May 18

MdSt 20: May 18 Disturbing images and realities in the video…

  1. Students continued to watch Farenheit 911. We stopped at different occassions while students asked questions or commented on parts they were upset by.
  2. Things in this documentary are starting to resemble other things we’ve discussed in class, like the footage of soldiers in Iraq approaching their work there like it is a video game with wild music on in the background. There is also similar footage from another documentary we watched that showed the effects of the napalm-like substance the U.S dropped in Iraq that was meant for terrorists but hit many civilians.

Controvery over the documentary playing in cinemas around the country. Documentaries haven’t, until recently, been shown in mainstream cinemas.
