I Just Watched “America’s Broken Dream: The Middle-Class Families Living in Motels | Poverty in the USA Documentary” on YouTube
I watched this yesterday…It was from a European perspective, meaning the producer who made the documentary was based in Europe. It featured several families with children who were living out of weekly rental hotels. It was heart breaking to watch. Most of the people interviewed were in their 40’s and 50’s with several children. Being…

I Just Watched “Audrey Hepburn: Film and Fashion Icon | Full Documentary | Biography” on YouTube
I finished watching “Audrey Hepburn: Film and Fashion Icon’ a few hours ago… I didn’t realize she died in her 60’s in Jan 1993.. I must have gotten her mixed up with someone else. I also didn’t realize she was born in Belgium and was a British citizen. Near the end of the documentary, her…

I Just Watched “Escaping the Blitz” on YouTube
This is an oral history that was published last year in 2020… at least that was the date on the credits. I’m not entirely sure when these interviews were done, since the Pandemic has been going on for almost two years. It was sad to hear some of the stories. The people in this oral…

I Just Watched “Berlin Wall Guards Tell Harrowing Tales Of East Germany | Our History” on YouTube
This was very interesting…. and also heart breaking at the same time. It came out in 1991, so not long after the wall had fallen. At the end, one of the guards thought he may have to eventually face charges from the West. One part that really touched me was a former guard who shot…
