...most basic cinema-verite tradition, A Choice I Made tries to put the viewer behind the volunteer's eyes to experience what they are experiencing. For example, we are treated to a motorcycle ride at 40 m.p.h. down the village mainstreet, dodging all kinds of carts and cows, as a volunteer poultry farmer brings his eggs to market.
