The fact that these people lived in a place where these things weren't supposed to happen. It's much easier to watch things happen in the third world and have it feel distant, you can't relate to many aspects of that life experience. To see it happen in a place that is very much like where you live, and to people that are very much like you and me changes everything.

Approximately 3,000 people die from HIV/AIDS in Africa every day.
And yet people have little to no problem with the Catholic church and US government policies which inflate and exacerbate this problem.
But it's okay, cause they're in Africa right? They're not people like
us, right?
