Documentaty Studies

After looking at the choices from the Duke University Center of Documentary Studies podcasts, I chose to watch a film called Broken. This is an educational film from South Africa about HIV. It was a short film that conveyed the reality of rape and sexually transmitted disease that children face every day. It was a film made by children, reaching out and sending the message that children are the future and they must be protected. It was a "MAD about ART" production. I looked up the website that was given at the end of the film. Mad about Art is an organization that uses art to educate people in South Africa about HIV and AIDS. I feel that this was a very important podcast, because the children are indeed the future and it is our job to help the and provide them with information on how to be safe.
