What response does seeing human suffering demand of us? Filmmaker Julia Haslett seeks an answer in the controversial French philosopher and activist Simone Weil (1909-1943), whose life and work took on this question in a dramatic way. Adopting Weil as her guide through an engaging and profound moral landscape, Julia goes on a journey to understand Weil's loss of faith in revolutionary politics and the spiritual awakening that followed. Driving her obsession with Weil is the interwoven story of suffering within Haslett's own family----her father's suicide when she was 17 and now her older brother's severe depression. When Weil dies from self-starvation at the height of World War II, she is left wondering if death was the logical conclusion to Weil's philosophy and her attempt to share the pain of others?
@parasitesarefunny There's a difference between slaughter and famine. Learn it.

Ironic how she was a Bolshevik who helped SLAUGHTER millions of Christians in Russia which then led to the slaughter of millions more in China, Vietnam, Korea etc....
Communism is an evil sickness that this duped woman supported.
