Anthropologist, intermediary actor    


    Anthropologist study human behavior, physical and cultural development, living life of ethics groups and different culture.  Recently the problem of ‘Refugees’ were involved with ‘Human rights’ and anthropologist is intermediary between first information source and audience.  Sometimes, outcome of their researched comes with their own opinion, their own culture and the main concept of their work. Could not reject that every contents had been picked up only some part of all researching and elements of work could shave the audience thinking. 

    

    Most of researching was made by western countries that represent them self as ‘Helper’ who try to understand and announcement to the public of refugee situation. According to short documentary  I had seen in Refugees, displace people, migrants and Human rights class, maker were supported by American anthropologist, it’s about Refugee camp of Eritreans. I learned something  form that video. One is the way to presentation in the American documentary way, the story begin with white man who sent himself to refugee camp among Eritreans refugees people, he interviewed some of people about them horror story in the past, switched with reproduce their story, couples of happy screen living life in the camp. The maker can cut some screen off but I saw one screen quite impact and may be could be the main reason to make this documentary. I found the one sentence of interview, Eritrean man said like the maker cannot help anything, he been in the camp long time ago, aiding by NGOs or government not enough for helping them to get better life. That screen could tell people to give more precedence on them.  I think at first they escaped from their country because of political issue but now a day seem like they save from political violent but not for economic issue. So the next word coming as continually is ‘Patriotism’. The problem is how they can explain the real reason to the public if they had not allowed to criticize politic issue in their country.


To conclude, anthropologist is very important actor to announce the problem to public even though most of content will represent themselves as a helper or hero but that’s is the one way giving the voice of Refugees people to the public and made more attention from world. To the media maker>> By the way don’t cut too much screen till given us for misunderstand.
