Oral histories bring to our sense of the present of mans dominion over forces of natureA documentary film by Spike lee an African American director When the Levees broke A requiem in Four Acts Is a heart-rending story of those who survived the destroy ordeal of the destruction of New siege of Orleans. The film also looks at a city that has triumphed over its ordeal because of the resilience of its community, surviving death and amidst the ruins they find strength. A sign of the New Orleaneans rich cultural legacy. The spirit of new Orleaneans says Lee is indomitable these people are accustomed to hardships, they are battle for their lives. Again man was put to test Man as always founder dominion over the forces of nature.They will never disappear in this planet. Oral history from different interview cleared out that the reason why the city is 80 percent underwater is not because of th e hurricane Katrina but it was the severance on the embankment of the river. Lee also mentioned the U. S. government sluggish chemical reaction to the problem of the poor African American citizen. His identity again in his sense of place re-echoed inequality among men. His resilience was deeply rooted on earth and in his consciousness that it is his instinct to survive no affaire what. Man therefore is still the master of the created world.Lee incorporates in his film a musical gardening that is only(prenominal) driven by pure passionateness and honesty. Their identity has persisted. Their voices and songs are strong and firm. The heart of the marvelous film is revolve around on the president of the most powerful country indifference and circumspection in relation to the destruction of New Orleans compared to catastrophic contend in new(prenominal) countries.

However, it is Lees job or duty to ask those difficult questions. A question that stirs up feelings and make people break d receive (Lee). Although the intention is to have people talk about how it can make deviates in their own perspective about life. The outrage for the 45 million African-Americans of these Euopean journalists jumps on Lee as if he was the spokesperson of this neglected community which is being set by the almighty U.S. A. as a third world country. It was the time that the film director of this story decided to do it. Never did the federal official government neglected its own citizen who needful help. Lee even criticized when a horrific earthquake hits Indonesia, and in two days the US government was there. Asking the question did you see the distance between Indonesia and the New Orleans? Only one fourth of the population is there.

It is hoped that the oral history documentary will remind the U. S. that New Orleaneans is not over with the pli ght. They in fact need help. The film will also curb the pros and cons over what happened to New Orleans as a definitive significance to the history of America. It is hoped that the film will be and elegy for the lost culture of the inhabitants of New Orleans real state in relation to the calamity and may impart an impressive vastness of our new century (Fraser and ). A life story is an oral unit of social interaction (Linde).These are coming from interviews and can be written as autobiographies. A biography ends till the end of someone else life.

Digital humbug telling has truly taken its ground in the Internet. Cyberactivism changes the course of history in a way it disseminate friendship and stories.Conclusion and reflection of consequences of Digital Story Telling to Oral History Documentaries Story telling is a very intimate gesture of intimacy, one listens and the other gives confidence to the recipient. Oral histories based on traditional documentaries are facts based on the actual experiences of man. The consequence of digital story telling to oral history i s the easy access and immediate control of the written facts of the documents. If not properly controlled could lead readers and listeners into error. The sense of documentaries in our life is to use this knowledge as a tool in order to know where we lead.Past experiences is needed in order to open the gates of tomorrow and make the present a life worth living. Mans constancy to change needs a journal of his life in order not to get lost. Loosing a culture is loosing oneself. The rich experience of human history is the sublime reality of his existence. Though oral history documentary is place with facts, digital story telling though there is a congener cyber activism may lead truth to some manipulations which may cloud the truths and could give information which is only beneficial to a few.Mans history always underlines who are the strong and the weak. Though both are man, the least becomes a lesser being in terms of his presence in a civil society. It is the mighty that continuou s to flourish. In this world of indifference history reflects the downfall of the greedy as if someone, stronger than nature dictates the course of history for the whole humankind. In some way, our life story though we may have choices is or was predestined.
