This video “Dying of Ebola at the Hospital Door”
was about life in Monrovia, the Liberian capital, and the title says it all
because the only hospitals in Liberia are having to close their doors to needy
patients. This video seemed so simple, but it expressed a lot about the
complexity and pain of the Ebola virus. I also believe it would’ve been hard to
do because they were speaking a different language, so the voice had to kind of
explain what was going on.
I also liked how the narrator gives an explanation of what’s
going on before he introduces himself. It’s obvious what the video is about
from the start, and after showing a clip of someone with the virus, the speaker
goes into his narration – made it a little more interesting and drew me in to
continue watching.
It’s a pretty scary video and puts you directly into life in
Liberia with a virus like Ebola going around. The Doctors Without Borders are
doing their best, but hospitals are full, and it really shows you life in
Liberia right now as Ebola spreads.

This video was a nice contrast to the previous Ebola story. It’s called “Vow – Back to the Land.” It was a feature story/video on a couple from East Hampton who went to high school together, and then reunited later in life and got married. The video had a nice, upbeat music playing in the background and it showed their story being told by each of them. I liked how it showed them interacting with each other, and it shows a different life than the big city or what people think about people living in the Hamptons. They have a barn and do yard work, and they are just letting people know there’s a different life other than what people think about the Hampton locals. It was a sweet video and it told a story. Introducing the couple, talking about their childhood, and then we got to hear them discussing their future with their wedding plans in the family barn.
