When it begins to pass the impact of the statements of James Hamilton in Zero Tolerance, when other issues bullets literally burst on the agenda, when the initial shock gives way to nuance, it pause for a moment to review why the interview with a victim of abuse became one of the major milestones in recent years television .
Perhaps the answers to that question will reveal unknown aspects of ourselves.
The first provisional conclusion is that the value is a rare commodity on TV. James Hamilton is a man who has faced for years of indifference, ridicule, pressure and even threats of characters more powerful than he. And it has not been defeated. Hence derives its value. Many of the other characters that inhabit our television, from the figures of the entertainment to the highest political lofty, had to sign a pact with the power, have suffered these tiny or huge defeats are undermining their impetuosity of youth. Have lost their innocence and no longer believe that sacrifice themselves on the screen can change anything or bring any benefit. And they do their calculations. They say all they think, but what they estimate that favors them. Therein lies the root of your major defeat. And that's what makes a TV show without significance: the dictatorship of the calculation and political correctness.
But it takes more than courage to transcend . It requires credibility, this quality also the TV naked little more than any other medium that is detected in the tone of voice, hesitations microscopic speech in silence, in her eyes. At home, the viewer becomes an implacable judge, you believe or not believe him. It turns out that many of the figures who have made known their profession, people they believe little or nothing. Even some of the most untouchable of the TV is now saving the suspicion and doubt. And in that scenario, a man without fear, which supports their mistakes, which even recognizes its faults, is a rarity. That night, Hamilton did in minutes what many a lifetime trying without success: he believed everything.
And finally, make no mistake, we must say things that most feel as certain and which has waited years to see them on TV. The Catholic Church authorities in Chile have accumulated a long series of media claims. Have been grudgingly admitting they had earlier rejected as mere fabrications. In the worst strategy, have opted for the delay and the secrecy, if not arrogance, with serious allegations. When a leader semidesconocido opponent of the dictatorship, Ricardo Lagos, skipped the rules of the program that had been invited and pointed the finger at Pinochet, connected in a profound way with a strong desire and repressed majority of the population. Aloof, James Hamilton did the same on Sunday. It was an "I accuse" that millions of Chileans, Catholic and non-Catholics have been waiting for years.
By the way, the truth of Hamilton may not be the whole truth and may even be the truth even at the end of the judicial process has been reopened in the courts.
But a longing for Chileans spoke through his mouth that night. "The truth," said Hamilton, do not act, it is. "
Valiente, credible and accurate, the testimony of Dr. Hamilton will live long in the collective memory as one of those rare times when a hard truth, but essential, burst like a sledgehammer to the TV screens.
SEE, THINK, WRITE . Greetings
