Reflection: Weeks 7& 8

Week 7

This week we watched the documentary "Green". This documentary was about an area on the Mississippi river known as "cancer alley". This is a stretch about 100 miles long with many chemical factories located along the river. It showed some of the people living in the area and some of the problems that they face. One of the biggest problems is cancer. This is how the area got its name.

Week 8

This week we watched the documentaty "Thirst". I was gone for the first day of the video, and the second day didn't go so well either. What I did see is that this video focused on the privitization of water. It also showed that people are trying to treat water as more of an asset that a right to life.
