I have very similar thoughts regarding the endings of both Where Should the Birds Fly and Boys Don’t Cry. I appreciate both films and their endings as they each illuminate the circumstances and stories that many people live and have lived. As Fida Qishta said, it is important to tell these stories for the people who cannot tell it themselves. As these stories are told, more hearts are touched so that the people who are represented in these stories have a moment where their voices are heard, and a chance for change is created. It becomes up to the audience to internalize the messages that have been shared in these stories to make a difference for the future, because these problems and injustices will persist until these voices are heard.  I believe many of the injustices that people face will be adopted into the generations to come unless their is a change in the way we think about ourselves and each other (not us as a class, but us as a whole). For me specifically, one of the  messages that stuck with me and inspired me to look into the issue further from Where Should the Birds Fly is that war leaves some people feeling as though the rest of the world has forgotten about them. I’m sorry that this is such an abrupt ending.
