Hi guys,
Here is the info. on checking out the show (Departures) I mentioned last class. The entire series is amazing! Here is how to access the Sri Lanka episode. It’s a bit complicated because I can’t seem to post the exact link here…so,
- go to: oln.ca
- click on “shows”
- click on “travel”
- click on the third show down, Departures
- scroll down a bit and on the right hand side click on “watch latest episodes”
- then pick Sri Lanka
Its just the last five minutes of the episode I was reminded of in class. It shows a festival in Colombo where apparently people from all different religions come together to celebrate. I found this very interesting after talking so much about the polarization that seems to exist in Sri Lanka. This kind of gathering seems to show that there is some degree of tolerance and unity in the country. It would be interesting to explore what exactly is generating and sustaining this kind of acceptance and how it can be expanded further.
Enjoy 🙂
