Director: we can change the world
A film directed by Robert Bilheimer called “Not My Life” was made to provoke awareness of modern-slavery around the world. The film focuses mainly on 'trafficking, exploitation, and slavery,' which is happening in the world right now. It looks into the lives of 'survivors and anti-traffickers' around the world, and gets their points of view. The director wants to make fixing these problems the 'forefront of public consciousness.' The director was nominated for the Oscar for an anti-apartheid film he made.
In connecting this to One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey, the biggest connection is between Robert Bilheimer and Randall McMurphy. They both have a real desire to change the lives of people. McMurphy's goal is to change how the hospital is run, because people are being unfairly treated, and Bilheimer wants to change the lives of people who are being trafficked and enslaved in the modern world. However, McMurphy uses himself to try and change what is happening by bothering Big Nurse and her followers, as well as being rebellious against the system that's already in place, while Bilheimer uses the people who have been abused and have survived to make his point that the slavery needs to stop. McMurphy is also using himself directly to make his point, while Bilheimer is using the means of a film to make the world aware of what is going on. Though McMurphy and Bilheimer are doing similar they do it through different means, but their point is clearly made in both ways.
