[2020-05-02] 居然讓我找到這個!總共5季,前4季都是記錄紐奧良的急救、消防、警察隊伍在入夜後出勤故事的紀錄片連續劇,第5季擴展到了其他城市。住在LSU醫學院、上班上學接送Daycare在Tulane醫學院,飯後散步在UMC,急救車的警笛、直升機的轟鳴早已習以為常,也沒有想過是什麼樣的人在駕駛、在救護,彷彿它們只是自動運轉的自駕機器。哇嗚,原來每天都在和閃電俠們擦肩而過啊。

[2020-07-12] 是啊,Rosa Parks的付出和成就當然不只於拒絕讓座。後來又知道了第一個拒絕讓座的其實也不是Parks。如果這些歷史都能被正常講述,是不是就會好了?簡直是什麼都不知道的感覺。當然這裡沒有不敬重Parks的意思。

[2021-05-24] 超低成本紀錄片,觀賞性不高,只適合用於了解被遺漏的歷史,重塑世界史觀。講述一名22歲的女性率領剛果人民抵抗白人神祗,重奪對信仰、社會定義的權力,為剛果帶來了短暫的沒有奴隸交易的时期,而且為以後黑人抵抗的傳統埋下了種子。

[Made in NOLA] 副標題 A Potrait of New Orleans. 西岸小朋友在河岸這邊迷迷瞪瞪的24小時。要想親近這座城市,需要拋棄世故給想像力戴上的禁錮。它就像那一艘廢棄的破船,狹小、破敗但是講究,於是他們毫不吝惜地把它變成了泰坦尼克。
