The documentary was interesting, I enjoyed seeing the way he tried to deal with all of his problems rather than reading it in the book. For example the two pots with sand and water which he tried to use as a fridge. The fridge failed and you could see in the way he acted that it was very heartbreaking to him when his efforts failed. I also was surprised to see that when Colin went to visit schools, college students and even young children seemed very engaged in his conversation. From my personal experience I can say that if he visited my previous schools the majority of people would not be engaged with him.

You should go see him tomorrow night (Wed) when he is here and see if he “clicks” with the BGSU population! Thanks for sharing your experience with the documentary!
