HW40: Teen Boys Working in Iraq

Posted on April 13th, 2008 in Uncategorized by ecoyle

The episode that I chose to watch was Iraqi Teens Work to Help Their Families. This episode is the series called Alive In Baghdad. It was published on October 15, 2007. This podcast was about how Iraqi teens work to help their families. It features three different Iraqi teen boys. One of the boys is fourteen years old and in sixth grade. He works for his father and uncle as a carpenter. He has been working since he was a child. He builds and paints furniture. The scenery is pretty plain. It was filmed primarily outside. Everything seems to looks gray. After watching this podcast a viewer might learn about the current condition in Iraq. Also, what it is like to be growing up in present day Iraq. The difficulties with safety and finances. The podcasts is along the same lines as other videos I have seen about present day Iraq. One thing that really stuck out to me in the podcast was when the teens talked about the safety issue that they face on a daily basis. http://aliveinbaghdad.org/2007/10/15/iraqi-teens-work-to-help-their-families/
