1. Hugh O'Connor's daughter found peace with her fathers death because she came to realize and understand the reasoning behind the shooters motive. She definitely had an open mind about the situation as she grew older and learned to forgive. I'm not completely sure that I would feel the same way. Although I like to think I have an open mind too, it's different when it happens to your own family.
2. I honestly don't believe that a visual image can be powerful enough to bring about change. It may make people think and wonder and remain in disbelief or awe, but only for as long they watch/look at this visual image. It depends on the individual and how strongly they feel about a subject. There are some that can watch Stranger With A Camera and be stuck thinking about it for however long, and others that can forget about it and go on with their lives. It takes a strong and very talented filmmaker to leave people with lingering thoughts about a social issue or sensitive subject.
3. Colin Low's statement refers to the camera as being a weapon of destruction. He believes it can hurt people by invading their privacy and exposing things they don't want others to see. A camera can shoot into a persons life and reveal everything for everyone to see. Photographers/filmmakers can be sure to get consent from whoever it is that they are filming so that they are aware.
