  • For years, Juan Carlos was a hero in his country. He remains an icon for the Spanish people, the living embodiment of the democratic transition and the face of Franco-released Spain. How was he able to become the ardent defender of democracy? How has he been able to form this progressive political ideal? Why did he believe in democracy at a time when few did? Or has he simply sought to remain on the throne at all costs, knowing that only a softening of the regime would allow this? This documentary attempts to answer these questions by analyzing his journey from childhood to the coup of 1981.

      If the documentary is narrated in a certain language, then the voiceover of that language should be of the same volume. The original interview voice track should always be lower than the narration in the language of the documentary. The result is the sense of people talking over each other, and in the end; nothing is understood.

    If you could re-record the voice over the Spanish speakers that would be great. The volume of the Spanish speakers should be turned down so that the English speaker's voice can be heard clearly. Right now as it is, it is very difficult to hear what the English speaker is saying.

    I am very interested in this documentary, however it is extremely hard to follow as the Spanish and English voices intermingle and none of them are understandable. The volume of Spanish voices should have been lowered for the English to be heard properly, or as others said should have used subtitles. It's a pity for this work and none can hear it properly!

    Botswana has the largest Elephant population in Africa and is home to almost a third of the Elephants in Africa. Botswana’s hunting season runs from the beginning of April to the end of September. You are not allowed to hunt female, young and/or immature animals. Animal husbandry is a complex matter. If an elephant is legally shot, and shooting of animals is sometimes appropriate to the benefit of the herd or species, for example too many males, or an animal that is suffering or carrying an infectious disease, as sad as it is to not let mother nature take care of the situation, at least the sizeable fee paid (in this case by a billionaire Middle East prince) will potentially be of benefit to continued protection from poachers and other aspects of the health of elephants, and indeed other animals Humans, that is us, assume care of. But hyperbole is the weapon that ends great people's careers.

    Juan Carlos should forever be condemned and despised for his brutal, sadistic hunt and killing of elephants and other animals. *He is utterly unworthy to be the recipient of any privilege or honor of any kind.*
    What does it say about the ethics and humanity of a man who has the desire to hunt an animal, to watch it flee and struggle in fear, to witness the terror of it's family and others in the herd and to watch it die in agony? He is a criminal. He is a disgrace.

      How many species of animal's do you speak of? Who's the leader of the country hunting game is permitted? Does this government have wild life rangers in the area's these animal's habitat? Has the leadership of the country have laws, the amount of animal's permitted to a hunter? Do they require all visitors to register weapons and require a license ? Your country should tax reasonable and have a sign in ledger keep records maybe offer promotional or something, I've giving you solutions here on this comment and your robbing me now.
