creating awareness

Hobeema story has manged to raise the desired awareness among those who don't have the chance of seeing the bottom of real life. when we mention real life, not many people have the privilege or the chance of seeing what is really hearts, or what really shocks.

I've read all little about reserves, and how things go there. Little was never enough to put in front of a tragic, pare and yet sad reality like this. In An oil reach province, the least you expect is proper roads, nice gardens, and luxury houses. instead what has struck me this poor, filthy, and insecure places overwhelmed with crime,drugs and agony.
awareness about a huge challenges was raised in this story. it also raised awareness about the necessity of a quick action to mend what is left from an oil reach " ghost city" or reserve.


what worked well

you can show the difference with contrast. the story gave us simple facts from people on the ext rems. Characters were chosen fairly well. Locations are pure and perfect.also the way Mark Kelly managed to run his interviews and his slick comments which came exactly as " think bubbles",
served as true plate form for a firm story. A story you feel after watching as if you've been running hard, racing with yourself to save somebody, but when you reach, you discover he didn't make it.


what didn't work well.

although he was looking for " hope", there is no indication on any. even with lots of tips about gang members who poured in lately on the RCMP. it is a hopeless case, unless higher authorities do something real, and sharp.

finally

good veniets, nice scenes
empty vans means hopeless
burnt houses hopeless
we saw graffiti but we didn't see how they started erasing them and this is what really didn't work in the story, at least he should not have left before shooting some clean walls and houses without graffiti
thanks
