Samantha Power's talk.
Starts out discussing the birth in the 21st century of the "save the people" movement, like early environmentalism but dedicated to ending genocide. This movement is mostly US-based, and largely on college campuses. She then segues into a hero of hers,
Sergio Vieira de Mello.
Sergio worked tirelessly to confront evildoeers.
Samantha Power started (?) as a journalist covering the Yugoslav Wars. She then attended Harvard Law School, where a paper she wrote on genocide turned into the book The Problem from Hell, is a survey of genocide. This got her named by Time Magazine as a top thinker. She then took a position working with Senator Obama on foreign policy. She continues to be active in his administration as the Senior Director for Multilateral Affairs, as well as holding a professorship.
