Very nice documentary. The photographs are great and constitute
some very valuable documentation put together with a lot of very
hard work.
The captioning could do with some improvement though. All that
stuff about outsiders rather misses the point, given that the
documentary itself shows that a good part of the destruction is
being done by Goans -- builders and politicians. The point is
hardly one about ethnic origin, but of the destruction that
people, irrespective of origin, engage in and benefit from.
As you say, the .mov format has some limitations, particularly in
terms of loss of quality. One option would be to convert the
original high-quality file to a good container format like .avi
and upload as a torrent file.
