The more you travel and learn about the world, the harder it is to be surprised at how different people think, feel, and act. But yesterday's viewing of "RRR" taught me that cinema can still surprise, and the beautiful video below allowed me to see Carl Sagan through fresh eyes, as Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" speech was shown to a group of Pakistani tribespeople who had little scientific notion of things like space. Their reactions fascinated me.
