“The Present” would be a good video to show to English Language Learners and have them write and speak about what happened in the film.
The Present from Jacob Frey on Vimeo.
I’d be particularly interested in hearing thoughts from people with physical disabilities about what they thought of the story….
Animals, dogs are a blessing. I am Epileptic, and only my dog made me feel better when I was diagnosed with it, (during my adolescence). “Neta” kept me company and somehow encouraged me to leave my house and walk a bit, as I was depressed. I have always had dogs at home since then, I can’t picture my home without these members of my family. This short film, touched my heart. Thank you!
Best wishes,
