“…Contains Scenes which May Be Harmful to Children”

Tristan Saghin is a real hero. He saved his sister from drowning into the family pool. Tristan is only nine years (9) old!

How did he know how to do CPR on a person? According to the CNN article, it all began when Tristan saw the movie Black Hawk Down.

Black Hawk Down is a movie about the war in Somalia, where war is, well, war. People die and all kinds of shit happens.

Now, Black Hawk Down is rated R (“under 17 requires adult guardian”). In the Scandinavian countries, it has an age limit of 15 to 16 years. If they’d show (or rather when they do/did) this movie in the TV in Scandinavia, the announcer would proclaim before the movie starts: “this movie contains scenes which may be harmful to children”.

Not so this time! This time it was just the opposite – it was in fact not only non-harmful, but truly life-saving.

PS. Thank goodness the movie only details war, violence and death. If Tristan had gotten interested in CPR from a movie where naked female breasts are seen, it surely would have created a massive outrage…
