Vittorio Arrigoni, Staying Human

Some people risk their lives for strangers because they see these strangers as fellow human beings. They follow their conscience and sense of humanity to fight with others for justice, freedom, and equality.
Vittorio Arrigoni gave his life for Palestinians. He left his comfortable life in Italy to join Palestinians in their fight for freedom and justice, and despite difficulties and obstacles he faced , he kept going on till he was killed for what he believed in. It is tragic when the world loses someone like him. He was a hero, and a hero's death is painful.

This is a film about him made before his death. I watched it today, and thought of sharing it here.
