when it branched out into television i was weary of consuming such a beautiful auditory experience in a visual environment.
i watched season 1 and 2 of this american life this week.
for the most part the episodes were exactly what i expected.
great audio interviews flavored with cliche b-roll footage.
but then...
i watched episode 6 of the 2nd season.
and saw 44 beautiful minutes of poignant documentary film.
the episode follows 7 different men at different stages in their lives.
all with the same name.
john smith.
the program was incredibly moving and left me teary eyed.
for those of you on netflix, this american life is available to watch on demand.
