Contents[hide] |
This scene fallows the story of a woman working towards achieving the MDG’s, focusing on women empowerment. We will follow her life story and how she came to work in an NGO. This story is interlinked with an other story in which we will talk about a women trained by Maya, Sira. This will help us analyse how much the work done by NGO’s really benefits the target population.
We will look at the story fo a women and the conflict within her. On one side her strong cultural identity and on the other the openness to new values. The intent is to understand what is the conaction between the two. In the later part of the story we will show how even common people can contribute to the achievement of the MDG's. Though Maya we will also look at the role of NGO's as divelopment actors and their limitations.
What is the "drama"
The drama in this scene is between upholding vs. braking family values.
What is that creates suspense?
The suspense of the story is created by the question: "when will the Lebanese women be able to get the right to custody of their children?"
What is the
"atmosphere"?
We are in Beirut, in
the middle of morenisation. But this modernisation hides some very
conservatives values. The athmosfear is colorful, we see a women with corrage,
who radiats hope to others. We will see faces of many wimen of Lebanon in this
scene, specialy focosing on the contrasts of this contry.
What alternative
views, facts or ideas does the audience need to understand?
Through this scene I
want the audience to understand the social problematics and the situation of
wimen in Lebanon. How they seem to live in the modern world but are cadged by
society and how the goverment itself incorages this conservitism.
What evidence will you show to get the audience to see those different truths?
To see these truths I
will take the audience inside the story of Maya and understan what happend to
her and how she reacted to it.
What facts must
the audience gather by watching it ?
The audience must
undersand that Lebanon even if it seems very modern it has a long way to go in
acheaving gender equality and women empowerment.
Ultimately through this scene, I want the audience to feel
The audiece should
feal that there is hope and that woman in Lebanon are strng and know how to
fight. Taking the egsample of Maya other wimen watching this story should feal
courageous of standing up and fighting.
and to understand that
The NGO's in Lebanon
are working well in the acheavent of the MDG's and they diserve to be
sustained. The audience should understand that its important that we all help
each other around the world if we want to help our selfs.
