I never knew that Alaska was the largest state. I didn't know that many Alaskans weren't able to vote either.... neither did I know that Alaska hadn't voted for a democratic candidate since 1964. Another interesting thing is that I never knew that Alaska had a problem with the No Child Left Behind Act too. (I'm from DC and the NCLB Act is non-existent in our neck of the woods as well...)
Tonei did a fabulous job in presenting such in depth coverage of something so important, in such a small frame of time. Not only that, but - even though it has no ambient sound, interviews, or sounds other than his narrative voice - he managed to keep my focus the ENTIRE time. Presenting facts, ideas, issues, and personality in a single assignment was amazingly done well.
The tone was formal, yet something about it still spoke to me as a teen myself... maybe because he was a teen too... but I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for the facts Glavinic.
Simple and right to the point. Love it.
