1. In general, what did you like and dislike about the film? Personally I liked so much the stories about these photographers and their role for spread the violence of the Apartheid system in South Africa. This club of photographers through their work shows the brutal repression of the racial government against of the black South Africa population. Real photograph of Greg Marianovich, winner of the Pulitzer in 1991.  And did not like that the film gives the  greatest importance to the life of photographers over the struggle of blak people for their liberation and achieve a democratic system.  2.  How does the film make you think about your future role as journalists and film makers/producers/creators/directors? Well, I think in many things when watching this film, for example, the importance of photography and journalism itself to show social problems in other parts of the world, where people fight for their human rights. In this sense, I would like to work on docume

Goodbye Bafana

Imagen
1.  In general, what did you like and dislike about the film? The film is quite entertaining as it shows Mandela's life and the history of South Africa during Apartheid from another perspective. 2.  Who was the character you liked the most and the character you liked the least in the film? Why? For me James Gregory is a very good character, because it shows how a person can change their perception, especially on issues as relevant as political ideology. 3.  How do the versions of James Gregory, Nelson Mandela, and Winnie Mandela compare between  Goodbye Bafana and Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom? In the first film, Mandela's family is exposed in a closer way. In this film, however, the roles they play are preponderant and a little more distant, since the life of James Gregory and his change of position are prioritized in regarding the system of racial segregation.

1. In general, what did you like and dislike about the film? I like so much the importance in the movie of Winnie Mandela, because I see and undesrstand how she works for the more society equalitarian.  2. In your own words, how would you compare the "various Mandelas;" the ones from the article and the one from the film? The article explain the history, politic and economic of South Africa in that historic period. But the film is about of the life and role of Nelson Mandela for change his country and finish with the Apartheid system. 3. What was the role that Winnie Mandela played in the film?

In January 2015, I went to the south of Chile with my parents. These vacations were incredible and beautiful, because I knew cities and places, like Valdivia, Puerto Varas, Puerto Montt and the Island of Chiloé. The trip was one week, it is a short time, but we went to different places and did many things activities. This vacation was incredible because I ate many delicious things, for example, alfajores. Also, that with my father I drank beer in the town of Niebla. The best thing about this trip was that we got to know the Churches of Chiloé, as well as visiting places in the city of Valdivia, such as the botanical park, the Austral University itself. Another great thing was navigating the river on Street Street. Thus, we saw and learned about the fauna and flora of the Valdivian forest, a natural place very green and full of life. Photo: Valdivia city. I love the city of Valdivia, because this place is very relaxed, peaceful and beautiful, with totally

My challenge with the English

Imagen
My main challenges with English are to interact with people who have this language as a native language, as well as expand my vocabulary, learn more about the language in terms of its correct grammatical use, as well as knowing new expressions. I would like to put it this way to understand and then use English more naturally. The blogs I have taken to raise issues of personal interest, as well as social interest, but always with a focus on dialogue and debate of ideas. In addition, I have published more personal things, such as aspects as intimate as my place of residence and which animals are part of my family. Outside the University I have tried to continue practicing English in a more interpretative way, so to speak, that is, every time I read a text or listen to a song in English I try to decipher its meaning with the basic notions that I have as well as those I learned in the course. Well, I know it's a great challenge because my memory does not help me much when it
