Unit 27 - vice documentary

 The documentray of crime and punishment in the Gaza

https://www.vice.com/en_uk/video/crime-and-punishment-in-the-gaza-strip-part-1

Everything and talks about everything.  The description of the documentary says in 2007 we tried and failed to get into Gaza through the Israeli-controlled Ereaz Crossing. Back then the rival Palestinian factions of Hamas and Fatahwere engaged in a bloody war for control of this tiny strip of land. Hamas won. When the post-Mubarak government of Egypt decided to start letting small numbers of folks into Gaza through their Rafah crossing, we knew it was ochance to finally get a rare glimpse of the embattled Gaza Strip and to see what life was like under the rule of Hamas.

Israel and Gaza were not friendly terms as some of the people of Israel attacked and assassinated a massive amount of people in Gaza. Because of this Gaza lunched planes to attack Israel back. The narrator to this didn't really get anyone’s opinion on this. This documentary was really set on just facts. the war between nation shouldn't every happen.

The people at fault here would be some of the people of Israel as they attacked the murdered innocent people. Gaza on the other hand wanted to use votes, elections so the citizens choose how they live which isn't fully just made on the governments that rules over.

I think what could have helped was the fact that only one person in the documentary gave there opinion for a 8 minutes documentary lacks in that but it makes for it for information instead.  The documentary only interviews two people.  While the documentary doesn’t have two separate parts it could have still have been better if it wasn't so informative but got peoples opinion on the matter at hand.

Gaza is represented as a dangerous place as the narrator said they could get bombed at any time simply for standing in Gaza as people just visiting.  Everyone in the documentary seems to be represented as decent people. Close to the end of the video you see a militant group like Alansard, which seem want revenge for what the people of Israel have done for killing their people.

 It's like the militant Alansard people are ignorant to the fact the more people die the more suffering and war there will just be until there's nothing left. The documentary could have honestly looked at more positive things than just negatives which this documentary was full of which was one sided and only really got the point of view of the people of Gaza and not the Israel people.


In Saddam's Shadow: Baghdad 10 Years After the Invasion

This is brief documentary how life is in the Saddam after a giant war broke out. After the
war finally ended people have been happier at Saddam and citizens feel they have more freedom.  What the documentary 
first does well is to show some of places of Saddam. There also an interview were
citizens seem to admire places like the USA as it is a completely free country with so many 
opportunities.
  This gives in sight on to some of the people of Saddam and how some they feel about countries like America and their own countries. 


People in Saddam have been getting killed for breaking from religious tradition. As such people that are me bands and where just black clothing ect. the effect of this is that people are getting murdered simply for dressing a certain way which isn't seen as being appropriate along the victims being Muslim.  

Police are having a hard time actually protecting citizens as thousands and thousands and of people from bombs being transport in to different parts.  It is repented positively at the start but over time the documentary goes on to the negative side of things. By doing it makes the interview some what balanced. What I think it was missing was the documentary being objective. The documentary didn't interview anyone that was really effected by the way this. If the documentary were to do that than it would have been a pretty good documentary. What the documentary really did was get peoples opinion the matter that was all subjective.
