Enron Response

Again, this documentary has presented the viewer with information that is disturbing though very mandatory. It helped me recognize the way that business men play with the stock market. I think that the most apt statement throughout the documentary is that this is a tragic story, not about numbers, but about people. The reporting that goes into making sense of this mess of numbers and people is extraordinary. This documentary helped capture the people behind the numbers, and as such the man behind the curtain. The deception is immense and as such the reporting needs to be sharp.

REaction to Taxi video

This documentary was at once, disturbing, informative, well put together and necessary. I watched the entire thing in one sitting with my headphones plugged in. I only came up for air once. Watching it was horrifying. Though I hated what I was seeing and what was slowly being unraveled in front of my eyes, I found it necessary and mandatory that this awareness and horror be presented to the greater public. I sat through the entire documentary with the hair on my arms standing straight up. In short, my reaction was disgust but in a way that information and action can help. My most poignant thought that I came away with concerns the levels of power and the trickle down to the actual source as apposed to the people receiving the message. The men in suits, the clean cut, well dressed men who run this country are the ones ok-ing the atrocities that happen in grimy, dusty, metal cages.
