baraka

This film was very interesting to say the least. It was a little boring because of the lack of dialog and because some of the images they showed went on for too long. I liked some of the images though and it was fascinating to see some of the things a person in america would not see on a normal day-today basis. The part that affected me the most was the chicken factories in one part of Asia. It opened my eyes to the realities that go on in other places that we do not take into consideration when we eat chicken or other livestock. The movie was definitely informative, but quite boring.
