The third feature length film I saw was “Our Time,” a film about 4 college graduates that tour all lower 48 states to talk with their contemporaries(mostly) about how they felt about the way the world, country, society, etc was headed. Yes, their is a North Dakota segment, filmed in a typical small town of a few more than a houndred people.  We are all familiar with many such towns, unless we have esconced ourselves in Fargo or Grand Forks for all ourlives.  They did hit all of the lowr 48 and most of the major sections of the country.  I found the dilm somewhat uplifting, as the youthful spirit of
many of the interviewees was apparent.  I found it ironic that the first interview was with a young lady whose father hated n…ers and thought they should be all sent back to Africa(makes as much sense as sending me back to Europe), while one of the last interviews of the movie was with a group of apparently intellectual students from Morehouse College, a predominantly African American institution if Atlanta. I always enjoy juxtaposition of ignorant redneck and African American intellectual.
