FootCred & Shayda
FootCred seemed good except I couldn't hear it properly. Bad
sound was problem that plagued more than one doc I saw. I'm not
sure why this doc wasn't mixed better since it was a completely studio
product. Documentary makers please do not under estimate the
importance of audio quality.
Shayda
Excellent doc! This was a compelling story of an Arab-Israeli (an
Arab Muslim who holds an Israeli passport) young woman Shayda who
competes in Karate championships with the Israeli team. Shayda
faces personal decisions as she tries to continue Karate after she
marries. A very personal examination of many issues - the
treatment of Arab-Israelis, and the role of women in an Arab-Israeli
family. Highly recommended!
Maquiapolis: City of Factories
Excellent doc! This doc covered the women who work in the
Maquiapolis - the factories on the Mexican side of the US - Mexican
border. Under NAFTA raw materials can be imported into Mexico and
finished goods exported out. The jobs are well paid for Mexico
but the local conditions in Tijauna are terrible. The doc used
footage recorded by the women themselves which was excellent.
This doc had an excellent soundtrack. Two docs from Mexico in 2
days and both had great soundtracks. Highly recommended.

I found this documentary very touching as it really gave a pretty accurate insight to how complexed the lives of today's youth really is within closed societies and cultures - foreign to our own.
I enjoyed the rawness of this documentary - sans any flowerey graphics or special effects. Shukran sharif Trackbacks
