Umhlaba Uyizwe Lami: Ifilimu Entsha Ebalulekile mayelana neGarry Davis's Fight for Global Citizenship

nguMarc Eliot Stein, ngoFebruwari 8, 2018

UGarry Davis wayengumlingisi osemusha weBroadway ngo-1941, owayeyisifiso esiphansi sikaDanny Kaye emculweni kaCole Porter owawubizwa ngokuthi “Ake Sibhekane Nawo” mayelana nabashushisi bezempi base-US, ngenkathi iMelika ingena eMpini Yesibili Yomhlaba futhi wazithola eselibangise eYurophu egqoke iyunifomu yesosha langempela . Le mpi ibizoguqula impilo yakhe. Umfowabo omdala kaDavis, naye manje olwa eYurophu, wabulawa ngesikhathi kuhlaselwa ulwandle. UGarry Davis wayehamba ngemishini yokuqhuma ngamabhomu eBrandenberg, eJalimane, kepha akakwazanga ukubekezelela ukuthi wayesiza ekubulaleni abanye abantu njengoba nje nomfowabo amthandayo esanda kubulawa. “Ngizizwe ngilulazekile ngokuthi ngiyingxenye yayo,” esho kamuva.

Kwakunokuthile okwehlukile ngale nsizwa enomphefumulo, indaba yayo ekhulunywayo efilimini entsha, ekhuthazayo kakhulu ebizwa nge "The World Is My Country", eqondiswa ngu-Arthur Kanegis futhi njengamanje esenza imijikelezo yemijikelezo yomkhosi wamafilimu ngethemba lokuthi ukukhululwa okubanzi. Imizuzwana evula ifilimu ikhombisa ushintsho oselufice impilo kaGarry Davis, njengoba eqhubeka nokubonakala ezinhlelweni zeBroadway ezijabulisayo nabadlali abanjengoRay Bolger noJack Haley (uDavis ngokomzimba befana bobabili, futhi kungenzeka ukuthi wenza umsebenzi ofana nowabo) kodwa ulangazelela ukuphendula ocingweni olukhulu. Ngokungazelelwe, njengokungathi usemfisweni, unquma ngo-1948 ukuthi azibonakalise eyisakhamuzi somhlaba, futhi enqabe ukuhambisana nomqondo wokuthi yena noma omunye umuntu kufanele agcine ubuzwe bakazwelonke ngesikhathi emhlabeni lapho ubuzwe buxhunyaniswe ngokungenakuhlukaniswa khona ebudloveni, ukusola, inzondo nempi.

Ngaphandle kokucabanga noma ukulungiselela okuningi, le nsizwa empeleni idela ubuzwe bayo baseMelika bese iphendulela ipasipoti yayo eParis, okusho ukuthi ayisamukelekile ngokomthetho eFrance noma kwenye indawo emhlabeni. Ube ebeka indawo yakhe yokuhlala endaweni encane emfuleni iSeine lapho i-United Nations ihlangana khona, nalapho iFrance isimemezele ukuthi ivulekile emhlabeni okwesikhashana. UDavis ubiza ubuqili beZizwe Ezihlangene, futhi uthi njengesakhamuzi somhlaba le ndawo kumele kube yikhaya lakhe. Lokhu kudala isigameko samazwe omhlaba futhi ngokungazelelwe le nsizwa idonswe yohlobo olungajwayelekile lodumo lomhlaba. Ukuhlala emgwaqeni noma ematendeni okwenziwa okwesikhashana, okokuqala engqungqutheleni yeZizwe Ezihlangene eParis bese kuba ngumfula ohlukanisa iFrance neJalimane, uyaphumelela ekubhekiseni udaba lwakhe nasekuqoqeni ukwesekwa kubantu abakhulu bomphakathi abanjengoJean-Paul Sartre, uSimone de UBeauvoir, u-Albert Camus, u-Andre Breton no-Andre Gide. Ekuphakameni kwalesi sikhathi esimangazayo sempilo yakhe, uthokoziswa yisixuku sababhikishi abasebasha abangama-20,000 XNUMX futhi ucashunwe ngomsebenzi wakhe ngu-Albert Einstein no-Eleanor Roosevelt.

I- “The World Is My Country” ilandisa ngohambo lwempilo lukaGarry Davis, owashona ngo-2013 eneminyaka engama-91. Akumangalisi ukuthi kwakuluhambo olunzima. Ngesikhathi sakhe esikhulu kakhulu sokudunyiswa esidlangalaleni, lesi sazi sefilosofi esizithobile sivame ukuzizwa sigxeka kakhulu kuye, futhi sichaza ukuphelelwa yithemba okwakumcindezele khona kanye lapho "abalandeli" bakhe (ayengahlose ukuba nabo, futhi engazicabangeli yena uqobo umholi) wayelindele ukuthi azi ukuthi yini okufanele ayenze ngokulandelayo. "Ngaqala ukulahleka," esho ngokulandisa okuthinta inhliziyo kakhulu emashumini eminyaka kamuva, okunikeza ukwakheka kwendaba njengoba le movie engajwayelekile iqhubeka. Ugcine esebenza efemini yaseNew Jersey isikhathi esifushane, wabe esezama (ngaphandle kwempumelelo enkulu) ukubuyela esigabeni seBroadway, futhi ekugcineni wasungula inhlangano ezinikele ekubeni yisakhamuzi emhlabeni, i UHulumeni Wezwe Lomhlaba Wonke, eqhubeka nokukhipha ama-pasports nokukhuthaza ukuthula emhlabeni jikelele namuhla.

"Umhlaba Uyizwe Lami" yi-movie ebalulekile namuhla. Kusikhumbuza imiqondo ebalulekile, nethemba eyabamba umhlaba iminyaka embalwa ngemuva kokuphela kwenhlekelele yeMpi Yesibili Yomhlaba yaphela ngo-1945 futhi ngaphambi kokuba kuqale inhlekelele yempi yaseKorea ngo-1950. INhlangano Yezizwe yake yasekelwa phezu kwalemibono. UGarry Davis ubambe lo mzuzu, egqugquzela futhi ecunula i-UN ngokugcizelela ukuthi iphile ngokuvumelana namandla yamazwi ayo aphakeme mayelana nokwenza ukuthula emhlabeni, futhi ekugcineni isebenzise i-Universal Declaration of Human Rights njengesisekelo senhlangano yayo ehlala njalo.

Ukubuka le filimu enamandla ngokomzwelo namuhla, ezweni elisalokhu ligcwele ukungabi nabulungisa, ubumpofu obungadingekile nempi enonya, ngazithola ngicabanga ukuthi ngabe awekho yini amandla nhlobo asele ku-Universal Declaration of Human Rights, okwake kwasho lukhulu kuGarry UDavis nabalingani bakhe abaningi bezishoshovu. Umbono wokuba yisakhamuzi somhlaba wonke ngokusobala unamandla, kepha uhlala uphikisana futhi ungaziwa kakhulu. Abantu abaningi abadumile emphakathini kanye nosaziwayo bavela ukuxhasa ifa likaGarry Davis kanye nomqondo wokuba yisakhamuzi emhlabeni wonke ku- "The World Is My Country", kubandakanya uMartin Sheen kanye nomrepha uYasiin Bey (aka Mos Def). I-movie ikhombisa ukuthi abantu baqala kalula kanjani ukuqonda umbono wokuba yisakhamuzi somhlaba wonke uma sebuchazelwe - kepha umbono uhlala ungathandeki ezimpilweni zethu zansuku zonke, futhi kucatshangwa ukuthi kuyaqabukela uma kunjalo.

Ngifikelwe umcabango owodwa ongakhulunywa nakule filimu, yize ifilimu iphakamisa umbuzo wokuthi umphakathi wembulunga yonke ungawusebenzisela ini lwemali. Namuhla, osomnotho nabanye babhekene nokuvela kwezimali ze-blockchain ezinjengeBitcoin ne-Ethereum, ezisebenzisa amandla obuchwepheshe be-Intanethi ukuhlinzeka ngemininingwane evikelekile yemali esebenzayo engasekelwa yinoma isiphi isizwe noma uhulumeni. Izimali zeBlockchain zinabachwepheshe bezezimali emhlabeni wonke abadidekile, futhi abaningi bethu bobabili bajabule futhi bakhathazekile ngamathuba wohlelo lwezomnotho olunganciki ebuningini bezwe. Ngabe lokhu kuzosetshenziselwa okuhle nokubi? Amandla akhona kubo bobabili… nokuthi izimali ze-blockchain ngokuzumayo manje sezikhona njengohlelo lwezomnotho lwangaphandle zikhomba kwenye yezindlela eziningi "Umhlaba Yizwe Lami" uphethe umyalezo ozizwa ufaneleka ku-2018.

Umlayezo yilokhu: siyizakhamizi zomhlaba, noma ngabe siyaqaphela noma cha, futhi kukithi ukuthi sisize imiphakathi yethu edidekile nenamahloni ukukhetha ikusasa lomphakathi nokuchuma ngaphezu kwesikhathi esizayo senzondo nodlame. Lapha kulapho esizizwa khona ukungeniswa kwesibindi esikhona okwashukumisela insizwa egama layo linguGarry Davis ukuthi izifake engcupheni eyisimanga ngokunikela ngobuzwe bayo eParis ngo-1948, ngaphandle komqondo ocacile wokuthi izokwenzenjani ngokulandelayo. Ekubonakaleni okuhle kukaDavis esiteji kamuva empilweni yakhe, lapho ekhuluma ngamajele angama-34 asindile futhi ubungaza umndeni awukhulise nowesifazane ahlangana naye emngceleni ophakathi kweJalimane neFrance, kanye nayo yonke imisebenzi emikhulu ayenza kusukela lapho , siyabona ukuthi lesi sibindi siguqule kanjani indoda engaculi-nokudansa engenangqondo kanye ne-ex-GI yaba yiqhawe nesibonelo kwabanye.

Kodwa ezinye izigcawu eziqeda le movie enamandla, zibonisa ababaleki emhlabeni wonke abafisa noma yini efana nokukhululeka kanye nobulungiswa bokuthi ubunikazi bomhlaba wonke bungiletha, sibonise indlela ngempela umzabalazo uhlala ngayo. NjengoGarry Davis ku-1948, futhi ngisho nakakhulu nakakhulu, laba bantu abanalo izwe ngendlela engathí sina futhi enzima kakhulu. Lawa angabantu abangaba nombono wokuba yisakhamuzi somhlaba wonke ongabonisa umehluko phakathi kokuphila nokufa. Kungenxa yabo ukuthi uGarry Davis wayephila ukuphila kwakhe okuyisibonelo, futhi kungenxa yokuthi kumele siqhubeke sithatha imibono yakhe ngokujulile futhi siqhubeke silwa.
