@TGayatri I got an honorable mention at the MA states competition. My criticism was that I didn't focus enough on the Cold War and I didn't have enough of a anti-Borlaug argument. Oh well, it still looks good on a college application.
-
@Scrizzard Congrats! are you doing Norman Borlaug this year or was that last year?
We are also moving on to state this year as well... we will see how that goes.
-
I came in first at the regional competition and have submitted my paper to the state competition. I feel confident, and it's going pretty well.
-
Great Video! I am impressed by your passion for green revolutions.
Best of luck!

Great video. Learned more about Dr Borlaug and how he achieved his results here than any place else on youtube.
-
God bless this humanity hero. RIP Norman Borlaug.

RIP Dr. Borlaug, the epitome of a humanitarian. You will be missed, but the hundreds of millions of lives you saved from starvation will be your legacy.

I did a historical paper on Norman Borlaug and the Green Revolution also for NHD. You did a good job. Some friendly criticism:
Borlaug didn't arrive with an "army of scientists", the Rockefeller Foundatiob only sent a handful.
India and Pakistan didn't open their arms to Borlaug in 1965. He gradually received permission to plant more and more test land.
Borlaug also had nothing directly to do with GMOs.
You also skip over Africa and the SAA. He didn't eliminate hunger there by any means.

I can see where in some instances you might be slightly confused. However I think that most of the discrepancies occured mainly because storytelling is a incorrect form of relating pure historical facts rather than an attempt to mislead the viewer.
ex. army of scientists - to make it sound more exciting
But the one part i thought we made clear was that Pakistan and India certaily didn't welcome Dr. Borlaug with open arms.
Well i guess that's just my individual interpretation. :) Thanks!

this is really good! My friends and I are doing a documentary and we were wondering, how many sources did you have?
SuperflyThree 2 years ago
well over 100 sources. whether we cited them or not is another story. i confess that at 3:00 in the morning we weren't so much concerned with accuracy as with finishing.
