"Life in a Day" - Feature Documentary

 “Life in a Day” is wonderful creative piece that takes us to a day July 24th, 2010. Through it we see how life is for people from all over the world and from different backgrounds. It’s impressive how much footage was acquired for this documentary alone. The variety of content in the videos is also amazing. There is footage about fear, hope, happiness, wants, dreams, horrific figures, love, etc. Just about anything under the sun. Truly a time capsule that can be shown to generations to come about a time that is just as regular as any other day, yet, it is a time to capture what makes us individuals. This is an opportunity for people to show what makes them unique and what makes them interesting to get to know for that matter. It is a celebration of people and of life lived in one day and in one movie. There are no differences in race, religion, or orientation. Everyone is the same in showing who they are. Where they live. Who they interact with. Some of these people do not think their lives are worthy of praise. Some of these people do. Some do not even think of it. Yet, this film brings them all together and helps us get a sense of unity. I was truly moved by some of these people in the film. Some of them have dreams of doing great things, others just want to take care of unfinished businesses. I felt so connected to the different individuals in this piece. I got to appreciate the various cultures and beliefs of others. This is truly a wonderful concept for a documentary. No one is regarded as a minority or a majority. Nothing is biased. Everything is captured as it is. Adults, children, and animals all are protagonists of this inventive work.
