Review of The Forgotten

This is a good piece even though it's short, I wish it were longer but I guess that just depends on what you were trying to convey to the listener. Whenever I hear in depth real pieces like this I always ask myself what was the point? How can I help? A lot of times documentaries come out which are purely sensational and exploitative. There's a tragedy, a victim, a microphone and a camera in someones face. There are these oooh and ahh moments but no results. Now I know that like me you are and up and coming producer and in no way some big media giant trying to exploit someone?s else?s pain but I wish that as a listener there was a number or an email address, a website where me and other people who listen to this piece could send some money. This is something that may sound difficult but it?s definitely possibly. When people listen to real pieces like yours or anyone?s they can be come moved and inspired, but the trick is giving the audience directions where to move to. People do care and do want change they just need to be told how to do it. The production on your piece was good the only thing missing was how the audience can help. This is a great piece I look forward to listening to more of your work.
