Very well done. The editing was smooth in that I didn't notice it, the camera work was solid, and aside from a few wind issues, the sound was clear and well balanced throughout. I'm not sure what was up with the aspect ratio, though, whether that happened in editing/conversion, or whether the site did it to your video. This can be a pain in the ass depending on the software used, etc.
I think everybody is trying to get a handle of what works for citizen reporting as far as technical matters go, but I felt this was an effective piece overall, both technically, and as far as getting your POV across. In my TV production classes, we had to follow a stricter set of "rules" as far as format, but there really are no rules for this other than be effective, so not much for me to say on this point.
While not getting into the specifics of the politics, I think considering that your group had a POV going in (one I share, so consider me somewhat biased in my criticism), you did do a good job of not just making it a hatchet job. I'm sure you saw in editing that it would have been really easy to make the opposition sound even worse than it did. You got soundbites from both officials and followers of the movement, and gave each bit some length for context (something this format allows freedom for, whereas TV news has to really cut those quotes down to a bare minimum).
So, thumbs up, would watch more from you.
