The Good and Bad Qualties of a Short Documentary.

    I chose to watch a video documentary on global warming and natural disasters. The title is called " A News Show About Climate Change and Natural Disasters",  and it is presented by "The Atlantic" website. In this five minute video the women shares important world news about these two pertaining factors. She mentions disasters that include rain, snow, and dust all the way from Asia to Europe, and then North America. In the beginning she mentioned global warming's correlation with natural disasters, but didn't elaborate on that specific topic until the end of the video. Included in this short documentary is a few good and bad qualities.
    She begins the video describing a flood in Thailand that has killed many people, over 500 in fact. She also shares the total damage cost that is predicted to be about 4 million. She states her sources from getting this information and they were credible. Along with describing the incident in Thailand, the video includes good and precise visuals to see the real damage.
    I believe it is important for us to know about extreme weather all around the globe. Although, the women began the video by describing Thailand, I believe she should of started with the problems of natural disasters in the U.S then moved onto other countries. How ever, she was still successful in presenting the information to us. Not only did she describe what the disaster was, but also how it effected the people and community of the particular area. I also believe that it would of been effective for her to describe how they deal with the natural disaster before it hits, but she described the aftermath frequently.
    Towards the end of the video the women says that certain regions around the globe will experience more violent weather in the future. However, she does not specify what regions that will be. After this, the video finally begins to describe the correlation between climate change and natural disasters. Overall, I would not recommend someone to watch this short documentary unless they were specifically interested in natural disasters. This is because global warming isn't mentioned through out the whole video. But, the information that was presented can be considered credible and accurate.
