6. Write a personal response on your thoughts on this video (What you learned, how it may
or may not apply to your life, how it made you feel, what did it make you think about,etc.).

I personally found this film quite interesting. I feel like it did a good job in portraying a
dictatorship form of government. This film does not apply to me, as I live under a
democratic form of government in which I am provided with basic rights and the freedom
to say no to whatever I feel uncomfortable doing. This film made me feel very fortunate to
be living in a country where I can live my life by making my own choices and decisions,
and not be forced participate in activities I do not want to participate in.
