GOD NO SAY SO
God is the backdrop, not the centerpiece, for this film about a flourish of humanity in the wake of evil disaster in West Africa.
Tens of thousands of hands were chopped off during the 11 year war, to be sent to the president of Sierra Leone. "The hand you voted with for the civilian government," rebels would say, "you will never vote with again." Four thousand people have survived the crude amputations.
In a crux moment, a baker maimed during the conflict still feels unsettled and cannot find peace within himself. With the camera characteristically close, he is asked if he would seek revenge against the man who did this to him. He reflects; then says, "Me? God no say so."
While filming, the warlord elected president Charles Taylor literally flew over in a helicopter on his way to jail in Freetown, which was terrifying for everyone being filmed at the time. His trial at The Hague should end this Fall, with sentencing perhaps in 2010.
God No Say So only begins with victims' stories. It finds the uplifting spirit of the people of Sierra Leone and the pathos, but it doesn’t pursue the questions of why and what are rotten in the world: it leaves us for the philosophical world reordering.
