The slightly muffled sound of the cat's meow and possible other noises that is audible beginning at approximately the 1: 24 time stamp is adorable and loveable, but leaves me anxious/worried/concerned regarding whether the cat sounds involve animal abuse.
The official archives of the Canadian Truth and Reconciliation Commission are locates at my alma mater (University of Manitoba, and I vividly recall seeing a K-12-type all-ages prairie schoolhouse class picture photograph on an official CRTC website that also depicted an exhausted class dog, who was also possibly even sleeping through the action of photographing the schoolchildren, who sadly was probably the receiver of the reactionary aftermath frustration and abuse involved in living amongst students who were abused and maltreated by the (sometimes, at least) Roman Catholic nuns and other religious members in a position of power in these communities. The abuse would be, in all likelihood, horrific, dangerous, life-threatening, disturbing, and chilling.

Going through this with my family now. My great grandfather left over 50acres 7hours away from us. and it hasnt been used in over 18yrs. my grandfather wants to sell as he tired of paying property tax and doesnt want us to be burdened by it. but I honestly still see much value in the land and know it was left to the family for a reason. not to mention just the memories of being there are enough to keep it. I told my grandfather if before he sells it I get enough to buy it I am. and my plans are to restore it to the way my great grandad had it. I just cant bare seeing someone else on that land smh.

6: 20 grain elevator and train and railway linea very closely resemble the no longer operational grain elevator structure near Dugald, Manitoba, Canada! The franchise-like similar building designs and exteriors located immediately adjacent to the rail line that were built across Canada and portions of the United States of America have an undeniably appealing (and historically intriguing) character to them. They were instrumental in the founding/establishment of the respective towns that they were built to serve, and I think that seems very cool!

I thought NYT was finally going to talk about the South African farms forcefully collectivized, and of the staunching stubbornness of their settlers. I was wrong.

NYT Op-Docs are always so powerful. It's strange. living a life in a city on the other side of earth, and still feeling what the narrator feels.

The country where you were born is a great birthplace. A small village, where you were born - this is a little homeland.
