The Screening Room

I watched the video "Force 1 TD" it was about a group of roommates, one who was visually impaired and had a miniature guide horse because he was allergic to horses.  This guide horse, Carmen, was quite original because he was always wearing sneakers, nice ones at that from Air Jordans to Nikes, all of which were custom fit for his hooves.  Lewis, the owner of the horse would carry around ziploc bags to put over his shoes when he went to the bathroom so he wouldn't get any stains on them.  These three roommates went on a short road trip to get Carmen a new pair of gold sneakers to complete his prom outfit running into a few speed bumps along the way.

I thought this was a really cute film, short and sweet.  I have worked with guide animals in the past which is the main reason that this filmed jumped out at me.  Lewis had a really special bond with Carmen, and his roommates would do anything to help either of them out.  This story showed really good morals, that no matter how different you are you should still be treated with all the care and respect you deserve.
