Across the Universe

Across the universe is a film based on the 60's. The soudtrack and the plot are inspired by The Beatles's songs.
The film is about a British guy (Jude) who leaves his country to find his father in the USA. Once there, he falls in love with Lucy, a girl from a wealthy family who participates in the antiwar movement. At  that time the USA was going through the biggest wave of changes and revolutions in the XXth century and that affected Jude and his friends.
After working on this project I fell in love with the 60's, with its music, with its people...
 I like the idea of change and revolution. I feel proud of those people who decided to do something different, to fight against the war for the first time, claiming their rights and freedom... basically for being humans and create what we are now.

ACROSS THE UNIVERSE

                            ACROSS THE UNIVERSE





Honestly, I have learnt  so much things with this film, like their songs, their steps all around the world, and the revolutions that they made. It’s an interesting film because we can appreciate the differents revolutions that changed the world, like the hippies movements where they defended the human rights, furthermore the love between the main characters.

Meena Keshwar Kamal

                MEENA KESHWAR KAMAL






Menna Keshwar Kamal was born on February 27, 1956 in Kabul. She left the university to devote herself as a social activist to organizing and educating women. In pursuit of her cause for gaining the right of freedom of expression and conducting political activities, Meena laid the foundation of RAWA in 1977. This organization was meant to give voice to the deprived and silenced women of Afghanistan. She started a campaign against the Russian forces and their puppet regime in 1979 and organized numerous processions and meetings in schools, colleges and Kabul University to mobilize public opinion.
Her active social work and effective advocacy against the views of the fundamentalists and it provoked the wrath of the Russians and the fundamentalist forces alike. She was assassinated by agents of Afghanistan branch of KGB and their fundamentalist accomplices in Quetta, Pakistan, on February 4 ,1987.

Meena gave 12 years of her short but brilliant life. She had a strong belief that despite the darkness, ignorance of fundamentalism. Finally that half of population will be awaken and cross the path towards freedom, democracy and women's rights. The enemy was rightly shivering with fear by the love and respect that Meena was creating within the hearts of our people. They knew that within the fire of her fights all the enemies of freedom, democracy and women would be turned to ashes.
