The reality of the testimony was sobering. I only had a superficial knowledge of the event that drove Palestinians out of their homes. To hear about it firsthand really brought home some of the injustices that have been done. It was great that you got primary sources like your Grandmother to make your point.
One major problem, however, was that I was not sure who was narrating, translating, or giving testimony. Has this whole story been translated including your narration? That got me lost in some parts of the story. You don’t want to do that to your listener. My suggestion is that (1) the narrator(s) stay with one language. (2) Take time in reading the script, because sometimes it sounded rushed. If that makes it too long for you, some clips can be shortened and deliver the same impact.
You did a great job. This was a great story that everyone should hear!
