Ucronia

long time ago since I wrote anything (several months) but I'm very busy ... the truth is that my posts are a little sloppy, but by no means abandoned. I have many projects ment all require some preparation, and therefore have free time, before uploading ... To see if the end of August, when he returns from vacation, I find time to hang some of the things to be ...
But today I just want to make a small point, which does not require much time and yet I find very interesting.

For those who do not know (that some will), the ucronia is a form of historical speculation arises that would have happened if a significant event in the past had not taken place, or had an outcome different. A couple of weeks, making záping, I found a very interesting documentary. Unfortunately the issue had already started and to check the schedule in the newspaper did not appear as expected (Barcelona TV aired it.)
was actually a fake documentary that recounted the history of the United States since the Civil War to the present. Only raised as if the South had won the war and the U.S. had left her like a slave Republic (as contradictory as it seems, Athens also was). The true picture of certain events of all known, was mixed with false images, recorded with actors. Besides being performed in a flawlessly (did not have quite the stale look of those documentaries that include fragments dreadful dramas in which actors appear horrible), it really looked like a documentary, so I was hooked. I found it started and during the first five minutes I found this disconcerting, because it was clearly mentioned as president someone who has never been such (in reality the presidents who succeeded in power formed a kind of family dynasty).
Just when they ask me what the fuck was that, announcing a pause for advertisements (also false), during which advertisements were broadcast in color on the sale and rental of slaves ... color.

Fortunately, at the end of the issue came out a presenter who gave all the information about the film. It's called The Confederate States or America and led a certain Kevin Willmott in 2004. Spain has published earlier this year (the only store I've found where they seem to have it in Hard Gong) and I buy it next week (costs about 10 euros) and full view, I do not detail the content not to eviscerate those who may be interested ...

In line with this, I remember now another mockumentary I caught also by chance, but I have no much information (and the story here in case someone knows something and can give clues to get it). In this case it was a sort of futuristic assumption on the evolution of animal species on Earth. It issued several chapters, I saw one started and a couple more, and speculate on what new species on the planet would be developed based on certain assumptions regarding climate change. A number of specialists (think authentic but acting) intervened occasionally, but most were great curi osis animals with (of course, all done with computer tricks), species that had evolved to adapt to new conditions ... if anyone knows how to get ...
