 * You, along with your journalist partner, are completely broke. You are both in debt up to your eyeballs. Luckily for you, your favorite television channel, The History Channel, has just sent out an advertisement calling for viewers to make video reports for an open episode slot on their new hit show, "World War II and Today's World with Larry the Cable Guy." This show focuses on comparing and tracing back events from today's world to events and the outcome of World War II. Your task will be to find an event in today's world that can be compared or traced back to an event or outcome of World War II. Not only this, but you must prove the the History Channel judges who will be evaluating your entry that your episode will be better than anyone else's. You must make a video report entry on iMovie demonstrating the main focus of what your episode will consist of. This could be your big break because if you win this competition, your names will be out there and surely more job opportunities will follow. Not to mention the $5,000 cash prize for winning. Good luck. ||
