Alone in the Wilderness, the story of Dick Proenneke

Posted by Pete Berg on Tuesday, May 4th, 2010 at 3:16 pm

I watched “Alone in the Wilderness” last night, and it was one of the most endearing, heartwarming and folksy documentaries I’ve ever seen. Today, I just can’t stop thinking about it. It tells the story of Dick Proenneke, a 51 year old from Iowa, who moves to the Alaska wilderness in the ’60s and builds a permanent homestead there. He lived there alone for the next 35 years, and recorded film of himself and the nature surrounding him. After his death in 2003, a filmmaker produced three films from his footage and meticulous notes.

I’m not sure if anyone else will find it as interesting or entrancing as me, but here is the first ten minutes of “Alone in the Wilderness.” If you like it, I highly encourage you to watch the rest of this film, as well as the other two films in this series:

Tan Hong Ming in love… cutest thing ever

Posted by Pete Berg on Tuesday, April 20th, 2010 at 10:25 am

Not only is this just about the cutest video ever, but it’s also has an anti-racist message and shows that children really are colorblind… “To those who still don’t get it. Tan Hong Ming is Chinese, Umi Qazrina is a native Malay. There are tensions between the two races in Malaysia. But these 2 children can put aside racial differences because they see no barriers. Barriers are what adults invent to differentiate themselves.”
