through eyes of others

want to see the world through eyes of others?

look no further than the documentary section of your local library.

my empathy and curiosity took a great flying leap after viewing the following films:

"a man called ove" (what the world looks like to a fictional swedish widower)

"one day on earth:  the world's time capsule" (what was going on around the world on 10.10.10)

"happy people:  a year in the taiga" (putting yourself into the skis of hunters in siberia)

"orchestra of exiles" (how violinist bronislaw huberman saved over 1,000 jews with music)

it's akin to travel, really, when you can't leave home...so many perspectives!  i highly recommend it, when your world feels small, and even when it doesn't!
