If you’ve ever watched Rashomon, this is another story of an incident happening with different witnesses having different accounts of the same situation. The Viewpoint differs in that we are shown what actually happened and the inherent bias the people involved had.

When a smiling distraught man approaches a woman, she assumes he has something nefarious in mind as does a male witness. As does the police officer who questions everyone except the wounded man. When Haneul, the wounded man, finally breaks down and gets their attention the story comes tumbling out.

In this world there are many biases that cloud our vision and interpretation of events. Every experience is sifted through cultural and social prejudices and norms often to the detriment of marginalized people. The Viewpoint showed the weakness of eye witness accounts and the harm caused by assumptions. A short and powerful reminder to open our minds to those we feel are “different” from us.

SEE FROM EVERBODY'S VIEWPOINT !

A man (disabled) with a wound on his face is sitting at the police station, and a detective, a man and a woman are looking at him. The sky is the first to wear it, and he should not be here and asks him to listen to him, but the detective doesn't listen. There are witnesses and victims' statements, and the detectives focus on them.The man gets emotionally intense, but as if there is a mirror or a wall, they do not listen to him @ all. When he stops every1 and tells the story ,frantically,and all the truth is revealed along with it.
