Documentary (Nov 5)

I found the documentary on the Hajj very interesting. I thought it was fun to kind of get a first-hand view of what the Hajj is like, and I like how straight and to the point the whole thing was. Sometimes, there are hour long documentaries that can be cut down to about 20-30 minutes and still have all the necessary information included, because some of them just seem to go in circles just to hit the 60 minute mark. That’s not me saying I won’t watch an hour long documentary, I have just come across numerous that seemed so much longer than necessary, so I liked that this one had all the necessary information without making it clear they were trying to fit a time requirement.

The most interesting thing from the documentary was the fact that the Hajj takes place over a particular range of dates. I didn’t realize that there was a specific time of year that it happened, so I found myself thinking about how crowded the area must be during those days, and I found myself laughing at the thought that it is probably a good time of year for airlines that go in that area. Overall, the documentary was very informative, and I really liked the way that it was structured. It was so much more engaging and easier to follow than some that I have watched in the past.
