Description
Being able to engage with a cultural contribution critically and absorb its contents is a vital skill for any researcher or writer. This assignment will offer a documentary film and require students to evaluate the contents. Students should consider what sources the film uses – are they oral or archival, and where were they gathered – and the author’s relationship to the material he or she has published. Major debates which relate to the articles should be identified and discussed within the review. The review must be 2-3 pages in length and correspond to an appropriate journal format suitable for an academic publication.
Paragraph 1: Detail the film maker. Where are they from? University affiliation? Expertise? Experience? Awards achieved?
Paragraph 2: What types of sources did they use? Are they primary or secondary? Archives?
Paragraph 3: What is the central point? Why do we care? What is the movie trying to say? What are the arguments made in the film?
Paragraph 4: What was the impact has this film had? Was there any controversy? Was there any debate surrounding the film? What is the importance of the film? How has it changed the narrative? If at all?
*Use as many sources as needed, does not have to be four*
