KKK in which two blond children about 9 and 10 years were talking about "their" views on issues related to race and religion to children of their age. The truth is that the videos can clearly notice how Andrew Pendergraft actually read some sort of sign or telepronter behind the camera.

Forrest Gump “ and Civil Rights in the USA

There are a lot of films which tell us about Civil Rights' History in United States but there's one film that highlights because of creativity to express the facts. The most highlighted themes, which we can analyze, are:

Love

-Forrest , in love with Jenny, defends her against different men with whom she went out, thinking

they were mistreating her, and he was right.

-Jenny had run away several times from Forrest, confused by her feelings. One day, Forrest dares to ask her to marry, but she believes it would be very risky because they could end their friendship of many years.

-That day, Jenny gets pregnant. The baby was Forest's. She couldn't stand being without Forrest and therefore, we believe that she carried away a bit of him with her.Years later, Forrest was telling the story of his life to an interested elderly woman on a bench. He was waiting for the bus because he received a letter from Jenny where she said that he visited her. Forrest was told that they had had a child and she had a serious illness that couldn't be cured. Days later, Jenny died and Forrest devoted his life to his child's education . In addition, he never abandoned Jenny, he would visit her in the cemetery to narrate his exploits.

Loyalty and bravery

In the Vietnam War , Forrest's Lt. was injured on the battlefield. Its principles say that he would rather die than live disabled. Despite its continuing insults to Forrest, he did not leave him alone and carried him with the rest of their companions who had been rescued. Although his legs were amputated, and he hated Forrest because of what happened, Forrest helped him how to live with it.

And finally, you will be able to appreciate our choice of funny and sad scenes:

The March on Washington

One day of August 1963, concretely 28, thousands of American people fought fiercely to get their long yearned Civil Rights.

This huge uprising was integrated by a lot of groups, mostly by black people. Imagine that you are a black person and are going to the march. Of course, you would be around 16 maybe 17 years old. You leave your home in Arizona (a very racist state at that time), with unknown people shouting, singing, dancing and making noise, on a bus or train. We're sure that you will have arrived at Washington DC a little sick, because thinking about conditions which black people had to live, buses wouldn't be very hygienic and comfortable. So you get there and then what do you do?

Obviously, we would have participated because we adore people who have the courage to face police, politics and the Army's power without any type of fear. If we had taken in part it, we had fought to get our freedom and rights too. Getting there, the first thing which we would have done it would be join other groups to make as much noise as possible. We've never heard any songs by Bob Dylan although we were listening “Only a Pawn in Their Game”, which is about Mississippi’s judicial racist system and it was sung on the march, and we believe that, from a musical point of view, it’s very bloody but if this worked to get Civil Right we’re not anyone to judge it. As everybody knows, Martin Luther King gave the most known speech, which is “I have a dream”. We don’t understand why it worked because if you remove the form that he pronounced, so emotional and self-confident, would it keep on being as special as we imagine?

We believe the speech '' I Have a Dream '' was a very important in the march, but, it is too long and it repeat a lot of things. When we saw it for the first time, we notice that it's very emotional and it transmits us many feelings which make us to feel in their shoes. Personally, we would have removed some parts so that it wouldn't be boring too.
