This was a great piece. I think the ones that stand out to me as 'good' are the ones where you can tell people really want to tell their story. And it almost seems like an emotional release when they do. The story of this man turning his life around from almost certain death is to say the least, powerful.

Digital Story Review

This was a particularly interesting reflection of the revisionist history that plagues the generation of southerners that lived before me. I am not sure why these people glorify what was clearly a broken and oppressive society that is now, in the unbiased eyes of those who were not immersed in it, utterly obsolete.
Whatever it is that makes people remember and obsess over a 'simpler time' I am glad that my generation (for the most part) does not have it. Nostalgia is fun, but at the end of the day it will get you nowhere.
As far as presentation goes, I have not seen much in my first series of viewings that really struck me as something I would want to incorporate into my own work.
