Video Summary Assignment
The video addresses the issue of population growth and its effects. In particular, the video captures the reasons people migrate to other countries. The specific place of interest is Guatemala exploring the population and conquest of the Maya Indian people. The video explores the motive behind the movement of people from Mexico to the United States. One such factor is the inadequate agricultural resources.
The most captivating part of the video covering this immigration is the cross over to the other side of the border. The scene is as tragic as it is exciting. Looking at the desperate humans trying to cross the dangerous waters fills one with horror as well as sympathy for these immigrants. One sympathizes with the immigrants more when even after going through the risks of crossing the border they are arrested. One cannot help but pity the people who risk all to find something better in life.
The most interesting part about the topic of this video is how population growth can lead people to leave their own homes to go to unknown places to seek better life there. The risks involved in such a venture are numerous. The immigrants are at risk of being labeled illegal immigrants and hence face arrests and jail terms in a foreign land. This is not what they are looking for as they risk crossing dangerous waters.
The video makes the topic come alive as the glaring pictures of men crossing the waters that almost drown them pass through the screen. It shows the desperation of a man whose search for a better future is made impossible by the limited resources in his own land and has therefore to seek life in foreign land altogether without the necessary documents.
