Documentary of Julio/Pepe Ex-convict

 

Watching the documentary of “The murder or Ella Lee Bennet” was a real good documentary. I got to understand who the mother  Charity was and the son Paris who killed his younger sister Ella at age 4 years old. When i was listening to the tapes when they played back the night he viciously attacked his sister i believed what he said until the mother said he lied. He basically said he seen his sister as a demon and he was hallucinating when it happened. Later towards the end of the documentary he expressed to the interviewer that he was not hallucinating that he did what he did and tried to fabricate the story for himself. The documentary spoke a little about the mother of Charity who was arrested for killing Charity father when Charity was 5 years old. She was acquitted for the murder but Charity her daughter still believed that her mother murdered her dad. She also felt both her mother and son had issues. Paris seems like a nice young boy in the videos was shown when he was less then 10 years old. He seemed as if he got along with his sister and loved her very much. Charity the mother said that her son got along with his sister but at first he was  jealous when his baby sister was born. Paris was 13 years old  when  murdered his sister.  That day Charity went to work and the babysitter was in the house. He manipulated the babysitter and told her that she can go home and that he would watch his little sister. That was the night he attacked her by stabbing her 17 times, some on the torso, head, neck, back, punched her to. From the police reports he did a lot of damage to his sister. When he called 911 and said he killed his sister because he though she was a demon the operator told him to do CPR on her but of course that didn’t work because she was already dead. Charity suffered after her daughter was killed having to relive the moment that she went to work and received the phone call that her daughter died and they had her son in custody. Charity even though what she had been through she still visit her son and request that he remains getting the help. He was scheduled for parole at age 33 years old. He claims that he will change his life and become a better person. Charity the mother feels otherwise and thinks that he needs to stay in jail and get the help because he is a sociopath but her mother doesn’t think that he is. Overall the hole documentary was worth seeing and there was so much detail to it.

I thought of doing the visual poem on a couple from new york city. I have a few ideas but I may just stick to this one for now for this project. If I am having trouble with it then I will do it on something else. My plan is to get some footage on a couple doing something like eating, talking, looking and dazing at one another. Many people in NYC are so busy with their lives we continuously hear the troubles that people go through. What about a simple NYC love story. In my opinion, I believe that would be a good thing especially for couple  and for the public. Something that is not about frustration of an overcrowded subway, or criminal acts. As New York City residents we want to hear about something good for once even if it is short and sweet. That is my idea for the visual poem.
