This first video is on The Guardian's website. It's about a Pakistani yak polo player who is trying to gain government support for his beloved sport. I think what makes this video interesting is the unusualness of the topic being covered. I like the use of subtitles instead of narration because the video is short and narration would distract from the overall feel of the video.

On a more serious note, this second video is about a man who's father was one of terrorists that planned the 9/11 attacks. He's being interviewed about his book "A Terrorist's Son". A lot of times I get bored pretty quickly by news interviews, but this one kept me engaged. I enjoyed his message of how he chose peace and nonviolence rather than following his father's past. The questions were engaging and it made me want to read his book.
