Text: Look closer at the face you despise. You will find fear—the same shape as yours. You will find a childhood—different clothes, same scraped knees. You will find a heartbeat.
The enemy cannot have a name. They cannot have a child’s birthday party. They cannot have a favorite song. They must become a symbol.
We live in an era of perfect polarization. The algorithms feed us a simple binary: You are good. They are evil.
VO: But here is the uncomfortable geometry of conflict: When you look into the face of the enemy, you are looking into a mirror made of scar tissue. They are afraid of you, too.
VO: We are trained to remove their face. We put a label over it. Radical. Terrorist. Fascist. Snowflake. Once the label sticks, the face disappears.
