Open Book

On September 5, I went back to Ottawa for more filming. I had one question in mind: Is your life story as important as a story you write in a book? To know more about what was on people's mind, I found that the Ottawa Public Library would be the best setting.

A library is always a great place to start since it's where great thinkers are gathered and displayed. I was kind of intimidated and nervous to take up that challenge, but for one, I needed human contact and secondly I wanted to know what was in people's mind about that question.

I thought of calling in advance the public library, but I know too well that they wouldn't have allowed any free filming or photographing inside the premises. So I boldly went... I made sure I was ok by asking the person at the desk.

I was sure hoping to find the perfect gem who would accept to answer my question, and I did. I thought it would be best if I interviewed outside the library, so that is what I did. I met Mya, and surprisingly, she accepted to answer my question. I thought at first that she would have given me a 'well of course my life story is as important as one written in a book', but she told me instead that she thought stories in books were greater than her own life... then I wondered... is this what most people think? Maybe not, but nevertheless I knew why she was thinking that way. If you want to see Mya's video click on the following link: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/Ghvjt4Zu4HE6LLxE/
