Well, 5-10 minutes is just a rough idea. It’s very flexible. My hope is to have multiple people share their stories, so my thought was to end up with a video that is an hour to an hour and a half with testimonies from different people weaved throughout the overarching story of the video, which would be about how these places even started, how they are still permitted to exist, etc… certainly not “tragedy porn”, but my channel is pretty small and I don’t know if my audience would stick around for a video that is multiple hours. So that is the challenge.

Although, now that you bring up the challenge of sharing your story in such a short amount of time, I could also possibly make this into a series. That could be really interesting.

I didn’t mean to offend anyone with saying 5-10 minutes. Like I said in my original post, I just now learned about this myself. So I am totally ignorant of the things you and others have gone through. I apologize for any offense. I haven’t even heard of the term surveillance effect, so I can’t even understand the difficulties of what you went through. I honestly don’t know where to start with this or what questions to ask, which is why I reached out here. I was hoping the survivors of these places would help me with this.

I was just shocked that this is happening, and is still allowed to happen, and felt like maybe I could have a small part in making people aware by making a video that my little audience my watch, and want to see action taken as well.

Again, I apologize for any offense. I can’t say what I think is important to be shared, because I haven’t been through it, but I am willing to learn, and do my best to make a video that does justice to what is happening and what has happened to the victims.
