I thought they did a very good job of getting the interviews to tell the story; they did not need a ton of narration. I also felt like they did a good job of mixing in relevant clips throughout the interviews and of capturing life in Uganda through baseball.

Guardian open journalism: Three Little Pigs Video

Video

This is basically just a video of a guy dunking a basketball, but I feel like the director did a good job of getting so many different angles of the same action. It kept the video very entertaining.

Example of Video

A Hidden America: Children of the Mountains

This is just a clip from the ABC documentary that follows the lives of people in Appalachia.  I think this clip, as well as the documentary as a whole, does a very good job of using different angles to tell the story, as well as showing images of whatever the person being interviewed is talking about, not just the person's face. It does a very good job of bringing you into the story and keeping you engaged.

Video

Poisoned Places: Tonawanda, N.Y.
This video does a good job of capturing the city and the resident's emotions. Because the video is about a smell which can not be explained visually, the smell is explained well by the people speaking.
