Blog: I am very happy with where my group is with the documentary. We have all of our footage shot and only have to worry about editing and putting together the pieces. It is such a relief! The only disappointing part is that the interview we tried to set up with Children's Home Society didn't work out. The person that we emailed never responded. But I think that our documentary will be really good without it. As for editing, we have all the pieces from each interviewee that we think could be used. All we have to do now is put the story together in the right order and cut down the time. We have about 2 minutes already of footage that is cut down and makes sense as a story. I'm excited that things are going so well with a draft due on Monday.
Response: I found this article to be a little confusing. The beginning made me think that Aguilar was going to discuss the faults in freedom of speech and how society can't really ever be free to speak their mind. Then it goes on to talk about the issue in Cuba and how freedom of speech is a huge issue there. I had no idea that it was so hard to be a writer and speak your mind in Cuba. So even though I was confused at times, I learned about an important issue. But I believe that the problem in Cuba is also true here in the U.S. As Aguilar states, "the formula of a single guide, a single watchword, and common obedience is preferred", this suggests that real freedom of speech doesn't exist with this unwritten rule. Due to this unwritten rule, society holds its tongue and our truth stays silent. This is a sad thought but I agree with it.
