CBS News Video

The video that I decided to critique stuck out to me because of its dramatical intentions. The story is about actress Holly Robinson Peete, who has had a lot of roles in her career. However, her family, more specifically, her son is the subject of this video. Her son has autism and Holly has been there every step of the way to help with his continuing struggles.

In my very important opinion, the story was good, if you're looking for something depressing. But really, it was a story that forces the audience to appreciate their health. The feel-good part of the story was just showing a good Mom in action. Holly has sacrificed so much for her son, giving up most of her acting career. The love shown in the video was very apparent.

In no way, shape, or form would this story have the impact in text that it does in video. The emotions that are shown by both Holly and her son could not be expressed in text.
