Review of Part 8: David Swan


This short piece was well edited. It detailed some of the grim realities of war, from the act of killing to being injured physically and/or emotionally.

I question why the description of the houses which were searched was included including the reference to Mercedes autos.

I liked the simplicity of this and the narrator just spoke as oppossed to speaking into a microphone.

I gave it a low rating only because we are getting a steady diet of these first-person stories on the news magazines. That's no fault of the producer and not a reflection on the producer's work.

That said, I would use them if the voices were from my community.
