Ok, the production level of this piece is good. Tape sound is good and music weaves in and out as we meet new people.
Bearing that in mind I still found this piece to be not very interesting at all. I would say that it is a PSA, but it doesn't really explore the notion of "service". Its really more like a commercial for the Ibdaa Cultural Center.
I don't doubt that the center is a very important part of a a community that has seen its share of hardship...so, tell me about it! Give me a couple characters to become interested in, give me some narrative, and some reflections to bring it all together.
Instead, all we have here is an 8 minute cacophony of Arabic voices with English overdubs about nothing of particular interest.
