LIFE IN A DAY

Earlier this week our ROGATE class watched a documentary called Life in a Day.  This documentary is about life in July 24 2010.  I feel that the most memorable scene was when the goat was being lead to slaughter and they held the knife up to its neck.  The love parade made me have a negative reaction  to the scene  because there were people getting trampled to death.  The guy biking around the world made me have a positive reaction because he was trying to reunite Korea.   A juxtaposition was when the family living in the little clay hut in a cemetery was put next to a guy who had the luxury of watering his lawn in Dubai with a nice house.  I think they did a good job on the video and would strongly recommend it to a friend.
