Documentary

[A. Katz]

I watched it yesterday, and I shared it on FB and on my blog in many places.

It is a very profound piece, as it not only highlights the academic conflict over turf, but the way that local governments want to erase the evidence of the lack of numeracy by enforcing education and modern living on a people who do not want these things.

There are many, many conflicting points of view being represented in this one documentary. I initially watched it with  Bow, a chimpanzee, and he was upset by something completely different:

Yes, was able to download the youtube posted video even here in Nepal
with our turtle-slow download speeds ;-)

Haven't had time to watch it all yet, but watched segments throughout
to see that it all downlaoded okay... looks to be a very good piece.
