This film, Aleut Story, was a very interesting video to see. It presents the history of the people in a documentary style, but with a twist. The stories are presented in a narrative as opposed to a non-personal story. The people who were describing the events actually lived through it and could give a personal insight on what happened rather than a factual synopsis. These people have lived through having to evacuate from their homes and though internment. The style of narration is a good way to present this information in a more personal light, but on the other hand, it also can be seen as very one sided. All we hear about is what that person knows rather than all of the facts that were actually present. While effective on a personal level, empirical facts are often appreciated as well.
